<DIV>Dear Dave,</DIV>
<DIV> Circle and dot decoration is used
continuously in the Carpathian Basin from the Neolithic up to the Middle Ages
which here officially begins in the 10th century. Otherwise, it is more like
seeing spots everywhere - especially on antler combs, and antler containers. I
can look around for images and send you part of a dissertaion (sadly for you
in Hungarian but (as I recall with some images) which discusses Avar bone
tools in Transdanubia. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV>Alice</DIV>

<DIV>PS One of our conservators has worked out how to produce circle and dot
and variens of the motif. There is an english translation. The catalogue of
the Aquincum bone tools (1st-5th c. with lots of input from Germanic tribes by
that time and the Sarmations/Quads on the Eastern side of the
Danube ) will come out in September. with some examples of circle
and dot decorations, mostly on antler.<BR></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
