  • Large bone with hole found on neolithic site.... any ideas?

    I found this bone on a neolithic site I go to Wiltshire England. It has a perfect hole through it. The site may have had earlier settlers. Is this something modern or could this have been made a long time ago. I cant see much info on this.

      It looks like it was drilled with a metal drill..

        I’ve seen pictures of gun shot holes, including some from long, long ago. They fracture/fragment round edges. I think Hal’s right; looks kinda too perfect.

            Interesting. I have seen lots of bone with holes, it drills differently than stone so I don't think I'd assume metal drill bit from the start.

            No clue what it is, but you might try to identify the animal the bone came from. You are on an island so someone has probably studied and published information on when certain animals arrived.
