Hello,<br><br>Or maybe for hide working. Rhinoceros scapula have been used like
spatula during the Pavlovien (Moravia) : you may see the last

<span>Dear Colleagues,</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<span>We have </span><span>recently
come across an interesting "tool-assemblage" from Late Neolithic
(Lengyel culture) graves from Southern Hungary. It is a red deer antler
stick (usually about 35-45 cm long) and
an <span>aurochs</span> (or cattle) scapula-fragment. The stick is placed on the <span style="font-style:italic"></span>scapula as you may see on the attached picture. The edges of the articulation surface and the <span style="font-style:italic">collum</span><span style="font-style:italic"> </span>of scapula shows <span><span>hand-polish,</span></span> and the originally broken surface is also rounded and polished in some degree. These two artefacts are placed behind the back of the <span><span>buried</span></span>
person (so far only men), together with other utensils from bone and
stone. Nevertheless, our colleague who studies the household remains
from the same site, founds more and more such kind of scapula-tools. This would
suggest that it is a more frequent and ordinary type as we initially
thought. However, we still think that the antler stick and scapula found in
graves would form a tool assemblage together, and wondering if some of
you have already met similar finds, know their role or significance, or any parallels. Thank you for
your comments and suggestions in advance!</span><span></span><br><br>With best wishes,<br>Erika Gal<br><div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
