<div>I just remembered there is a single stray find of a antler harpoon from southwest Hungary. I include the image here. Most the Hungarian Mesolithic seems to be buried under meters of loess so their absence is probly related to taphonomic issues rather than a genuine absence from the archaeological record. Antler harpoons also become common in our late Neolithic.</div>

Strange enough, in Early Neolithic, I haven't seen one single harpoon, but they appear again with Late Neolithic. <br><font color="#888888"><br>s. <br></font>

<div>Hello everyone,<br>hello Vida, I am here :)))<br>Jenn, if you are interested in barbed points only, that there aren't<br>many in the Iron Gates. From Vlasac, only two pieces were published so<br>far; and I am currently working on the assemblage from Kula, where I<br>
have also just two pieces. Here are the published pieces from Vlasac,<br>the book is "Vlasac. Mezolitsko naselje u Ðerdapu", written by Dragoslav<br>Srejoviæ and Zagorka Letica, published by Srpska akademija nauka i<br>
umetnosti, Beograd, 1978.<br>Plain projectile points - unbarbed - are much more common, they occur in<br>Vlasac, Lepenski Vir and other sites in the Iron Gates, but also in<br>Early Neolithic sites such as Donja Branjevina and Starèevo.<br>
As to the Romanian side at the Iron Gates, you have publications from<br>Corneliu Beldiman.<br><br>best, Selena<br><br><br>On 1 June 2011 18:09, Jean-Marc Petillon <<a href="mailto:petillon@univ-tlse2.fr" target="_blank">petillon@univ-tlse2.fr</a><br>

<div><br><br> I am currently writing my MA dissertation as a student at Durham<br> University - Prehistory Dept. While I have collected a large<br> number of<br> images of Mesolithic bone and antler barbed points, and have<br>
personally<br> viewed the collection from Star Carr at Cambridge University, I<br> would<br> like to have more images, and would like to view more artefacts.<br> Does<br> any member of the list have a suggestion as to museum catalogues,<br>
websites with images, or know the current location of points from<br> Friesack, Hohen-Viecheln, Duvensee, Mullerup, Vinde-Helsinge,<br> Zvejnieki<br> or any other sites with a large number of recovered points?<br>
Thank you so<br> much for any information,<br><br> Jenn Richards<br> Durham University<br></div></div></blockquote>
