It is a multi period site with features from Iron Age and Roman to medieval. They are both probably from Saxon contexts.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The main question is what sort of material they are made from, is it animal bone or antler or whale bone or something else? There are cross sections of both in the photo and I was hoping someone could shed some light on what material it is.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Many thanks for your help!</div><div dir="auto">Priscilla </div></div>
