Yes, I think it is. They just turned it upside down probably because they were not sure what it was. The inscription says "spear head". <br>Strange enough, in Early Neolithic, I haven't seen one single harpoon, but they appear again with Late Neolithic. <br>

On your picture of the Vlasac artifacts, could the one on the right be a harpoon base? (with lateral spurs and turned upside down)<br>

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>

I don't know if this is within your geographic/chronological scope,<br>
but there are more than 2,000 antler barbed points in the French and<br>
Spanish Upper Magdalenian (16-14 kyr cal BP). There is one MA<br>
student in Toulouse working on this right now, and for northern<br>
Spain you should speak with Alexandra Silva from Santander<br></div>

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>
