[Bonetools] unknown object

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Marloes,
    Can you say whether it was manufactured using metal tools - that would
at least eliminate the Mesolithic or Neolithic. Frankly, here in the
Carpathian Basin, nice neat holes like that only appear at the beginning of
our Late Bronze Age, around 1200 BC. Do the holes show any directional wear
which might be a clue to whether the little plaque could 'clap' .
