Hello<br>
<br>
Totally agree with Eva... and Jean Marc ! To bring a complement
concerning the Mesolithic of the south of France, we know this kind
of object ("mattock-head") on deer antlers, of which one of the best
preserved specimens has been found on the site of Cuzoul de Gramat
(see picture in attachment). On this object, the perforation was
made at the junction between the beam and the central antler. Were
you able to determine the location in the antler of your object? And
what is the morphology of the area located in the distal part of
your object, right edge? Seen from this angle, it looks like a
groove section...<br>
<br>
Best<br>

<div>Dear Imola,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for providing the pictures. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your piece looks to me as the back side of a broken (or
reworked) Mattock-head (Early Mesolithic)</div>
<div>from a large cervid antler (red deer or elk) as it shows an
osseous tissues which the cortical ring is cleary delimited
around the spongy core. Perforation technique is also
remarkable.<br>
</div>
<div>Will try to provide with some litterature when it will be
possible to work back at the office.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this will be of some help,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards, éva</div>
