Mesolithic bone awl
Fragment of an auroch humerus. A flake of bone has been removed from each side forming a point, which is also slightly rounded nad shows pronounced polish. There are abrasion marks along the axis of the piece near th tip. The tip has been broken after formation of the polish. The polish might be consistent with use as an awl, but the abrasion also suggests use on something harder.
