[Bonetools] Any idea about this function of this artifact ?

[Christopher Arabatzis]

Dear all and Petar
Thank you for your ideas and for your time.

Petar,
I'm glad that I helped you to choose the topic of your presentation.
I'm attaching one more photo of a similar artifact found close to the
previous one.
It's nice to hear that you have seen other similar items in the Balkans !

Chris
