The Aluminium Wedge of Aiud
I would love to see scientific study done to that piece..
I wonder if the collector is interested in that, or it just collects dust in a cellar
It's interesting but I generally ignore that artifact for the reason you mention.. without proper study it's hard to begin to explain it and we just have to accept it at face value, which I don't always trust.
To me it looks more like a digger tooth part. That could be cleared up if they could do some research on what diggers were in use to excavate the bones. The skeleton was found when ... the digger snagged on some debris in the rock ...

That is so clearly what it is. I worked in construction when I was younger and would swap those out on the buckets every so often. The holes in the side are for the pin that holds it in place on the bucket.
Honestly, that academic looks like such a moron holding that. But obviously never had a blue collar job in his life.
And this is one of those rare instances that show scientific dating techniques are garbage (one of the links mentioned it was tested and came back at 400 years old but the dating technique was not released).

Bucket teeth made of aluminium? They would be useless minutes.
No...think of them like a shear-pin. They are engineered to fail before the machinery sustains damage.

It's got a good amount of other stuff in it too.
