apologies, here is a comb that is interesting me at the moment. It is from the
broch at Howe in Stromness, and is described as ‘found in ditch deposits’
dating to the early centuries AD (Ballin Smith (ed) 1994, 177). This is one of
three single-sided one-piece combs in the Orkney Museum (as distinct from
miniatures), but this one has a very very close parallel from Kettleburn in
Caithness, and I’m wondering how many more there may be. </span><span

I am still waiting for all those amazing
pictures of bone tool of the month for 2010. I need twelve and at the moment
only two of you have responded with any pictures. It can be an all Hungarian
year but that would be a pity.<br>
