Upper Palaeolithic perforated tooth
A large bovid probably Bos primigenius left lower third incisor.
The tooth has broken across a single perforation running through it side to side at the tip of the root. In addition there is a further perforation higher up the root, which is particularly small and more regular in shape.
The tooth root is covered with score marks running parallel with the base of the enamel.
