They didn’t have a bunch of busybody nanny-staters bringing about recalls on toys back then.
True. But I still maintain it's not a toy. Even Thracians are not so stupid to put a sharp object like that in the hands of a toddler. "You'll put your eye out, kid!"
I've seen small weights like that on tripods used for site markers on charts in planning sessions or even just weights for the corners of charts. Their conclusion it must be a toy. . . or something with religious meaning. . . because they couldn't think of anything else is ludicrous, and typical of the nose picking some archaeologists go through thinking the know everything there is to know.
