[Bonetools] odd antler object

[Selena Vitezovic]

Hello, everyone,

Two almost identical pieces were found  on Roman castrum Diana-Karataš in
the Iron Gates, also dated into 6th century AD, and were intepreted as
hafts.They are published in Sofija Petković' book, "Rimski predmeti od
kosti i roga sa teritorije Gornje Mezije" (The Roman items of bone and
antler from the territory of Upper Moesia - 1995), t. XXXVI /4 and 5. It
also says "no known analogies".

best, Selena
