are looking for, but there are hollowed segments of antler beam from Orkney.
They are habitually described as ‘handles’ but some of them are so
hollowed as to be fine-walled, and have no sign of how they might have been
fastened to an implement, so I suspect they may have been handles. There are
some from the Iron Age settlement at Howe in Stromness, dating to the early
centuries AD or a little earlier. I attach the reference to the artefact
section of the report.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
