[Bonetools] object 16/17th c

[Steven Ashby]

Hi Marloes,

Is this the same object you showed me earlier?  I didn't realise it
had the cuts on it.  I'm now more convinced that this is a piece of
horn and bone comb (my type 4).  It's the right dimensions too.  If I
found this in a 10th-12th C context in an English town, I would have
absolutely no doubt.  Is there any chance it could be residual?
