🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Has this bone been butchered?

[iamsherlocked333]

Found eroding from a river bank in Edmonton AB, the area prior to 1860 had Cree people living on the land and European settlers continuously after that. I've found many bones and fossils over the years but never one with a break quite like this so I was curious to know if this could have been butchered by Cree peoples or if it is just a random break that could have happened any time. Thanks!

Green spiral break means it was broken when it was fresh. Could possibly mean human but not definite, any cut marks? Non parallel grooves?

No cut marks

Spiral fractures are almost always caused by some sort of trauma.

Yep, question is was humans cracking open a fresh kill or an animal eating a carcass or even a nasty fall or an injury from a fight… about all you can tell is it was broken before the bone had time to dry out and weather
