Dear WBRG Group members, we have published a new article on the  
results of traceological analysis of the Subneolithic collection of  
bone artefacts from Šventoji. It is titled:
Frontlets from the south-east coast of the Baltic Sea? Seal craniums  
from Šventoji: a unique clue to understanding the symbolic culture of  
European Middle Holocene hunter-gatherers
And You can find it here:

> The University of Johannesburg is delighted to announce the first  
> call for abstracts for the 14th meeting of the Worked Bone Research

> soil and the first time in the Southern Hemisphere. We hope you will  
> be able to join us next year in making this a memorable meeting.
>
> The abstract submission form can be found on the conference website  
> (www.uj.ac.za/wbrg<http://www.uj.ac.za/wbrg>) and should be  
> submitted by 30 November to the Organising Secretary, Dr Justin  
> Bradfield (wbrg2021 at uj.ac.za<mailto:wbrg2021 at uj.ac.za>).

> The conference is generously funding by the Palaeontological  
> Scientific Trust (PAST<https://www.past.org.za/>), which allows us

>
> We are, of course, cognisant of the fluid situation in the world at  
> the moment and therefore we ask that, when you submit your abstract,  
> you indicate your preferred alternative option, should international  
> travel not be possible next year. South Africa's borders are open  
> and our Covid cases are on a downward trajectory. We are monitoring  
> the situation carefully, here and abroad. The organising committee  
> will make a final determination in March next year, based on the  
> global situation and on the responses in the abstract submission  
> form. We will keep you updated on the conference website. Should the  
> face-to-face meeting go ahead as planned be assured that all  
> Covid-19 protocols will be adhered to.

> We look forward to welcoming you to the University of Johannesburg.
