Abstrakt

Excavations on the Early Bronze Age fortified settlement in Maszkowice (Western Carpathians) carried out in 1959-1975 and 2010-2017 produced, among other finds, a collection of 56 artifacts made of bone, antler, teeth and horn. They were divided considering formal criteria (size, shape, decoration), as well as a character of use-wear traces into four types of ornaments (plaque, pendants, pins, dress items made of long bones) and seven types of tools (awls, perforators, spatulas, tanning tool, polishers, antler pick and hafted chopping tools). In the description of the types we focus on their functional interpretation, discussing some opinions already existing in the literature. In the final part of paper we analyze also a frequency of distinguished types in the different contexts as well as on the site in general.
