New insights on antler technology from Vučedol – Kukuruzište Streim

The technology of processing hard animal material is an important segment in the study of prehistoric societies. This paper’s main focus is on the exploitation of hard animal material, especially antlers from the Vučedol eponymous site (Late Copper Age). It deals with antlers as raw material, as well with the osseous industry of Vučedol culture, more specifically with its manufacturing technology. Findings from both old and recent excavations show well-known manufacturing techniques of processing osseous material. Interestingly, findings from recent excavations at Vučedol - Kukuruzište Streim show new elements in the manufacturing process – use of metal tools.
