[Bonetools] Fwd: Medieval bone pin

[Christian Gates St-Pierre]

It definitely looks like it has been either burned by fire (but not calcinated) or sun burned. Even the curvature could have been partly induced or increased by heat.

 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
