[Bonetools] Worked Bone Artefacts found on River Thames - Peg and Spoon

[Alice Choyke]

Just a thought for the 'spoon' - could it be a spoon for taking snuff. I
have a small bone spoon from 19th century Scotland in my collection
although that piece has holes drilled thru the bowl. One suggestion - a
scale woukld be useful. Romans also used ear scoops in their medicine but I
have never see one so roughly made.
