Drilled teeth and shell artefacts from a graveat Prague-Březiněves and a review of decorative artefacts made from animal material from Corded Ware culture in the Czech Republic

Dog size and variability in the Late Eneolithic: Drilled teeth from Corded Ware graves in Bohemia

“…Based on local data, the CWC currently dates to 2800–2500 BC (Dobeš & Limburský, 2013: 103–108; Neustupný, 2013) and in the Czech Republic is represented exclusively by burial finds. Drilled animal teeth in female and child burials are most commonly found in Bohemia—western Czech Republic—and central Germany (Kyselý et al, 2019). Large series forming a necklace or other decorations are often found in a single grave and dog teeth usually predominate.…”

“…The location of the Czech sites and information on the graves and the material used is shown in Figure 1, Table 1, and Kyselý et al (2019). As in Kyselý et al (2019), the graves in Table 1 are sorted by provenance to two subregions—central Bohemia and north‐western Bohemia—and typological groups.…”

As in Kyselý et al (2019), the graves in Table 1 are sorted by provenance to two subregions—central Bohemia and north‐western Bohemia—and typological groups. The latter are based on diagnostic ceramic considered chronologically sensitive (Category II–earlier, Category III–later; Buchvaldek, 1967, 1986).…”

An analysis of modified human teeth at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey

“…While the modification of human teeth for personal adornment in the Neolithic Near East has been -until now -completely undocumented, animal teeth were often modified for use as beads or pendants in prehistory (e.g. Kyselý et al 2019). The most common example is that of red deer canine teeth and imitations thereof, which are found throughout Europe and the Near East as early as the Upper Palaeolithic (Baines et al 2013;Bánffy 2008;Broglio et al 2004;Choyke 2001;Jeunesse 2002;Leroi-Gourhan 1968;Rainio and Mannermaa 2014).…”
