Dear Colleagues <BR>
<BR>
I have done microscopical analysis of really similar objects (but in Lama glama/guanicoe, unfortunately I have not photos at this time) from Early Formative (early neolithic) in the Atacama's Desert, and have the same kind of microwears in a experimental ones (with different shape) used as shuttles over camelidae wool in a loom. A curve in the shape of the piece some times is VERY helpful at the moment of cross the vertical strings.<BR>
<BR>
In general, the use of bones over wool, results in very smooth polishes that even could cover the manufacture wears. Even at 120X in a binocular microscope, is quite distinctive. I think that the eye of the piece must have similar ones. I have not tested over antler yet, but I think that could be similar. <BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

Dear Olivier,
This nice object looks like a weaving shuttle. Exact parallels were used in Israel since the Neolithic period (6th-5th millenia BCE). cf.:
Bar Yosef, Ofer. 1988. Nahal Hemar Cave ('Atiqot Series). Israel Antiquities Authority. Jerusalem (Neolithic).
Bar Adon, Pesah. 1980. The Cave of the Treasures, The Finds from the Caves in Nahal Mishmar. Israel Exploration Society. Jerusalem (Chalcolithic). Good photo of the same: Ayalon, Etan and Sorek, Chagit. 1999. Bare Bones, Ancient Artifacts from Animal Bones (Catalogue, Eretz Israel Museum). Tel Aviv, Fig. 27.
And so on, it has not changed in many periods.
Sincerely yours
Etan Ayalon
Israel

Subject: [Bonetools] (no subject)
Dear colleagues, we found on the settlement of Erstein (late bronze age), located near Strasbourg (Alsace, France), an antler artefact (photos attached). The dimensions are as follows:
- length 165 mm
- width 26 mm
- thickness: 2.3 to 2.4 mm
- diameter hole: 5.5 mm
Does somebody have an idea of the possible function of this object? Thanks in advance. Sincerely yours. OP.

My problem with it being a weaving shuttle is that it is curved. correct me
if I am wrong but it would be very awkward to move it at all between the
warp threads. I am wondering why ANTLER was chosen to make a tool that could
be easily produced on cattle rib - much more work involved this way.
