[Bonetools] [ZOOARCH] Knucklebones

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Jonathan,
     We have a number of people who have worked on issues connected to
knucklebones on the Worked Bone Research Group mailing list(
bonetools at listserv.niif.hu) which is  a working group of ICAZ. If you join
the list you can contact them directly or, if you wish, simply write and  I
can forward the message.
