[Bonetools] Is this part of a funerary couch ?

[Ian Riddler]

Dear Group,

I enclose here an image of a recent find from Northamptonshire in England. It looks to me as if it is part of an early Roman funerary couch or bed, as discussed by J- C. Beal and Chiara Bianchi, amongst others. I wonder if anybody would agree with this interpretation ! If so, it could well be the northernmost example from the Roman Empire,

Any thoughts very welcome,

Ian Riddler
