[Bonetools] Unknown bone handled implement (17th C?)

[Dave Constantine]

Hello all, 

Attached are some images of a bone handled iron implement found during some preliminary work on the site of an old village (last occupation around mid 17th C) on the Anglo-Scottish border. It was located about 8 - 10 inches down in top soil on a field unploughed for about 100 years, in an area between a church and a ruined castle. The exact layout of the village is unknown, but it is known that was home to cobblers and weavers. 

Any suggestions to it’s identity or parallels of a similar age would be most helpful. 

Thank you,

David Constantine
