[Bonetools] WBRG website updates

[Dr J.H. Barrett]

Hi Christian and Jan,

Many apologies for saying what you probably know far better than I, but there is a useful catalogue of similar finds at the end of the following article.

den Hartog, E. (2012), 'On six Danish knife handles or hair parters shaped like falconers', By marsk og geest 24 (2012), 5-27

Best wishes,

James
