Yes, I have seen this before. I particular I remember seeing it in several early post-medieval contexts in Iceland, but I've seen other odd cases. What I remember are clear deliberately drilled holes, but I also remeber a second hole in the shaft near the distal end. Unfortunately I can't remember the source of my information at the moment, but I have a vague recollection regarding the feeding of warmed up marrow to babies! I will let you know if I remember where that came from. Cheers, Alan. ---------------------- Alan K.
