[Bonetools] Fwd: Medieval bone pin

[Sonia O'Connor]

Could it have been burned?  Any chance you can get a sharp close-up of the cross-section at one of the breaks?

All the best,

Sonia

Dear all,
   I am forwarding this letter to the WBRG mailing list because Sian seems to have had trouble uploading the image - she welcomes any thoughts on this object.

Best,
Alice

Hi Alice,

Happy New Year!
Can you upload this photo of a Medieval bone pin found in a cairn in North Wales, UK to the WBRG bone tools group please?  I can't seem to do it myself.
I haven't seen the bone myself but the finder thought it was a pig fibular (which is common for everyday pins for this area in Medieval times) although it looks far to curved to be that to me.  Any thoughts greatfully recieved!
Thanks

Sian

Dr Sian James
