[Bonetools] suggestions?

[trzaska at lineone.net]

Hello Idoia,

The basic shape of the object is similar to a socketed gouge - here is an iron example from the 
Glastonbury Lake Village (middle to late Iron Age). A little unusual to see an antler version of an 
iron implement, but that is by no means unknown, even with agricultural implements.



Hope this helps,



Ian Riddler

Stratton, Cornwall

Only one fragment was not glued because it was found in a different deposit from the rest.
