Dear David and mystery Iron Age archaeologist,
First of all, your BONE pin looks like ANTLER to me. I have a small antler pin from a
completely different time and place which is almost certainly a spindle. However, if the
surface is so worn (typical for antler) then it will be impossible to tell unless the context is
somehow suggestive. However, I also admit I know very little about Iron Age bone and antler
working in the Carpathian Basin. Karl perhaps has seen something similar in Austria?
