Help with I.D. (Bracelet?)

[brenden preece]

Anyone any idea. These objects were found in eroded peat deposits in moorland in the north of England. Prehistoric worked flint objects have previously been found in the area.These "bracelets" are not metallic but are light in weight and feel like bone or hide. The one with the twisted end is about 3" diameter the other slightly larger.

Welcome & hi from the south.

Best taking it to your FLO for an ID. Not sure the US find many of these.

I have to agree. Not many of these found in the US.

But that won't stop anyone from speculating on what these items might be.

They look like hide. If they are, and they are prehistoric, they are remarkably well preserved. Ends are rounded off for a reason - like they they might have been threaded through a hole in clothing or leggings or boots.

Is it possible these are simply the ends of a lace or belt or strap? The twisted end would be where the knot was typically tied - a common place to break...

Just my thoughts...
