[Bonetools] WBRG website updates November 2021

[Hans Christian Küchelmann]

Dear Ian,

thanks for the details about the Ely artefacts. I have updated the post and added Louisa Gidney’s article as reference. 

The artefact you sent yesterday reminds me of Roman toilet tools. See below a replica made by Monica Tielens (https://bikkelenbeen.com/nl/producten/Categorie/Persoonlijke+verzorging+VI/Toiletsetje/?artikelnummer=565&pagina=5 <https://bikkelenbeen.com/nl/producten/Categorie/Persoonlijke+verzorging+VI/Toiletsetje/?artikelnummer=565&pagina=5>). I would have to check for find locations of originals, but I know there are several of these from different places.

Best wishes

Christian

> This month’s bonetools are very well known, of course: they are bone raps from a site at Ely in Cambridgeshire. The object type has been very well discussed by Louisa Gidney: Bone artefacts from medieval and post-medieval windmills: changing interpretations, in S. Vitezović, Close to the Bone: Current Studies in Bone Technologies, Belgrade (Belgrade Institute of Archaeology) 2016, 128-132.

The basal part includes accreted material, which has yet to be analysed. It means that the point was probably just 12mm in length. It has been cut from a midshaft, possibly of bird bone. It is the sort of object that may only emerge from sieving and I wonder if anybody has seen another one of this type and size?
