[Bonetools] Worked antler

[Sonia O'Connor]

Dear Maja,


It is worked antler tine. It has fractured longitudinally and it might just be half of a handle from a metal tool, like a knife, with a tang that was pushed down into the spongy core of the antler.

Dear Bonetoolers,

any idea what this is? Is it a worked antler tine? What could have it been used for? Unfortunately, I don't have the date for it, but it could be medieval.. It was found in northeaster Croatia (Baranya).

Best regards,

Maja Grguric
