[Bonetools] Dama dama antler artefacts

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Selena,
*       Dama dama *is almost nonexistent in Hungary even as imports in the
Roman and medieval periods and totally absent in prehistory. Don't forget
that *Cervus elaphus* can produce some extravagantly palmate crown antler
that looks very fallow deerish.  I would be willing to bet that only
something like Zooms could help since DNA is probably out of the financial
picture and I am unaware of any morphological study of differences between
red deer and fallow deer antler that I believe in.

Best,
Alice
