[Bonetools] Fw: Bone items from Conisbrough Castle

["Renáta Přichystalová"]

Dear Mr. Riddler,

I think that this artefacts were used like small plates which served as
decorative cladding of something - for example box, furniture,
interior-ornament etc.
As an example I send You a picture from book: Kokabi - Schlenker - Wahl
1996: "Knochenarbeit". Artefakte aus tierischen Rohstoffen im Wandel der
Zeit. Saalburg-Schriften 4.

With best regards
