bone thread spinner

I read another post talking about if Indians spun their own thread. Here is carve bone objects that I believe would be used for this job.

First, are you 100% sure that is bone?

Second, those were obviously turned on a lathe so I highly doubt they are Indian related.

unless they're not pre-historic... could be N.A. but more modern, no?

I will have to find it in my things to take another look. I now have a computer microscope which will help find out. It was in a area which I have found things from 1750 and earlier going to archaic. I will check back when I get time to get to it.

Thanks

I guess they could be historic pieces, but then I would venture to say they are probably early settler items.

good point. Thanks Grim.
