[Bonetools] Bone combs

[trzaska at lineone.net]

Hello Maja,

In addition to all of that I would also recommend Ingrid Ulbricht's two monographs and Annick 
Thuet's excellent article in my 2003 edited monograph. If you are dealing with late Roman/late 
antique material then Isabelle Bertrand's edited volume Le travail de l'os, du bois de cerf et de 
la corne a l'epoque romaine (Monographies Instrumentum 34, Editions Monique Mergoil, is also 
indispensable. And here are a couple of my own works that deal specifically with waste materials. 
I'm just finishing a 25,000 word chapter on Comb Making on Dublin High Street in the late 12th 
century and will put that on to the website as a rough draft in a week or so.



Ulbricht, I., 1978 

Die Geweihverarbeitung in Haithabu, Die Ausgrabungen in Haithabu Band 7, Neumünster



Ulbricht, I., 1984 

Die Verarbeitung von Knochen, Geweih und Horn im mittelalterlichen Schleswig, 

Ausgrabungen in Schleswig. Berichte und Studien 3, 

Neumünster



Hope this helps. As Steve says, it is an immense subject nowadays but hopefully you will find 
something in all of these texts,



Ian Riddler
