[Bonetools] Bone combs

[Steve Ashby]

Dear Maja,

This is a huge subject with lots of literature on it.  May I recommend:

Ambrosiani, K. 1981. *Viking Age Combs, Comb Making and Comb Makers in the
Light of Finds from Birka and Ribe. Stockholm Studies in Archaeology 2*.
Stockholm: Almqvist and Wiksell.

MacGregor, A. 1985. *Bone, Antler, Ivory and Horn: The Technology of
Skeletal Materials Since the Roman Period*. London: Croom Helm.
