<p>Hi Clare</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For some reason your email didn't make it to my mailbox, but I'm curious about your artifact. Could you send again? You can just send it to me (<a href="mailto:griffitt@email.arizona.edu">griffitt@email.arizona.edu</a>) so everyone doesn't get a duplicate
email!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

Your poor tiny and nevertheless charming thing is a part (a half ?) of a more complete one, where such another series of marks is to be expected ; which means 1°) that the upper edge is the result of a later splitting (can you look at this ?), and 2°)see<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">This is a very small, fine bone that appears to have been notched along one edge. The marks are not root etching and don’t appear to be from any insect damage. Unfortunately these pictures aren’t the best, as I only had my phone with me
that day (I will try to get some more). We haven’t been able to think of what it could be used for, or why this working would occur. The bone is from a protohistoric Oneota site in north eastern Illinois (11-Wi-213). The site has prehistoric Langford and protohistoric
occupations. This is from the protohistoric. The site at that period was a horticultural village. Other worked items are bison and elk scapula hoes, worked antler, and awl and a beamer on white tailed deer metapodials.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions welcome and many thanks for any ideas.</p>
