| Summary: | This paper presents avian bone artefacts from settlements in Hungary and Romania, which fall into two categories: 1, new fi nds, never studied before; 2, previously known specimens that have not yet been thoroughly analysed from an archaeo-ornithological point of view. The age of these artefacts ranges from the Palaeolithic to the Turkish Period. The function of the objects was diverse: pipes, fl utes, tubes, utensils, pendants and decorative items were made from the hollow long bones and talons of white pelican (Pelecanus cf. onocrotalus), stork (Ciconia sp. indet.), spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia), greylag goose (Anser anser) and domestic goose (A. domesticus), white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), crane (Grus grus) and eagle owl (Bubo bubo). |
