Unfortunately, the osseous industry in the Eneolithic period is not very well studied in particular for the area of the South Carpathian basin and the Balkans analysed assemblages are only few, and the synthetic studies are almost non-existing. Although their role changed with the introduction of the new raw materials, especially with the development of the metallurgy, they were in the later prehistoric periods still used for production of a variety of artefacts – everyday tools, weapons, as well as decorative and non-utilitarian items.
Osseous raw materials were very important throughout prehistory, since the Lower Palaeolithic.
