[Bonetools] prehistoric fishing implements

[Mihaela Savu]

Dear Selena,

Thank you for replying and for the article. I have already read it, 
though, and I am in need of more details regarding the organizational 
part, prior to the experimental work. I also know some of Emanuela 
Cristiani's work, and I will consider your suggestion to contact her 
about this.
Many thanks and good luck with your work too!

Best,

Mihaela
