[Bonetools] caput object

[Griffitts, Janet L - (griffitt)]

It reminds me of the cancellous bone hide grainers used on the Northern North American Plains.  I've attached a brief article that describes their use that has some nice drawings, and a rather low quality scan that I made of a slide of some of the abraders from the mid-late 19th c Deapolis site years ago before I had access to a decent slide scanner.  I have photos of the wear on some of these tools if that would be helpful.

Subject: [Bonetools] caput object

Dear all,

Does anyone know any parallells or suggestions for the use of this object? It is a chopped of caput with a big area of intensive use wear. It is not precisely dated, but it is (early) medieval. From the same context a second one has been recovered.

Thanks for your help,

Marloes
