Dear Zooarchaeologists,
I hoped i could appeal to your collective wisdom in helping me to identify a troublesome specimen in an assemblage. It originates from a lake deposit in a 19th century park in England, which has otherwise not thrown up any unusual or unexpected species. To me, the specimen exhibits many characteristics of a clavicle, but does not match with any species i have checked it against, including human. The more robust end (to the right in photo 2) indicates an unfused epiphysis.

Any help would be greatly appreciated-i have a nagging feeling i am missing something quite obvious. Regards,
