<p class="MsoNormal">Hi. Colleagues have found a human bone from Tel
es-Safi,
area F, in Israel, dated to the Ottoman period (most probably). It
has some holes that look as if they were drilled from the inside of the
bone's
cortex. They were not drilled from the outer face since complete
diameters are
visible only from inside. Therefore, it seems they were probably made
by
some sort of insect. they are not from roots or human drilling. Has
anyone ever
see such holes or know what made them?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">thanks<o:p></o:p></p>

Am I right with human <b>femur</b> ?<br>
<br>
What a pity that both "ends" are fresh broken ! Can't you find the
missing pieces ? It would make the significant document twice the
length. (a very good opportunity for an explanation which I dont dare
to tell).<br>
<br>
The holes are drilled trought the whole bone <i>corpus</i>, as can be
seen on view 2, on the "meridian" at 8,5 cm, and this explains that
some apertures (in fact, the half of them) began from the medular
surface of the marrow chamber. And some of these holes are not
completely drilled through, such as, fig. 1, at 6,5 cm 7,3 (with ??), 8
cm, and 12,6 (with ?) ( what means that the drilling occured mainly
from the opposite side of the femur). Can you check these imperfect
piercings, looking at what is diametrally opposite (:the entrances) ?<br>
<br>
A view with little broaches (greek "slouviakias") through theses holes
would be appreciate.<br>
<br>
And make a "déroulé, a drawing with every holes, as you would made the
periost flat on a paper.<br>
<br>
Your's.<br>
