<br>
Can I turn to you with a question about one very rare bone finding from <br>
Central Moravia?<br>
<br>
Finding Site: Olomouc, Křížkovského 10 Street<br>
- finding from the settlement layer; the layer lay on prehistoric <br>
deposits, stratum with the bone artefact contained also early medieval <br>
ceramic sherds (with some prehistoric sherds as the admixture);<br>
- layer dating: 2nd half of the 10th - early 11th century <br>
(preliminarily)<br>
- bone artefact: rib of a large mammal; a fraction of the animal rib <br>
with regular and irregular grooves - some kind of an artistic engraving <br>
ornament/decoration<br>
- max. length 12 cm; max. width 2,4 cm<br>
<br>
Could you recomend me some articles with analogous findings, if there <br>
exists one? I will be very thankful for any information about similar <br>
finds.<br>
Does anybody know what that could be?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much in advance.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
