<div dir="ltr">Dear Etan, Dear mother bone ladies,<div> It would be neat to somehow present these rings as the bone tool of the month with Heidi's explanatory image and the joint explanation. It is so nice to see you guys reason things out and we should share those thoughts on the webpage where they can be archived!</div>

was already rather modernized, especially a port city like Jaffa. The objects could have been imported, mainly the large ring.<u></u><u></u></p>
