<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy">Many 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 lang="EN-US"></span></p>
