[Bonetools] Antler pick

[S O'Connor]

Dear Steve and Naomi,

Are you aware of the Leverhulme funded interdisciplinary research project
'Examination of ritual & dress equipment from British early Bronze Age
graves'? I think it has just finished. The project PI was Professor John
Hunter, Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity, University of Birmingham,
with a team of ten others (Ann Woodward, David Bukach, Mark Maltby, Alison
Sheridan, Mary Davis, Stuart Needham, Fiona Roe, Rob Ixer, Peter Webb and
John Watson).  I know your antler is not dress equipment but I guess in
doing this they may have pulled together inventories for all these sites -
published and unpublished.  I'd suggest you start your enquiries by
contacting Mark Maltby mmaltby at bournemouth.ac.uk (Reader, Programme Leader
MSc Osteoarcheaology, School of Conservation Sciences, University of
Bournmouth).

All the best,

Sonia

Subject: [Bonetools] Antler pick

Dear all,

An enquiry from an old coleague of mine, but out of my period,
unfortunately; does this fit for Neolithic, EBA anyone? Can anyone provide
further info / suggest any good reading on the subject? If you cold reply to
the list, I'll pass any info on.

Many thanks,

Steve Ashby
