[Bonetools] Pegs?

[Kordula Gostencnik]

Dear Ariel,

those objects belong to belt buckles; the buckles themselves are more or
less D-shaped and those objects were fixed through its hole by means of a
small rod in bronze or iron. I have no idea, what the English term might be
- maybe Alice can help us with it. I had some of those among my early Roman
material from Magdalensberg/Austria; normally belt buckles were made from
bronze or iron, like our modern examples, but there are quite a lot also in
bone or antler. Sometimes they are identifies as amulets - which they were
definitely not.

Sincerely
Kordula Gostencnik
