[Bonetools] Any help ?

[Christopher Arabatzis]

Dear Selena,

Thank you. The preform also came up to me but I still can't find the final
form of it :- )

The two tips are not so well preserved - the one is broken as you can see
in the photo.The other one has some polish close to the edge of the tip. It
could be considered as use wear traces.

As for the two holes, maybe a wooden shaft was penetrating them and the
item was used laterally. It's just a guess.
