[Bonetools] Bone skates - Historical Fen skating

[Pajx]

Hi all bone skate enthusiasts!


I happened to run across a possible historical (and current) practice of skating which might be of interest to bone skate researchers. 
Fen skating
www.fenskating.co.uk


It seems to tie in well with the distribution of skates in the UK and continues to have international enthusiasts, particularly in NW Europe. google search brings up some interesting sources and photos. While the modern skates seem to be wood and metal, shape comparisons would be interesting.


It may be all of you interested in bone skates already know about fen skating, but I certainly had missed it!


very best
Pam

Dear colleagues, you can find some informations about bone skates  ("patins à
glace") in France (especially in Alsace) during the Late Antiquity in my PhD (on
line, chap. 2.5.5.1)

« Les relations homme-animal dans le monde des vivants
et des morts. Étude archéozoologique des établissements et des regroupements
funéraires ruraux de l’Arc jurassien et de la Plaine d’Alsace, de la fin de
l’Antiquité tardive au premier Moyen Âge ». DOI:
