<p>Dear all, <br>
</p>
<p>thanks a lot for all your ideas. I have not had the chance to see
the bone yet but I hope I will be able to do it next month when I
visit the museum. Then I will take new photographs and let you
know about my observations.</p>
<p>Best wishes, <br>
</p>

Dear Marta, Hans and Ian,
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">Another possibility is a cutting edge tool
led to exhaustion, which acted on a material of narrow
shape. This specific U-shape of the end result from wear
according to the following mechanism: while the cutting
edge, thiner than the edges, wears down, the edges,
thicker, wear less quickly and become prominent. This is
a common feature which I could often observe on
Neolithic and Chalcolithic tools. </div>
<div class="">Of course, this needs to be confirmed by
wear observation. </div>
<div class="">Can you see any striation on both side of
the U-shape end (if the surface of the bone is well
preserved, you can see them with the naked eye)? Is the
end sharp or smooth? Does the base of the tool show
traces of percussion or not?</div>

Apologies about the delay, this is a
fascinating object. Is it hollow? I suspect
that it might be. It is probably a fairly
elaborate handle but there is also the
possibility that it is a medieval lucet, an
implement used to create braids. Difficult to
see if there are any prongs at the end. The
so-called ‘English’ variant of lucets uses
caprine metatarsals and has two distinctive
prongs at one end, as in the photo here. The
earliest lucets go back to the late ninth
century and they continue into the twelfth
century.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

that be possible?<br class="">
