This was my very first find regarding the Stainton Gravel beds, this carved bone has never been identified, by any amateur or professional that has viewed it. Sorry these pics aint great as I had to take them with a web cam back then.
The Artefact almost certainly had some kind of shaft inserted .
The carved surface is easily seen.
The prongs are almost identical
This piece was given to Peter Row of Tees Archaeology back in 2007 the bloke tried his hardest to get it identified but it never was.
It would be good to see a photo of the entire piece. In the last photo we see a shape suggestive of the similar end of a thumb stick.
