Thu Nov 5 21:33:48 CET 2020

Dear Worked Bone Research Group,

The most important update this month is a new page for the upcoming 14th WBRG meeting in Johannesburg in 2021, which contains the 1st call for abstracts. The page is accessible at
https://www.wbrg.net/meetings/14th-meeting-johannesburg-2021/
Please send your abstracts until the 30th of November 2020 to Justin Bradfield via wbrg2021 at uj.ac.za.
The page also contains also the link to the meeting website at http://www.uj.ac.za/wbrg.

This month’s bonetool is a beautifully decorated antler object of yet unknown function found in Olomuec, Czech Republic. 
https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/
Renáta Přichystalová would still be grateful for comparative items and suggestions of a possible function. If you have any suggestions, please get in touch with her at svecova at phil.muni.cz.
