[PUTELAT Olivier]

Dear colleagues, we found on a settlement (Menetru-le-Vignoble, France, Jura, 5th AD), in a very small antler workshop, this antler artefact (photos attached). The dimensions are as follows: 
 
- length 45 mm
 
- width 44 mm 
 
- thickness: 1.5 mm 
 
- diameter holes: 1.5 mm 
 
Does somebody have an idea of the possible function of this object? 
Mac Gregor (Mac Gregor 1999 at Cuppergate, York, period 4 B, 930-975 AD, p. 1876 & 1969) identifies the type of object as a weaving tablet. 
Does somebody have an another idea of the possible function of this object? 
 
Thanks in advance. Sincerely yours. OP.
