Sažetak
In recent years several systematic archaeological excavations of early medieval sites in northern Croatian territory were conducted. In some structures bone tools were found, mostly made of hollowed sheep or goat tibiae bones, pointed at one side. In scientific literature these objects are mostly known as bone awls or rarely as bone thatching needles. Apart from this group of objects, made of hollow bones pointed at one end and sometimes perforated at the other, wider end in order to allow thatching fibres, a flat object with a sharp tip on one side was found. The first group of objects was probably in daily use as a tool for thatching wicker, straw and other fibres, and possibly as an awl, while the object with clear traces of use on the top, was only used as an awl. A similar, slightly smaller bone object found as a grave good indicates a possible spiritual aspect of these objects during the early Middle Ages. Although relatively rarely represented among early mediaeval finds in northern Croatia, bone tools found enabled their clear division into two groups considering the external features and the primary usage in everyday life. Consequently, in order to distinguish them terminologically, the term "bone thatching needles" is proposed for the first group of objects and "bone awl" for the second.
