[Bonetools] Ring and dot tools

[David Constantine]

Thanks to everyone for the replies so far. Just a bit of clarification about what I am looking for as I maybe didn't make it very clear. The Ring and dot patterns are made with a 3 (or more for concentric circles) pronged tool, two of which have been found from Early Med contexts in the Czech Republic, I am specifically looking for any evidence of other metal ring and dot tools from the Early Med in Europe.

@Pam - I replicate and demonstrate making replica Early Medieval artefacts of bone, antler and horn. So I have processed quite a few bones and skeletons for that, and I also supply institutions and individuals with skeletons as well through my father's business (Bodies to Bones).

Hi David (again)
the comment about prep'ing skeletons and making bone artefacts was intriguing. What sort of preping, skel's, artefacts? The zooarch in me is very interested!

cheers

  I am currently researching Early Medieval bone working and despite the prevalence of Ring-and-dot motifs on artefacts, I can find only two examples of the tools themselves having been found (Stare Mesto and Levy Hradec, both in MacGregor "Bone, Antler, Ivory and Horn") and would like to know if anyone has come across similar tools anywhere between about 500-1100AD.
