<div>Dear Imola,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for providing the pictures. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your piece looks to me as the back side of a broken (or reworked) Mattock-head (Early Mesolithic)</div>
<div>from a large cervid antler (red deer or elk) as it shows an osseous tissues which the cortical ring is cleary delimited around the spongy core. Perforation technique is also remarkable.<br>
</div>
<div>Will try to provide with some litterature when it will be possible to work back at the office.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this will be of some help,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards, éva</div>

<div>Dear everyone,
<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620284004004">A friend of mine asked for help, they're trying to ID some old inventory pieces in their museum.</div>
<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620284177475"><br>
</div>
<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620284066327">Have you seen anything like the tool in the pictures attached? I can see it is made of antler, but could you help in identifying its function and/or the time period most probably used in?</div>
<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1620284411612">I hope it's familiar to some of you!</div>
