[Bonetools] Bonetools Digest, Vol 119, Issue 24

Fri Feb 19 10:01:49 CET 2016

Dear bonetoolers, 

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I already knew and had read
some of the references, but not others. Thanks a lot, they will be
really useful. My main problem (and as I have read, the main problem for
all) is the small size of the artefacts or fragments, and highly
human-modificated and bad preserved surfaces. Many times it is
impossible to recognise the characteristic of the raw material so I
always have (some) doubts... 

I want to thank you, again, for your help.
Bests,
Miriam

>> Hi Miriam,

>> Apologies - on my phone, but there is lots written on this; check out the WBRG webpage's bibliography. Key texts are MacGregor 1985, Krzyskowska 1990; Penniman, O'Connor 198,  and Choyke and O'Connor's recent volume (e.g. me on antler macroscopic ID, and the York team on ZooMS). All should be in that bibliography.
