Processed cattle bones from Eneolithic cultures of Vučedol site (Croatia)
From a large sample of bones, teeth and horns from the Vučedol archaeological site, which belong to Eneolithic cultures, approximately 1.100 cattle remains were separated and analysed. Among those cattle remains, there is 6.45% (71 samples) of processed bone or bones with visible beginnings or traces in terms of tool manufacture. The most numerous are lower jaws (23 samples), all of which are modified in a similar way: the lateral and medial surface of the body of the mandible are smooth and shining, while behind last molar is a U or V shaped notch. All teeth are worn, and based on a very sharp occlusal area, it is certainly a question of an artificial wearing. Jaws processed in this way were probably used for scraping the subcutaneous tissue during skin processing. The traces of bone processing are visible on 10 metacarpal and 5 metatarsal bones, where treatment is in either early stage, or it is a question of waste from treatment process and therefore it can’t be certain for what purpose could they serve. Five ulnas were distally narrowed and formed into more obtuse or sharper spike and have probably served as an awl or even a larger needle.
