[Bonetools] Bone whistle?

[Haskel Greenfield]

I would agree with Alice here. It seems to be some kind of cap for something.

One more thought - the middle BA in Hungary really does see the common introduction of holes to fix materials like leather in handles - maybe this is something like that. In that case it might be useful to look at polishes inside the object cavity and around the hole.

Dear all,
Does somebody know this type of artefact made on caprine's long bone, found in the East of France, and which dates of the middle Bronze Age? Could it be a whistle? Are whistles common in european Bronze Age? I am thinking also at a hinge. Is this could be a hinge? Are there any hinge identified in Bronze Age?
Any else idea of the function of such an artefact?
Thank you very much for your answers
Best wishes
Isabelle
