A carpologist colleague found these residues in a sample from a subaquatic medieval context. She wondered if it can’t be preserved animal parts.

Thank you in advance.

This object was found in a grave during the excavation (about 20 years ago by Soprintendenza Archeologica della Puglia) of a Late Antiquity (6th century AD) cemetery in the town of Taranto (south Italy).

The measurements of the object, made from snake skin, are: 22mm x 28mm, and 7 mm of thickness.

Many thanks in advance to help me to clarify this mystery.

Many thanks to Sheila (and the rest of the mailing-list Zooarch) for helping (...)

A wedge-shaped piece of bone measuring 82.2mm x 24.8mm x 16.1mm, probably a piece from towards the end of a very large long bone as the wide end shows remnants of cancellous bone on what would have been the internal surface and the end on view also shows cancellous bone. It has been worked on all surfaces, photos show what I guess are file or saw marks, but at the wider end enough remains of the original external surface to show that it was (...)
