[Bonetools] Horse bone: tools, decorative plates and other uses?

Dear Dr.Olsen
Again, just another thank you for the copies of the chapter, pdf's -- I've  
particularly found the Ch 6 interview material very interesting, especially 
 regarding positioning and the rib info. I will have to check for this - 
just to  clarify, this refers to rib 1, not rib 17/18, yes? Unfortunately the 
rib  preservation is not the best with the material I've looked at. There 
were no  questions regarding anyone being buried with horses or sacrificial 
animals  rather than consumed animals?  It was quite interesting that none of 
these  consumed animals are stallions. The human-horse burials I'm looking 
at appear  pretty much exclusively male, possibly intact. The material with 
butchery  evidence, probably feasting material, does seem to include female 
animals.
