[Bonetools] Bonetools Digest, Vol 32, Issue 15

[Sian]

Dear Christian and others,

The implement is similar to ones we have at the Bronze Age copper Mine in 
North Wales.  The ones we have are not manufactored as such but gain their 
shape from use during the ore extraction process.  Use-wear might reveal if 
the bone you have was also used for digging etc.

Sian
