A bone artifact much like a belt (see attached picture), and something they call organic material. Unfortunately, all I have now are these photos.</div><div>My question is, have you ever seen such an artifact? If yes, where and from what period? And do you think it's possible to tell what animal or body part it belongs to? And about the organic material, does anyone anywhere analyze these? Can you help out with their contact information?</div><div>Thank you in advance for any opinions! </div><div>Kind regards,</div><div class="ydp862cbef7yiv9891513962yqt6636198988" id="ydp862cbef7yiv9891513962yqtfd24129"><div>Imola</div></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div class="ydp862cbef7yiv9891513962ydpd7c2a549signature"><div style="font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div><b><font color="#440062">Dr. Imola Kelemen </font></b></div><div><i><font color="#440062">archaeozoologist</font></i></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">Muzeul Secuiesc al Ciucului </font></div><div><font face="times new roman, new york, times, serif">530132 Miercurea Ciuc, RO
