[Bonetools] Medieval Italian comb

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Marta,
    If you go to the WBRG.net references and search for combs you will find
a pretty long list of Steve Ashby's work and generally about early medieval
combs from Northern Europe. There are many combs of this type from
so-called Migration period burials and settlements in Hungary and beyond
but very little of this material is published in English of course. Such
double-sided composite combs are really everywhere in early medieval
continental Europe at least - but again not masses of references in
English. Most of the Hungarian combs are definitely antler.and may be
single-sided and double sided with differences in decorative motif.
