Description
This peice of bone is rather long and thin. It is noticibly shaped by human hands to form a type of tool. Due to the pointyness of one end of the fragment, I feel that this used to be an awl of sorts or even a sewing needle for larger projects. The only thing that throws off the needle theory is that there is no hole or notch to tie the leather or string to which is why I lean more towards the theory of this being a possible awl. The peice is definitely thick enough to hve worked for ahwile as an awl.
