[Bonetools] Strange objects

[Etan Ayalon]

The idea of making small depressions in order to better let through the heat is known from pottery baking trays of Iron Age (12th-8/7th century BCE) Israel. They were used to bake flat bread (Arabic pitta or perhaps also Jewish matzah?).

It looks to me like baffle brick (for stoves) that was water worn along natural breaks...Except for the little ticked rim ceramic on the bottom row- that looks like something different.

	Dear colleagues,

	     These objects were found in Bavaria. they are not bone but I am hoping someone can tell Cathy Barbash (a friend of a friend of Sandra Olsen) what the heck they are. The definitely look 'historic' to me given the precision they are made with but what do I know?

	 

	Best,

	Alice
