Description (Physical description)
A worked long bone, possibly a beamer. The middle section of the bone has been removed to create a rectangular-shaped slot exposing the interior edges of the bone; the cut edges are internally bevelled and appear polished through use. There is a substantial crack on the proximal epiphysis; general deterioration, irregular linear scratches, and dirt accumulation throughout the surface.
