Title
A bone point which may date to the Iron Age (700BC - 100AD) or the late Early Medieval - Medieval (AD850-1300) but is essentially undateable
Description
English: A bone point which may date to the Iron Age (700BC - 100AD) or the late Early Medieval - Medieval (AD850-1300) but is essentially undateable. This bone point has been crudely worked on the long bone of an animal; one end has been shaped to form a point. There is some evidence of wear on the point. There is no evidence of wear where the point would be held which is unusual unless it was used as a burnisher. The opposite end to the point is broken. One surface of the point shows the cortex in the centre of the bone and the opposite surface of the point is rough with irregular, fast bone growth. The broad end of the point appears to be broken across two perforations however this may simply be the irregular nature of the bone

Dimensions: length: 70.7mm; width: 14.9mm; thickness: 11.6mm; weight: 8.50g.
