I’ve noticed clear rounding of the tips of the artefacts. Would it be<br>
possible that it is the result of use? I’ve analyzed a similar<br>
artefact (only longer, what is perhaps important here) from Corded<br>
Ware Grave from Biržai (Lithuania – photo attached), that was used as<br>
a kind of grinder/pounder. Similar artefacts are known also from other<br>
graves of this culture (for example Krasnasieĺski, Bielarus – photo<br>
attached). They ware also primary considered to be needles.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
I hope you're all doing fine.<br>
<br>
I have several strange objects from a Vučedol culture (final Chalcolithic /<br>
early Bronze Age) site in Pannonia - 2 on photos in attachment. They are<br>
all in shape of thin, short rods, they are complete, so they are not broken<br>
pins or needles. Some are made from bone, some from antler, some have<br>
incisions, some are just polsihed.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts?<br>
<br>
thank you!<br>
<br>
best regards,<br>
Selena<br>
