Fascinating object and very unusual too! We do have one example from an early Iron Age site at Linton in Cambridgeshire and I enclose that text here. Not well stratified unfortunately and thought to be made of whale bone, and the report mentions another one
from All Cannings Cross, which would also be of early Iron Age date.</div>

But do you have any analogies?</p>

Hi, Selena!<br>
Nice find indeed. Any chance that you may have Bronze age there?<br>
Cheers, Petar<br>

<div style="font-family:sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif">I hope you are all doing fine. </div>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif">I have an interesting find from the site of Remesiana, in southern Serbia. It looks like the tip of an arrow. The object was made from some large mammal long bone, upper part is fragmented and also in the basal part it is
possible to see that the part used for inserting into the wooden part is fragmented as well. </div>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif">Now, the main problem is that this find comes from disturbed context, so the excavators are uncertain whether this is from the Iron Age or from Late Antiquity. </div>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif">Personally, I have never seen anything remotely resembling this, especially from the Iron Age or Antiquity - and the bone objects from the Iron Age in particular are virtually unknown in the area. </div>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:sans-serif">Any help with analogies, references, etc. is much appreciated. </div>
