[Bonetools] bone objects

[S O'Connor]

Thanks Marloes.  I guess this means that you have now seen this one
yourself.  It is a shame the data in the 1987 publication is wrong. 

 

The ones I have mentioned were examined by me and the visible structures
left no doubt about the identifications.

Dear all,
 
The one pictured in Van Vilsteren is made of bone, not of walrusivory. 
 
Best wishes, Marloes

Dear Etan,

 

When you sent the photo of the rings I wondered about the size of the larger
ring as it seemed rather big to be turned from a transverse section of
longbone .  The smaller disks are clearly bone but I was wondering if the
ring was ivory.  I have seen these in elephant ivory and the one in the
paper Heidi sent is also ivory, possibly walrus ivory.  Unfortunately I
cannot see any structures in your image of the large ring when I zoom in.
Do you have any other photo's that might show this?

Thanks, Marloes. You are right about the large ring, of course, but what
about the small rings?

Yes, these are all parts of a baby's comforter/pacifier!
 
Found in Amsterdam dated to the 19th/20th century (with the rubber parts
which are missing here)
 
Best wishes,
Marloes

Dear all,

Here are some bone rings found in Jaffa, Israel by the Israel Antiquities
Authority in a context of - probably - the beginning of the 20th century. In
that time Palestine was already rather modernized, especially a port city
like Jaffa. The objects could have been imported, mainly the large ring.

Does anyone have any idea about the use of these rings, any parallels?

Etan
