<p class="MsoNormal">There are Chalcolithic examples of bone/ antler projectile points in Hungary from both Transdanubia and the Great Hungarian Plain. If you are interested I can send you pictures. Other than that, as far as I remember, only the Mongols used
bone projectile points willingly. Outside Hungary there are many projectile points in bone and antler from Lake Dwelling sites across the alpine region. Petar - There is nothing like that from any phase of the Hungarian Bronze Age.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I have an interesting find from the site of Remesiana, in southern Serbia. It looks like the tip of an arrow. The object was made from some large mammal long bone, upper part is fragmented and
also in the basal part it is possible to see that the part used for inserting into the wooden part is fragmented as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now, the main problem is that this find comes from disturbed context, so the excavators are uncertain whether this is from the Iron Age or from Late Antiquity. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
