[Bonetools] Re : protohistoric object

[Marloes Rijkelijkhuizen]

Hi Benjamin
 
I couldn't see if it was flattened (before use). 
 
If used, it should be used for/on something with a flat surface, the surface is completely flat. (compare the medieval skates, these were used on ice and have a flat surface, but were sometimes flattened before use). If used for pottery the surface wouldn't be straight.
 
Best, Marloes

No, it isn't.
I send photo of another object where you can see more precisely the traces. Use wear area is the result of the use/exploitation of the flatest face of the phalanx, maybe with a kind of abrasion technique... The mophologic modification of the bone could be various but never very important.

Non, il ne s'agit pas de sciage. 
Je joins une photo d'un autre objet sur laquelle on voit plus précisément les stigmates. La zone d'usure est le résultat de l'utilisation ou de l'exploitation de la face la plus plate de la phalange, peut être en utilisant une technique d'abrasion... Ce degré d'usure peut varier mais il n'est jamais très important.

Est-il sûr qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un sciage ?

Would not be sawing traces ?

Hello !
Does anybody have an idea about the type or function of this object ? It's an young pig phalanx, with use wear traces on the internal face, covered by oblique striations. It comes from large protohistoric site (possible marketplace) of Toulouse, in the south of France (II-I° century BC). About 20 objects was found, a majority made of pig phalanxes (young or not) and only two made of bovid pahlanxes. Use wear is always located on the same face, with different use degree and some objetcs are perforated on the proximal face. We thought about a kind of smoother (in relation with potery ? metal ?) but objects are realy small and found in various contexts (more often in wells full of rubbish).
Thanks a lot and best regards
