I usually offer up a mystery object on Friday, but here’ a bonus object that landed on my desk this morning.
Apparently it was found in a horsefield in Kent, I have narrowed down the likely species of the animal that ‘donated’ the bone to a couple of options, but thought you might like to have a go as well, before the specimen is handed over to our Anthropologists to inspect the engraved designs.
As usual can can leave your comments below. Have fun!
How gorgeous is that?!
Pretty gorgeous!
What you have there is a tibia of a lamb, I reckon, someone’s Sunday roast, only someone’s been and gorn and lummocked all over it.
Hmmm. That appears to be the leg bone of a bovine creature, and judging from the markings, I’d estimate it dates to around the year 1250.
…or perhaps the only archaeological work I’ve done has been a dig in my own navel! Ha-ha! 😀
