Description: | Large bone 'awl' type implement with angled cut across stem and drilled vertical longitudinal perforation (enlarging the natural perforation) at the 'haft' end. The point is made from bovine metatarus- back foot bone. It measures 126mm in length and 43mm in width. There are extensive longitudinal and part diagonal grooving probably resulting from use wear. The tip is rounded and polished. The flat butt end of the bone displaying slight small irregular 'block' with cracking, possibly relating from burning, this is not evident anywhere else. The bone is in good condition and medium- dark brown in colour. This point is probably prehistoric, more specifically middle Bronze Age in date. Another similar point has been found in a nearby filed see SF6517. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
