[Bonetools] Fwd: toy sword?

[Jesper Ostergaard]

Perhaps not a toy sword; but rather a miniature version of a sword representing a real sword - in Bronze Age burial mounds in Denmark, and on other locations such knifes are commonly found, more importantly they are also made in bronze and have ornaments pf ships and abstract figures.

> We found this little bone knife/toy sword? (approx 10cm long) at Links of Noltland, Westray, Orkney this week. It came from within a Bronze Age structure c.3500 BP. We have seen nothing quite like it here before, maybe somebody in the group has?
