[Bonetools] WBRG website updates

[Christian Küchelmann]

Dear Sonia,

sorry that my answer took so long, but your question could still not be solved. If you go to the website of the Iceland archive, which includes a page for the compass (see http://www.sarpur.is/Adfang.aspx?AdfangID=339924 <http://www.sarpur.is/Adfang.aspx?AdfangID=339924>) there is a size given as 130 x 89 x 65 cm, which is of course rather unlikely for an ivory object (it reminds me a bit of the Ningi in Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy: a triangular coin with an edge length of 6800 miles…). It is most probably just a typo and the length will be millimeters instead of centimeters. I asked the colleagues at the National Museum in Reykjavik but did not get an answer so far.

I hope you are recovering well from your hospital stay. 

Best

Christian
