Fără context, fără relevanță? Descoperiri neo-eneolitice de artefacte din materii osoase conservate în colecțiile Muzeului Municipiului București
Out of context, out of mind? The Neo-Eneolithic discoveries of bone artifacts preserved in the collections of the Bucharest Municipality Museum

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the assemblage of artifacts made from osseous materials which are part of the collections of the Bucharest Municipality Museum. For these artifacts, we can assume a Neo-Eneolithic chronological age but the data on the archaeological site of origin was lost. An assemblage of 38 pieces was analyzed of which 26 are made of bone, 5 of antler, 6 of valve and 1 of tooth. These are generally finished, illustrating a selection of archaeological material. Original sequences of raw material transformation and the analysis of the use-wear and technological traces led us to try to reconstruct a behavioral model of the way raw material was acquired, processing techniques and activities developed with them.
