Pin or point of boneThis bone pin or point was found at the Neolithic settlement site of Skara Brae in Orkney. It was used sometime between 3100 and 2400 BC. The pin or point was made from an animal bone. In the almost tree-less Northern Isles, wooden objects are less common than other materials. The inhabitants of Skara Brae used bone and antler for a range of objects including shovels, awls, pins, chisels, knives and even beads.
