Est-il sûr qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un sciage ?<br>
<br>
Would not be sawing traces ?<br>

Does anybody have an idea about the type or function of this
object ? It's an young <span style="text-decoration:
underline;">pig phalanx</span>, with <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">use wear traces on the
internal face</span>, covered by oblique striations. It comes
from large <span style="text-decoration: underline;">protohistoric
site</span> (possible marketplace) of Toulouse, in the south
of France (II-I° century BC). About 20 objects was found, a
majority made of pig phalanxes (young or not) and only two made
of bovid pahlanxes. Use wear is always located on the same face,
with different use degree and some objetcs are <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">perforated on the proximal
face</span>. We thought about a kind of <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">smoother </span>(in
relation with potery ? metal ?) but objects are realy small and
found in various contexts (more often in <span
style="text-decoration: underline;">wells</span> full of
rubbish).<br>
Thanks a lot and best regards<br>
