<div class="gmail_extra">Here is an image of a somewhat similar object from the area of the Civil Town 1st c. AD - the very first days of the occupation. It is made from eithe a huge domestic cattle or aurochs long bone (prob. dorsal radius diaphysis). Marloes. Could you also give the archaeologists the precise provenience of your object. There do seem to be parallels but it would also be nice to know what you mean by Iron Age. This object is certainly NOT Roman and most likely a product of the local late Celtic population in contact with the Romans. The o-called conquest here in Pannonia was anything buta conquest. the local Celtic elite had been waiting for years for hypocaust floor heating!</div>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
An interesting object from the Netherlands, probably dating to
the Iron age. Any suggestions or parallels?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
