During the excavation in 1962 in Yanik Tepe in eastern Azerbaijan, Iran, a small bone object from the Neolithic deposits was found. In his brief report, Charles Burney identified this object as a pendant. The similarity of this object with today’s glasses has caused some misinterpretation about the function of this object in recent years. In this article, with a detailed microscopic study of this object from an interdisciplinary perspective (archaeology and paleozoology) and comparing it with other known examples in other parts of the world, a more detailed examination of this object is carried out. Furthermore, we proposed possible functions of this object based on our comparisons and the characteristics of the object itself. The results of this research demonstrate that this bone object probably had a decorative function.
