[Bonetools] shuttle again-3

[Sonia O'Connor]

It all looks like horn to me.  The dark material is clearly very layered. What is it that makes you think antler is involved?

Thanks, Sonia. I guess the dark material between the two bright sides is antler?

Thanks you for the images.  This shuttle is definitely made in horn. I can't say if it is cattle or sheep/goat without microscopy but it does seem quite thick so I suspect it is cattle.



All the best,



Sonia
