I forwarded your answers to my colleague Kristjan Sander, and he asked to say lot of thanks to you. He also sent me one picture with two parts of a gaming piece. (I guess, maybe it could be used as 'multifunctional': you can play checkers with lower parts, and chess if you add upper parts of different shapes).<BR><BR>All bets wishes,<BR>Heidi<BR><BR><BR>At 15:55 29.03.2011, you wrote:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="">Hi Heidi,<BR> <BR>It looks like a gaming piece. The bottom was attached with screwthread, but is missing!

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