a) There are two highly polished and decorated bridle cheek bits frequently described in the literature on the Hungarian Bronze age. There are four ant­ler tine fragments which appear to be blanks for bridle cheek bits. The two finished pieces are numbers 6913 and 6912. The blanks are numbers 7270, 7254, 7253, and 7252. (Pic. 6913, 6912) b) A highly modified ornament or tool with polish overall, no striations or working end and a groove carved out around its middle. The surface has broken off one half of one side. There is one speci­men, number 6252. c) A highly manufacture-modified antler cylinder with evidence of smoothing and flaking of its surface. There is one specimen, number 6258. The high degree of modification as well as the lack of a working end indicates that it may be a blank for an ornamental piece of some kind. (Pic. 6258). d) A partially smoothed but unfinished antler frag­ment with an incised meander design on one sur­face. There is one specimen number 6213. Ossified material A third material category is that of ossified material which is somewhat harder than antler and comes in a greater variety of natural preforms. Since bone hard­ness does not vary significantly between bone parts, tool catagories here will be broken down more by morphological and, in some cases, size attributes. Size, in this case, is a species rather than an age de­pendent attribute. Large Ungulate Ribs and some larger bones. These 29 tools are used with a back and forth move­ments as some kind of scraper or burnisher. They all share the following attributes : 1. The bone has been cut or worn down on one side of the working end to form a thinner working sur­face. 2. The bone has been crudely broken to a manageable length. In the case of rib tools this breakage occurs nearer the distal end of the bone. Only one rib still has the epiphysis attached. 3. The striations generally run parallel to the length of the working edge. The striations are heaviest on the inner bone surface where the material is softer and more easily worn away. Only two large ribs show striations running perpendicular to the length of the working edge as well. The 28 pieces include numbers 6245, 6244, 6185, and 6175 for the long bone burnishers; numbers 7250, L6
