[Bonetools] bone with holes

[François Poplin]

That night came the idea of checking both sides to see whether there is 
a correspondance in "rythm" of the holes. Can you tell me if the end on 
the left is the same on both figures : has the bone fragment inbetween 
been rolled around its long axis, or turned "end for end" ?

Do you agree that one can see through on view 2, at 8,5 cm, as I 
previously wrote ?

For the question "femur", it happened to me to have to correct the 
determination of such a tube shaped fragment which was described as part 
of a human femur from Magdalenian time at Abri Pataud (it was reindeer) :

POPLIN F. et BILLY G., 1978 - A propos d'un fragment de fémur recueilli 
à l'Abri Pataud (Dordogne). /L'Anthropologie/, 82, 451-454.

Your's.
