Description: | A bone probably post-medieval (AD c.1500-c.1800) possible handle from an unidentified object. Overall, the object is 45.2mm long and 11.8mm in diameter. It weighs 4.82g. The object is sub-cylindrical. It has a rounded terminal and then narrows, expands, narrows and expands along its length, becoming narrower overall (9.9mm in diameter) at the other terminal. The narrower terminal has two semi-circular incisions at its end, but is otherwise rounded like the other terminal. These incisions along with the shape of the object suggest that this was a handle for an implement, perhaps a small knife or fork. The surface is smooth and has been polished.
