[Bonetools] (Fwd) [ZOOARCH] Use animal bones in mosaic works

[h13017cho at helka.iif.hu]

Dear colleagues,
    This is a posting from the Zooarch mialing list  - I would be curious to hear 
from other people who have seen mosaic floors from Late Antique or 
Byzantine contexts. I think these objects sound too small to be gaming piece 
or tokens. Please respond back to the list so we can all see your ideas and I 
will forward the mail to Mohannad as well.

Best,
Alice
Dear all,Hi!
I am working on a worked animal bone 
assemblage from a Byzantine church context. 
Round bone objects could be reconstructed from 
the bone refuse, with diameters and heights of ca 
0.5-1 cm.

i am wondering please about the possibility of 
their (round bone objects)use as mosaic building 
materials.

i'll be most grateful to any note regarding to this 
subject.

With my warmest regards and thanks in advance.
