[Bonetools] article for red deer age

[trzaska at lineone.net]

Hello Chris,

Enclosed here is a part of our forthcoming chapter on objects and waste from Ipswich excavations, 
due out in 2019, which explains the use of burr measurements for early medieval urban sites. There 
is limited work of the same type on prehistoric assemblages from Grimes Graves and Stonehenge. I 
have added the main references for the early medieval analyses.

Any comments at all about these analyses would be very gratefully received.
