[Bonetools] Early-Med Bone Keys

[Steve Ashby]

Thanks Ian; that's great.  The Frisian reference is the only one I had
been able to trace, so good to know I am not missing lots somewhere.
And the Brandon example is good to know about; will pass all this on.

Thanks again- knew I could rely on you!

Best

Steve
