There is also a late roman group of antler containers from a grave near the
Civil Town of Aquincum which was published in a number of places including:
*Bone Objects in Aquincum.* Az Aquincum Múzeum Gyűjteménye 2. (The
Collections of the Aquincum Museum 2), Budapest, 97-98 (in catalogue).
Lorand Vass certainly has more details about this find as he has taken over
roman bone tool research at Aquincum.
