[Bonetools] mesolithic artefact

[Dave Constantine]

Dear Marina, 

Is it possibly a fish bone? Attached are a couple of pages discussing the possible use of Sturgeon bones for eating shellfish and the bones look rather like yours.

Regards,

David Constantine

Subject: [Bonetools] mesolithic artefact

Dear all,

I'm sending you two pictures of an artefact recovered from a mesolithic shellmidden site in Portugal. I believe it is made from mammal bone. Do you have/ know of similar objects? I have been searching for parallels and I didn't find it.
Thank you.

Best,


Marina Évora
