<p class="MsoNormal">This was found in a medieval monastery in Frisia (see attached). It's a bovine metacarpus with a big hole in the centre. Around the hole are concentric friction marks. They cover the proximal side of the bone next to the hole completely.
The distal side next to the hole is only partly covered in friction marks. The backside was flattened by cutting, but has no friction marks. Another hole was made in the distal end.

<p class="MsoNormal">A second one was found in the same dig (but different context), also with a hole in the middle but no friction (see pictures).<o:p></o:p></p>
