[Christian Küchelmann]

Dear colleagues,

for anybody concerned with or interested in bone skates the recent publication of Edberg & Karlsson (2015) about the skates from Birka and Sigtuna, Sweden, is a definitve must. The authors analysed the vast amount of 697 skates from the viking age and middle ages. Here are the details and download address:
