I would really like to know if these medieval long bone combs: 1. occur
in your country; 2. To which period they are dated.<br>
All references are very welcome too.<br>

Dear Marloes,<br>
<br>
Such combs are known e.g. in Germany, Sweden, Poland, and also in
Estonia and Latvia. They are dated mostly to 13th-14th centuries.<br>
