[Bonetools] Fwd: more mysteries

[François Poplin]

May I build a syllogism ?

1°)* Late Bronze Age* from near Nyíregyháza  : do you have in that 
region what we call "hache à douille du Bronze final" in french/France 
and farther East ?

2°) *they are sharpened* at the diaphyseal part, *have a hole at the 
epiphysis *: just as these "haches à douille"

/ergo /(= conclusion) : they are bone replicas of that type of bronze axe.

Avec mes meilleures pensées.
