[Bonetools] [ZOOARCH] Victorian worked bone

[Alice Choyke]

Dear  Lizzie,
       Some of the people on the bone tool list are NOT on the
zooarchaeology page. So Make sure you send the e-mail to the bone tool list
with images attached. We are a small group so attachments are not
particularly bothering. All the pieces you showed look like bone (as
opposed to ivory or antler). I have a feeling some of the pieces may
actually be waste from manufacturing. The disk could easily be part of a
more complex object.

Send the e-mail inquiry to:
bonetools at listserv.niif.hu

Best,
Alice
