[Bonetools] antler object from Iron Gates

[PajX at aol.com]

Dear Selena
This item looks very much like others which have been identified as bridle  
cheek pieces (there's another name, but I'm not awake enough to remember it 
at  the moment - ps...). Quite an exciting find re aspects of horse  
domestication/riding... The grooved wear line seems consistent with  this.
Such pieces have also be identified as other tools. You might find this  
site of interest.

I'd love to hear more about the find context.
