[Bonetools] Roman bone pin work waste

[Kordula Gostencnik]

Dear Lena,

A. von den Driesch - J. Boessneck, Tierknochenabfall aus einer
spätrömischen Werkstatt in Pergamon, Archäologischer Anzeiger 1982,
563-574 includes numerous waste materials from a bone pin production site,
based on archaeozoological results. I have no idea, whether this might be
of use.

Sincerly
Kordula

> I have a very large Roman deposit of chopped up long bones from making

> everything from large proximal and distal ends down to broken-off hexagonal
> offcuts. It is a rural site, but very close to a Roman town in southern
> England.
