<div class="yiv0556217149MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;">Can you upload this photo of a Medieval bone pin found in a cairn in North Wales, UK to the WBRG bone tools group please? I can't seem to do it myself.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv0556217149MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;">I haven't seen the bone myself but the finder thought it was a pig fibular (which is common for everyday pins for this area in Medieval times) although it looks far to curved to be that to me. Any thoughts
greatfully recieved!</div>
