[Bonetools] A Roman mount???

[Jose Fernández]

I am very surprised. This is my first participation in this site and in only
one day three of you have answered. It´s fantastic!!!

The piece was found last year in an official excavation in Italy,  but
nothing about it has been published. So, I don´t know if I can give you
details. (I have to ask  this to the manager).

I am researching bonetools at University and one of my tasks is cataloguing
some pieces. As I have little experience, I am not sure about this one. I
have read some publications* about this subject but I haven´t found any
similar piece.

Thanking you,

Jose Fernández
