Dear Imola,
to me it looks like a rib of a cyprinid.
Best,
Nadja

Dear Zooarchers,
as you have been so effective so many times, I would also like to ask your help identifying a bone fragment.
It comes from a Late Bronze Age settlement in Eastern Hungary, and I'm guessing it's some kind of fish,
but unfortunately I do not know much about them, nor do I have a useful reference collection.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Thank you!
