<p>Dear Alice!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I am writing to you because you are my last hope :)</p>
<p>I have some strange worked bones, actually 3 of them, from 3 different pits, Late Bronze Age from near Nyíregyháza, which remind me of torches - they are sharpened at the diaphyseal part, have a hole at the epiphysis and burned inside (I attach the photo of one of them). </p>
<p>I have never seen anything like this before, and never met it either in my readings, maybe you have, can you give me some reference or maybe give me (another) idea of what might have been their purpose? I found it like 3-4 years ago, but I will publish the material this year, and I did not give birth to any better idea during these years...</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Kind regards: Elisabeth</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br></div><br>
