Rectangular cross section but with rounded corners. Obliquely sawn or chopped and then smoothed at the W1 end. 3 prongs, central prong has smooth close texture, right hand (missing) prong has a hole into the structure and a starburst pattern radiating out from this that seems part of the structure of the material. Very fine grained structure. I actually wondered at the time if it was bone or not, but this object was not my main aim ... so I took measurements and some snaps for future reference, but I'm afraid I don't have any ideas what it is. <br><br>Christian,
please feel free to put these up on the WBRG website.<br>I would also be very interested in any thoughts people had. <br><br>Fiona<br><br><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Ronald Caddy <ronald.caddy@sky.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> fiona beglane <fionabeglane@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Mon, April 11, 2011 5:01:58 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Bonetools] Object from river Thames<br></font><br><div>Hi Fiona,</div>
<div> Looking forwards to hearing from you. Can you also tell me what you think your artifact is made of,because somebody else has contacted me to say in their opinion my object couldn't be made of bone. <br>
<br>Best wishes,</div>
<div> Ron.</div>

<div>Hello Ronald and Christian</div>
<div>I have a note and a sketch that I took of a similar (?) (but broken) object that I saw in the bowels of the National Museum here in Ireland. I have not been in the office for a few days, but will be there tomorrow and will dig out my notes. </div>
