Zooarchaeological and the studies of osseous artefacts: where one ends and another begins?
The borders between subdisciplines and disciplines should be blurred in modern scientific research, and interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are more and more encouraged in all scientific fields, both of natural sciences and humanities. However, mutual relations and interconnections of diverse fields of research are much more complex in practice, as every discipline has not only different goals but very often also completely different methods and even worldviews. In this paper, we will analyse the relations between zooarchaeological and the studies of osseous artefacts. Osseous artefacts are sometimes completely separated from zooarchaeology and beautiful, complete objects are analysed from morphological viewpoint, while manufacture debris remains unrecognized in the faunal assemblage. Purely zooarchaeological analysis cannot yield information on technology, usage, typology, nor relations of osseous industry with other industries and production of other objects (stone, ceramic...). Complementary analyses are also important for the exact and precise identification and interpretation of every trace that may be found on bones.

In the last two decades, Slovenian archaeology benefited financially from the potential derived from large-scale infrastructure projects and increased dramatically the number of analyses performed using methods derived from natural sciences – especially increased the number of radiocarbon dates. In the same period, several research projects were conducted with the intention to supplement and interpret the opportunistically collected data. In several instances the results missed the explanatory potential of absolute dating – the results exposed the conceptual problems behind the forceful conjunction of research methods coming from natural sciences and humanities. This became dramatically evident on the epistemological level of archaeological interpretation – the use of radiocarbon dating, instead of solving several archaeological questions, created new problems. This paper will expose several examples where deeply rooted archaeological assumptions, combined with a superficial reading of data, caused manipulation with data and influenced interpretations. Presented will be cases where a planned strategy of radiocarbon dating enabled the authors to formulate a new interpretation of archaeological data, but also cases where the authors, despite the results of dating, arranged the data to support the previous (traditional) knowledge.
