Pig fibula was my first guess, too. Did that ID not play out?

Subject: [ZOOARCH] mystery bone - we're stumped
Hello again.
I have a small partial bone that I've shown to both zooarchs and bioanths alike in person and we're all stumped. The kicker is I know I've seen this before. It's a little thorn in my side, now.
At first it looks like human proximal radius or young distal humerus but it is neither of these things and is so compact we're calling it non-human. The real pain is that it has a bunch of identifiable features, and yet...
Commingled assemblage, mainly human and domesticates.
