[Bonetools] Thames Bone Object

[Charlie Dixon]

Hello all,


Thank you for welcoming me into the group!


I’m a licensed mudlark on the River Thames in London. I found this curious
bone object on the south bank of the river recently. It’s hollow and after
cleaning out some mud and grit, a small carved bone plug came loose. This
can be removed and slotted back in easily. I think the dark colour would
suggest something at least a couple of hundred years old. If anyone has any
ideas on what it might be, please let me know!


I’ve attached photos and please see the attached video for a more in-depth
look and a demonstration of how the plug fits in place.


Many thanks,

Charlie
