Dear Isabelle, 



This looks like the objects we find in Neolithic and Bronze Age contexts in the Netherlands (and are also known from Bronze Age sites in the UK). They are interpreted as toggle buttons or ornamental objects. 

I can send you some more information (as well as pictures) if you wish! 

Very best, 

Jørn Zeiler

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
