[Bonetools] [ZOOARCH] Knucklebones

[Ariel Shatil]

Dear Jonathan,
Maybe I can be of some help, regarding late strata mostly (Byzantine and
Early Islamic). We also have data from stratas of Iron Age (8th BC) to
Late-Roman (4th AD) but it is only partially completed.
In any case, you can contact me and guide me what exactly you want me to
look for and I'll drown myself in our zooarch databases.
The site is Jerusalem, City of David.

Best of Luck
Ariel
