Abstract
A possible sickle haft made from a deer antler was found at a major \nNeolithic site recently excavated in the Iberian Peninsula: Costamar \n(Castellón, Spain) (Fig. 1: 1). Here, an overview of the site is followed by a morphological and technological characterisation of the lithic tools found in the early Neolithic levels and structures, concluding with a description of the antler haft and its parallels with other hafts and sickle types found at sites in Iberia.
