[Bonetools] smoothed horse radius

[Haskel Greenfield]

I have a similar one to the one described above by Selena from a site in central Serbia that was excavated in 1977. It is a equid radius. I believe it is from the iron age also, I would have to check my notes. Especially still in my laboratory in Winnipeg. maybe it's time we collated and published all these together.

Dear Silvia,

These artefacts were widespread even outside the immediate Alpine area; the example on the photo below is from an Early Iron Age site in Bosnia and Herzegovina, called Gornja Dolina. This one is the best preserved, but it's not the only one. It's not published - yet (we're working on it), but I can provide you more information if you need.

best regards to everyone,
Selena

Objet: [Bonetools] smoothed horse radius

Dear all,

during the study of an Iron Age fauna in Bressanone (Bolzano, Italy) for my PhD research I found a proximal of horse radius (which I am attaching in two photos with different angles so that I can better appreciate its characteristics) with a smooth back face, shiny to the touch and view.
There are some traces of processing on the sides, while the smoothed back has light and rare scratches horizontally.

From the bibliography that I have read and which was also indicated to me by Mr. Küchelmann, whom I thank again, would seem to be a skate/sledge runner.

if you agree with this opinion, is anyone aware of the findings of skates/sledges in the Alps dating back to the Iron Age-Latène period?
From what I have found there would be a horse metatarsal from Prellenkirchen, Leitha-Marsch, Austria, dated to the late Latène but I do not think it has been published yet.

Thank you all!
Silvia Eccher
