Record ID: YORYM-2CFF81
Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unidentified object of uncertain date. The object is formed from a butchered section of animal skeletal material, probably a long bone. It is circular in plan with slightly angled sides and is undecorated. The small size of the object combined with a lack of decoration makes it difficult to attribute a function or date.

The object is 19.3mm in diameter, 1.8mm wide, 3.1mm thick and weighs 1.4g.
