[Bonetools] Double-sided composite combs with paired connecting plates

["Renáta Přichystalová"]

Dear Ian,

yes, the kind of three-layer double-faced bone comb is well-known in
Central Europe from Roman period up to high Middle Ages.
I send You a part of my educatonial presentation (unfortunately in slovak
language) where are the examples of this kind of artifact with base
literature.
