A ritual “hoard” discovered at Ivanovskoe III site (Yaroslavl’ region) is examined. Among other items the “hoard” includes a retoucher consisting of
a wooden handle and a slim stem of horn. No similar wooden handles are known, though some handles made of horn were found in other settlements. The “hoard” can be dated back to the final stage of the Volosovo culture.
