<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="NL">The ‘weaving coils’ were found in a waste dump located in a stream bed north of the city of Sittard (Southern part of the Netherlands). The waste dump has a wide date range (Late Bronze Age to Late Roman Period) but the
coils are located in the lower parts of the waste dump and are probably Iron Age or even Late Bronze Age. One is made of red deer antler. The other, half finished one, is made of bone (catte rib) and shows several cut marks at both tapered ends.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
