[Bonetools] Strasbourg bone items

[delphine minni]

Dear colleagues,

Please find enclosed pictures of two bone artifacts recently discovered during
an excavation in Strasbourg (France).  The site is considered to be dated
somewhere 
between the Roman and Medieval periods (http://www.inrap.fr/archeologie-
preventive/Sites_archeologiques/p-2345-4_rue_Brulee.htm)

The view is that one of them (1223-3) is some sort of handle, however we have
been unable to locate anything comparable.  The spiral pattern suggests that it
comes from 
the Medieval period rather than Roman.

The second one (1106-14), we have absolutely no idea of what the item is, its
use and what period it lends itself toward.

 We would appreciate your comments regarding any of the above comments.

 Thank you for your time

 Regards

Minni Delphine
