[Bonetools] Chelms Combe whistle

[cho13017 at iif.hu]

Dear Abby,
     It look pretty dubious to me whistle-wise. Otherwise, of course, I wouldn't
have a clue whereto lookfor it unless you check back with the excavating
archaeologist or his/her descendents. Special finds in the old daysin Hungary
used to have  a way of disappearing into desk drawers for further study...

Best,
Alice Choyke
