Abstract :Located in the Yenişehir district of Bursa, Barcın Höyük is a 7th millennium BC settlement. Numerous bone tools and personal ornaments such as awls, spoons, spatulas, fishhooks, smoothers, pendants, and beads were found at Barcın Höyük. Reused tools and repairs make up a notable group within the bone industry. Among the tools with the most commonly reused group are typically spoon handles, which were converted into very different tools. Apart from this, it is seen that items such as awls, shuttles, and pendants were repaired and reused. All these practices give us the opportunity to gain insights into the lifestyles of prehistoric people.Keywords : Kemik Aletler, İkincil Kullanım, Geç Neolitik, Barcın Höyük, Kemik Kaşıklar .
