[Bonetools] bone artefact from Wrocław - microphotographs

[Bernadeta Kufel-Diakowska]

Unfortunately I cannot make any cuts on the right black part of the
artefact. But I attach microphotographs of the surface, taken both in the
middle and in the area of right end. It seems that there is any coating and
the black something is something else (birch bark tar was in use in the
Middle Ages in this region). As you can see the entire surface is highly
polished and all edges are heavily rounded, apart from the surface of
"negatives" on the right black end - there are scraping/whittling? traces
perpendicular to the main axis of the artefact, but only on one side.

Best,

Bernadeta
