<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Does somebody know this type of artefact made on caprine's long bone, found in the East of France, and which dates of the middle Bronze Age? Could it be a whistle? Are whistles common
in european Bronze Age? I am thinking also at a hinge. Is this could be a hinge? Are there any hinge identified in Bronze Age?
