[Bonetools] Zooarchaeology and Bone Technology Interest Group (ZBTIG)

[Christian Küchelmann]

Dear Lisa, dear Sarah,

I have now advertised your proposal in the news section of the WBRG  
website:
http://www.wbrg.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=3
I hope this will help to spread the word about your project.
Please keep me posted with further developments and let me know when  
you want something to be announced.

I would also like to suggest to become a member of the BONETOOL  
mailing list yourself as this seems to be a useful step for future  
cooperations and exchange. Information about how to become a member  
can be found here:

With kind regards.

Christian
