Dear all,
    Here is my rather inexpertly scanned copy of this very useful volume.

Dear Josje,
I do not have a pdf myself and would be very grateful for a copy if someone has one, as it would be useful to have.

I recently saw a very fine example of an (unpublished) knucklebone floor at Uppark, a very elegant National Trust Georgian house in Sussex. Well worth a visit if you are in Britain. It is the floor of an external Game Larder and was not in very good condition when I saw it, but the curator said that they were going to do something about conserving it.

I will forward your email to ZOOARCH, as it is likely that other people know of more examples that have come to light since 1989.

Yours
Dale

Subject: [Bonetools] Knucklebone floors

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have a pdf of the book "Diet and crafts in towns: the evidence of animal remains from the Roman to the post-medieval periods" by Dale Serjeantson and Tony Waldron (1989)? There are some references in there about so-called "knucklebone floors", a phenomenon we encounter quite often in Hoorn (NL), but seems to be quite rare in the rest of the Netherlands. I have heard about a few in London, though.
If anyone knows more about these knucklebone floors, or has the publication by Serjeantson and Waldron, I would be very grateful!

Thanks in advance,

Josje
