[Bonetools] Drilled red deer antlers

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Noelle,
   what kind of contexts were these objects found in: in houses,
outbuildings pits etc. Does their surface suggest they fell off something
after site abandonment or were they buried quickly. That might give a hint
about how they were used. They must be very frustating objects to study
because they look like they were very useful, common and obvious things.Any
people out there with Celtic or early medieval analogies out there?
