Dear all, 

I was wondering if anyone could help.

This appears to be worked cattle metatarsus-recovered from a rectangular 
enclosure ditch with some Deverel-Rimbury (Middle Bronze Age) pottery (in 
Cambridge). This enclosure ditch is, however found in a very Roman 
landscape, but is lacking Roman dating evidence. A single cereal grain has 
been dated and has come back as Roman, but it could be intrusive. Site 
manager is convinced that the enclosure is Roman, but the pottery says 
differently. This piece of worked bone is our only chance to hazard a guess 
about the dating of our enclosure. I was hoping that someone would be able 
to help. Find the photos attached. Many thanks!!! greetings from foggy
