[Bonetools] antler whistles?

[איתן איילון]

Dear Sonja,
Assuming the missing end was solid, it more looks as a needle-like working tool, used for weaving, tying, etc., with a hole for tying a string, fiber or thin band.
Happy New Year

Subject: [Bonetools] antler whistles?

Dear colleagues,

By analyzing animal bones from the Roman city Viminacium I came across several interesting antler objects that my colleague and I argue that were used as whistles. While I was searching through papers, I have found barely several similar objects (and majority of them were not determined as being whistles). I have also contacted some of you for an advice on the subject. So, I am now asking entire group - do you know any published similar antler whistles (not only Roman)?! I am attaching a photo of one of them.

Thank you,

best wishes, Marry Christmas & Happy New Year,

Sonja.
