Point
Unique ID: LON-A94ED0
Object type certainty: Certain
A Prehistoric, probably Neolithic – Bronze Age bone point or awl (3500-800BC). A bone from a sheet/goat has been worked to from this point/awl. The tip of the point is broken and has the same dark staining as the rest of the surface suggesting the damage occurred in antiquity.
Dimensions: length: 97.56mm; width: 12.47mm; thickness: 6.38mm; weight: 5.45g.
Notes:
Alan Pipe, faunal remains specialist, states that it is difficult to be precise about the species of animal but he suggests based on the shape of the bone that this point was made from a fibula or a pig or wild boar.
