Hi Heidi,<BR>
<BR>
It looks like a gaming piece. The bottom was attached with screwthread, but is missing! I have similar in Amsterdam.<BR>
<BR>
Best, Marloes<BR> <BR>

These probably come from the 18th-20th century context. <BR>I have some similar pieces from Tallinn also. In Tallinn they are <BR>from mixed layer, but 18th-19th century looks most likely here too. <BR>My colleague would like to know if such objects could have earlier <BR>date also, and when screw thread cutter was introduced. I hope maybe <BR>some of you has more experience with such things or maybe you can <BR>suggest some publications about the topic.<BR>(I have found some similar objects in the book: Vilsteren, V. T. van <BR>1987. Het Benen Tijdperk. Gebruiksvoorwerpen van been, gewei, hoorn <BR>en ivoor 10.000 jaar geleden tot heden. Drents Museum, Assen.)<BR>In the attachment are some photos of such objects.<BR> <BR>Thank you in advance,<BR>Heidi<BR> <BR></PRE><BR>_______________________________________________ Bonetools mailing list Bonetools@listserv.niif.hu https://listserv.niif.hu/mailman/listinfo/bonetools </body>
