Long bone point. Comprised of a long shaft, one end tapers to a round point; the butt end has a square cross-section, with two drilled holes set close together but at different angles; and a rounded terminus. There are two iron rivets set perpendicular and above and below the drilled holes, possibly a modern repair reattaching a piece of bone that had become detached.
