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

[Dr C.M. Hills]

Dear Pamela Cross, if  you  are interested in Anglo-Saxon horse burials do 
oyu know the work of Chris Fern, based in York, who has researched  and 
published on this topic? ( eg paper in  Anglo-Saxon Studies in Archaeology 
and history vol 14 ed Semple and Williams)  Could  you let me know more 
about the  high status Anglo-Saxon  female burial in East Anglia?  Horse 
burials have been predominantly associated with male AS inhumations 
although they do occur with both sexes in cremations.
