| Title |
Worked Antler, possibly Bronze Age |
||
| Description |
English: A worked antler of possible Bronze Age date. The tip of one antler tine survives, terminating in old breaks at one end and missing the very end of the tine due to old breaks. Towards the tip of the antler the surfaces have been worn smooth appearing almost polished in places, and demonstrating extensive tool marks and signs of use wear. Precisely what this object was originally used for remains uncertain, however the findspot is suggestive of prehistoric rather than later usage, possibly during the Bronze Age. It measures 171mm in length, 25.31mm in width, 31.96mm in depth/thickness, and weighs 64.59g.
This worked antler tool is of possible Prehistoric date and may belong in the Bronze Age period, although an earlier or later date cannot be entirely ruled out. |
