[Bonetools] unusual fish bones- worked?

[GH Nash]

Dear Bone Tools network,

I am about to update and rewriting a book on Mesolithic portable art from
southern Scandinavia.  Is there anyone out there who is familar with this
material and inform me of any discoveries that have been found within the
last 10-12 years.  Material includes bone, antler, amber, flint and clay.

Take care,

George
