[Bonetools] bone pavement

[Alice Choyke]

Dear all,
sorry about that. In the text describing the floors they are described as
'astragalus floors but as far as I can tell they are all from distal or
proximal metapodia. I have the distinct impression they result directly
from the increasing industrial focus on Bos metapodia in bone-working
enterprises of various sorts and these floors are a kind of 'next step'
into efficient use of raw materials starting at the very end of the Middle
Ages and, as we see, even continuing until the nineteenth century!

Best,
Alice
