Sažetak
The holdings of the Museum of Slavonia in Osijek keep a large number of Roman bone objects which are part of the Collection of Roman Bone Objects. The Collection consists of more than 800 objects which include various types of needles, pins, cosmetic implements, dice, tokens, spoons, combs, knife handles and other types of handles, weaving equipment, diferent decorative rings and plaques, writing tablets, parts of furniture etc. Due to the lack of archeological context, the analysis relies on a general chronological framework of certain types. The Collection also holds a dozen of semi-inished products and raw materials (bovine and goat horns and antlers). This paper deals with chaîne opératoire during the manufacturing process of certain types of objects, such as needles, pins or parts of furniture. Although a bone workshop has not been archaeologically conirmed in Mursa (Osijek), both the great number of bone objects from the old Museum holdings and various bone objects recently found in archaeological excavations in the Mursa area put forward a hypothesis about the existence of local workshops in Mursa.
