[Bonetools] crossbows and flees

[Heidi Luik]

Dear Marloes,
with my colleagues I have an article about medieval castle in 
Viljandi, where some antler crossbow nuts are shortly discussed (pp. 
311-313, 324-325, figs 16 and 31). You can download this article from 
the address: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85648132/10%20Haak_LA38.pdf

Best wishes,
Heidi
