[Bonetools] Drilled red deer antlers

[François Poplin]

Je retrouve ces messages sur cet objet en cherchant autre chose.

Les trous sont-ils vraiment "drilled" (c'est-à-dire cylindriques) ? Il 
ne me semble pas - mais sans l'objet en main...

Des liens/cordes ont pu user la paroi et les bords des trous : l'usure 
est elle répartie tout autour, ou au contraire concentrée en certains 
points du pourtour ? N'y aurait-il pas opposition de sens entre l'usure 
du trou du milieu et ceux des extrémités ?

L'usure se développe-t-elle de la même façon sur les deux faces, ou bien 
non, ou peu, sur la face de sciage ?

Bien à vous.
