Quote:So, can we think there are some kind of medical object, better than have used like modern forks?
Some of the forks found seem to have been used as medical instruments indeed, as they accompanying artifacts were all or mostly medical AFAIK, there is however also a fair number that was found together with all kinds of kitchen or dinig utensils so that there can be no doubt of use of forks in conjunction with eating and drinking. I would however guess that the use of forks was rather restricted to a few special occasions, like when you needed to pull something out of its shell or something the like.
