[Bonetools] bone tool of the month

[Anne Brundle]

Hi Alice,

 

Many apologies, here is a comb that is interesting me at the moment. It
is from the broch at Howe in Stromness, and is described as 'found in
ditch deposits' dating to the early centuries AD (Ballin Smith (ed)
1994, 177). This is one of three single-sided one-piece combs in the
Orkney Museum (as distinct from miniatures), but this one has a very
very close parallel from Kettleburn in Caithness, and I'm wondering how
many more there may be. 

 

If anyone is interested, the full excavation report for Howe is
available online thanks to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland 
http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/library/psas/monograph09.cfm , and the
comb's catalogue number is HH 4907.

 

Best wishes

Anne

Dear colleagues,
      I am still waiting for all those amazing pictures of bone tool of
the month for 2010. I need twelve and at the moment only two of you have
responded with any pictures. It can be an all Hungarian year but that
would be a pity.

Alice
