abstract = "The Neolithic period is marked with numerous and dramatic changes in all aspects of life. Changes in subsistence, namely domestication of plants and animals and introduction of agriculture and animal herding, are the most important, but not the only changes; different mode of subsistence affected different aspects of daily life – shelter making, tool production, technologies, as well as the perception of the environment, and many more.
In this paper, traditions, changes and innovations will be analysed among osseous industries in the South-Eastern Europe within the Early Neolithic Starčevo and the Late Neolithic Vinča culture. Osseous industries went through considerable changes in the Neolithic: introduction of domestic animals brought in modifications in raw material choices and methods of acquiring; changes in economy – new crafts and new activities, which influenced the typological repertoire. Furthermore, we may note some new manufacturing techniques, connected with changes in lithic industries, such as introduction and wider use of abrasion techniques. Finally, we may observe differences in the cultural attitude towards these raw materials – they are no longer used for the figurines, objects of art, etc., although they remain the most important raw materials for personal ornaments.",
