It is a hollow antler object, slightly oval in diameter, that looks a bit like a hose pipe end. It measures about 65mm in length, with two opposing holes for fixing at the edge and has possible traces of red and black paint on the body. The object was recovered
from one of our excavations on the site of Bermondsey Abbey and the Cluniac Priory of St Saviour, in Southwark, London. It came from a ploughsoil, just south of the Abbey Church, with associated pottery dating from 1050-1150 AD. There is quite a lot of Roman
residual material from the site, and I initially thought this might be a Roman object; however, the Roman specialists are all shaking their heads and throwing it back at me! Anybody seen anything similar?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> Ian Riddler just wrote and suggested that I ask you to join the mailing list of the worked bone research group (a working group of ICAZ). We have specialists who regularly contribute to medieval and early modern discussions so it would
be great if your voice could be heard. Once you say you agree I will put your name up on the mailing list.<u></u><u></u></p>
