(approx 10cm long) at Links of Noltland, Westray, Orkney this week. It came from within a Bronze Age structure c.3500 BP. We have seen nothing quite like it here before, maybe somebody in the group has?<br>> <br>> Kind Regards<br>> <br>> Sean<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Bonetools mailing list<br><a
