[Bonetools] ‏השב: Iron age artefact

[איתן איילון]

It may be a flute as Marta did mention 2 holes. In a 1st century BCE burial cave in Jerusalem, Israel part of a flute was found with a bronze "ring" on it. It was published by Gershuny and Zissu in Atiqot XXX 1996 p. 57*. I'll be a le to send a scanned drawing in several days.

Dear Marta,
    I am not sure of the function but vulture ulna screams flute (or part of a pipe) to me despite the lack of holes...

Dear colleagues,
I am studying worked bone objects from La Seña, an Iberian site (Valencia, Spain) (6th century – 2nd century BC). I am not sure about the function of one artefact. It has been made from an ulna of a vulture. It is cut in both end parts and it is polished. In one of the end part has a little iron ribet located between two holes.
In the Iberian record I only know two artefacts like this. Does anyone have any suggestions about its use or know any parallels?
I send you some images.
Thank you very much
