[Bonetools] iron age handle?

[Marloes Rijkelijkhuizen]

Dear all,
Thank you for all the responses. These were the photos I have got from the 
excavators. I will get the object itself soon I hope, so then I can make new 
pictures and know more about the two holes the object apparently has (I have 
been told). (It comes from a pit with iron age pottery, but finds from the 
whole excavation date from iron age until medieval period).
I will be in touch when I know more.

Thank you,
Marloes
