Uh oh! Looks like someone from the Time Team is making a little extra cash on the side....:D

I dunno.:confused: To me it looks more like the business end of a stone hoe (note: no N).
According to many, slate don't hone. Hoe it may; hone it don't.:)
I agree with Bruce, it doesn't look like a hone to me either.... It looks like it was a VERY primitave razor at one time, judging by the way it narrows down at the one end. Weren't pieces of slate used for shaving once upon a time??

Its way to small to be either, although it does look broken at one end.
