Is that the original hafting to the point? If it is that is quite rewarding to find it still intact.

the shaft of the point is a reconstruction, I could not find a single piece of wooden objects.

animal or vegetable fibers?
ever find any?

Bill

I think vegetable fibers. It is not possible to find samples of vegetable fiber threads. They decompose completely.

the markings on the whorls are different, replicated on any pottery fragments?

have seen in other areas impressions of fabric that was long decomposed, would your excavations reveal such?

In my collection there are 8 whole pieces (spindle whorl ) and 4 fragments. The ornament on all samples is different, not repetitive.
I will show all the items.
According to my data, in the early 80s of the last century, archaeologists managed to find in the Neolithic settlement in the “Devil's Gate” cave fragments of cloth, a fishing net and a rope of plant fibers.
This cave is located at a distance from Zaysanovka - 700 km.
