[Bonetools] (Fwd) [ZOOARCH] Prehistoric antler cheek-pieces

[h13017cho at helka.iif.hu]

I am also curious what other bridle-cheek pieces and strap-dividers exist 
outside the Carpathian Basin in the (Middle) Bronze Age.

Dear colleagues,

having just completed a brief report on two Late Bronze Age antler cheek=20=

pieces found during excavations at Flag Fen, Cambridgeshire, I have begun=
=20
to compile an inventory of antler cheek pieces from British Neolithic=20
through to Iron Age contexts.=20

Pieces known from Britain up to 1976 were published in: Britnell, W.=20
(1976) Antler Cheekpieces of the British Late Bronze Age. The Antiquaries=
=20
Journal  56: 24-34.
With the exception of Runnemede and Poulton, I would be very interested t=
o=20
know if anyone has come across any additional cheek pieces. Whilst I am=20=

starting with British examples, I am also open to any direction with othe=
r=20
European examples.

The Flag Fen cheek-pieces will be published in a monograph in 2008, but I=
=20
can send a photo should anyone be interested.

Many thanks for you help,

Kind regards,

Marcus Brittain
