[Bonetools] unknown object

[Bénédicte Khan]

There are very similar traces specifically on furniture mounts from earlier
periods, especially in Late Roman times, in the Mediterranean area (I've
seen them on objects in the South of France as in Jordan). They were, as
Christian and Nejma said, very likely used to increase the adhesion of the
bone on another surface. It is probable that these marks were used in the
same way later on. I agree with Ethan, it is likely to be mounts.

Kind regards,
Bénédicte
