Choyke, A. M.: The exploitation of red deer in the Hungarian Bronze Age = Archaeozoologia 1(1), Bordeaux (1987) 109-116. Within the exploitation of red deer, the use of antler played an important role in the Carpathian Basin. The author discusses the alternative sources of hunted and shed (i.e. gathered) antler in the manufacturing of Bronze Age antler artifacts. Choyke, A. M.: Modified animal bone = In Gabler D. ed.: The Roman fort of AcsVaspuszta (Hungary) on the Danubian limes. Part i. British Archaeological Reports, British Series 53 ti, Oxford (1989) 624-632. By the end of Prehistoric times, animal bone as raw material had lost most of its significance. Never the less, a number of bone artifacts were used at This military outpost in the wake of the Roman Period in the province of Pannónia. Choyke, A. M.: Travail de l'os et de l'ivoire á Kerma = In С Bonnet ed.: Кета, royaume de Nubie. Mission archéologique de l'Université de Genève au Soudan, Genève (1990) 140-141. Bone tools, especially small ruminant metapodial "awls" have not only been used in Europe and Southwest Asia. They commonly occurred at This prehistoric site in Africa as well. Due to the recovery of a well preserved piece of leather, one of their functions as perforators in making sandals could also be identified. Choyke, A. M., Bartosiewicz L.: íjmaradványok Hódmezővásárhely - Nagysziget honfoglaláskori temetőjének 63. sírjából (Bow remains from Grave 63 at the Hungarian Conquest Period cemetery of Hódmezővásárhely - Nagysziget) = Com. Arch. Hung. 1986, Budapest (1986) 253-262. Bone and antler plates were commonly used in making ears and handles for reflex bows. The functionally determined size of These pieces was exploited in the metric reconstruction of what must have been a rather long bow enterred in the burial discussed in the study. Choyke, A. M., Bartosiewicz L.: Angling with bone = In W. Van Neer ed.: Fish exploitation in the past. Koninklijk Museum voor Midden Afrika, Annalen, Zoologische Wetenschappen Vol. 274 (1994) 177-182. Fishermen's angles carved out of mammalian bone and boar tusk frequently occur at Neolithic sites in Central and Eastern Europe. In This paper, however, two unusual, Late Neolithic hooks (from Western Switzerland), prepared from pike dentalia are presented. They were cut out of the bone by retaining the large, aboral teeth. The possible functional similarity of This form to primitive thorn angles known from the ethnographic literature is also discussed. Choyke, A.
