<div dir="ltr">Dear Marta,<div> If you go to the WBRG.net references and search for combs you will find a pretty long list of Steve Ashby's work and generally about early medieval combs from Northern Europe. There are many combs of this type from so-called Migration period burials and settlements in Hungary and beyond but very little of this material is published in English of course. Such double-sided composite combs are really everywhere in early medieval continental Europe at least - but again not masses of references in English. Most of the Hungarian combs are definitely antler.and may be single-sided and double sided with differences in decorative motif.</div><div><br></div><div>Alice </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 3, 2016 at 8:06 PM, MARTA MORENO GARCIA <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:marta.moreno@cchs.csic.es" target="_blank">marta.moreno@cchs.csic.es</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<p>Dear all,<br>
I am currently studying the bone assemblage recovered from the Duomo of Padova (Italy) dated to the early and high Middle Ages. An Italian student is working with the worked bone material, among which there is this comb (see attached photographs) that comes from the cleaning layer. First of all, I would like to ask for your expertise in order to identify the material it is made of and secondly, I would appreciate very much any comments you would like to make on its typology. If you send some bibliography we can read, it would be great!<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Marta</p>
