<div>There are potentially a number of uses which could cause friction wear marks, including, I believe, hide processing, various sleds. Refer to </div>

<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,</div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">In the early medieval archaeozoological collection of Domburg (coastal site in the Netherlands) are different types of skates (glissen).</div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">Skates are frequently made out of horse or cattle bone. But in Domburg, 90% of the skates are made out of sheep/goat radii or metacarpi. These bones sometimes belong to immature animals.
</div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">The site knows a presence of 60% sheep, 31% cattle and 9% pig. The presence of sheep is probably caused by the landscape (they grazed on salt pastures) on one hand, and the wool/skin trade on the other hand.
</div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">Usewear shows that the bone surface changed by friction (see document in attachment).</div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">Holes to fasten the skates to shoes are not present. Are these sheep/goat bones also skates? Can this wear be caused by an other activity?</div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="yiv2591233109MsoNormal">Kinds regards,</div>
