[Bonetools] Strasbourg bone items

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Delphin,
   We have some o2nd-3rd c. pins and cylindrical objects with just such
spiral patterns from Roman Aquincum  (Hungary). I will see what Maria Biro
reports . I also vaguely remember similar objects reported on by Etan Ayalon
from Caesarea. But I must check that as well unless Etan would like to come
to our rescue himself...

Best,
Alice
