Hallo,
this is not Mesolithic but Neolithic, around 3400 BC, but may be of
interest to you; Viscum was used e.g. as animal fodder, there is also a
list of Neolithic Viscum finds:
*Jacomet, Stefanie; Leuzinger, Urs; Schibler, Jörg (2004):* Die
jungsteinzeitliche Seeufersiedlung Arbon – Bleiche 3. Umwelt und
Wirtschaft. Archäologie im Thurgau 12. 458 S.
Regards, Stefanie Jacomet
