<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">This antler object was found on a coastal site in Scotland and is dated sometime from the Late Iron Age through to Late Norse. It appears unfinished (or least rather rough) and
the end of the hook has a drilled out hole (possibly for a metal spike though there is no staining). As can be seen from the pen in the photo, the hook is quite large (about 200mm long) and certainly bigger than a “normal” fishing hook. Does anyone know of
any similar artefacts or have any suggestions regarding its purpose? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
