[Bonetools] bone object ID

[spa105 at york.ac.uk]

Many thanks to all who responded to my enquiry regarding the part-worked
sheep metapodial.  The object might well find its way to the WBRG website in
the near future.

Thanks again

Steve

Very nice sawing with a (sand-)string
(this would be then a waste of débitage)...
