A rare bone tool has been discovered in an archeological excavation on Ngarrindjeri Country in South Australia. 

It is unclear what the tool was specifically used for, however, researchers believe its point was used to puncture softer materials. 

The tool, estimated to be between 3,800 to almost 5,000 years old is considered rare because a tool made of bone has not been found in the area since the 1970’s.
