[Bonetools] [Spam:] Special Volume in Heritage journal on worked bone issues

[DAVID Eva]

Dear Colleagues,


I would like to know if any of you recognise this stray find, which was found in a river in Touraine, France (see attached pictures).

It is a bevel end, probably made from a donkey's metapodial bone (the inner anatomical side for the bevel)

The question is about its possible age: is it middle agel?


Any help would be most appreciated.

Best wishes,

Eva David
