Dear zooarchers,
A colleague working in the Farafra Oasis, Egypt, has asked if I could
identify this bone for him. I would welcome any suggestions as I'm not
very familiar with the region/period. Proximal metacarpal? Goat?

The context in which it was found is dated between 7,000 and 6,000 uncal
BP.
Best wishes,
Pia
