[Bonetools] Early-Med Bone Keys

[Steve Ashby]

Hi all,

I have a PhD student working on keys from early-medieval contexts
(primarily metals), but she has come across several examples of bone keys.
Is anyone aware of a good synthesis of these, or of any nice examples we
might be unaware of?

The issue emerges from a possible example from (I think) West Stow, and we
also know of a whalebone tumbler key from North Ronaldsay (Orkney). Anyone
aware of examples from (for instance) Hedeby, Birka, Southampton, Ipswich?

Thanks in advance.

Steve
