[Bonetools] Unknown object of Seviac (Southwestern France), Roman-Late Roman period

[Sabine Deschler-Erb]

Bonjour
C'est probablement la moitié d'un manche de couteau. Dans la rainure à 
l'intérieur de l'objet était fixé le gond (?) en fer du couteau. C'est 
pourquoi la couleur rouge. Le même objet a été trouvé à Augusta Raurica 
(S. Deschler-Erb, Römische Beinartefakte aus Augusta Raurica. Augst 
1998, p.359, Tafel 7, objet no.91).

Bonne journée
Sabine Deschler-Erb
