[Bonetools] (Fwd) [ZOOARCH] worked camel bones

[Christian Küchelmann]

Dear Marta,

funny enough, I just talked to a guy from Iran today, who told me about 
his experiences in camel bone working. He carved pieces like chess 
figures and dice just a few years ago and told me that camel bone 
working was and apparently still is a common practice in his home country..

I enquired for examples and more information and in case I will receive 
something I will let you know.

Yours

Christian
