Dear Marloes,<br>
Thank you! <br>
I also found an article about Lithuanian chess pieces and there are some
similar pieces.<br>

Dear Kate, Genny and Marloes,<br><br>
Thank you very much! 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>

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

<dd>Best, Marloes<br>

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