[Bonetools] Vera Evison festschrift [and did she survive the recent Great Unpleasantness?]

[Martin Foreman]

Dear Ian
Hihowaya!

I wonder, and I know I've asked about this before, but:
Do you have a publication reference for my long, long ago and far far away contribution to a festschrift for Vera Evison, on Combs from Castledyke and Flixborough...?!?

And, cheekily, could you please bang a pdf of it my way?

I have part retired [3 day week FLO, on account of advancing age and decayed back], but would like to complete my CV entries on publications. The last copy I exhumed still had this piece as 'in prep' under your name [probably compiled in 2010 or thereabouts, from internal evidence.

I'm at the stage of chucking over past study interests to younger and brighter folk before mortality marches over me.
This is of course an opportunistic enquiry if ever there was!
With fond regards and all best wishes,
Martin

Hello Selena,

Fascinating object and very unusual too! We do have one example from an early Iron Age site at Linton in Cambridgeshire and I enclose that text here. Not well stratified unfortunately and thought to be made of whale bone, and the report mentions another one from All Cannings Cross, which would also be of early Iron Age date.

Hope this helps a little,

Ian Riddler

Hi, Petar,

No - no traces of Bronze Age.
But do you have any analogies?

Best, Selena

Hi, Selena!
Nice find indeed. Any chance that you may have Bronze age there?
Cheers, Petar

Dear colleagues,

I hope you are all doing fine.
I have an interesting find from the site of Remesiana, in southern Serbia. It looks like the tip of an arrow. The object was made from some large mammal long bone, upper part is fragmented and also in the basal part it is possible to see that the part used for inserting into the wooden part is fragmented as well.
Now, the main problem is that this find comes from disturbed context, so the excavators are uncertain whether this is from the Iron Age or from Late Antiquity.
Personally, I have never seen anything remotely resembling this, especially from the Iron Age or Antiquity - and the bone objects from the Iron Age in particular are virtually unknown in the area.

Any help with analogies, references, etc. is much appreciated.

thank you, kind regards, Selena
