[Bonetools] smoothed horse radius

[Bev Thurber]

Hi Silvia,

I agree with Alice that your object is a good candidate for the
question-mark class of skate-like artifacts. It would be great to see all
of these published!

I can confirm that the Prellenkirchen skate is mentioned in *Skates Made of
Bone*—but only briefly. Here are a few references that seem relevant:

   Marks and Anthropic Modifications on Horse Remains in a Late Bronze Age

   Science: Reports 9 (2016): 477, doi:10.1016/j.jasrep.2016.08.031.

   produttive e i resti faunistici, edited by Paolo Càssola Guida, Silvia
   Pettarin, Gabriella Petrucci, and Alessandra ­Giumlia-Mair, 2.2:­139–179.
   Pozzuolo del Friuli. Rome: Edizioni Quasar di Severino Tognon s.r.l., 1998.

I have pdfs if you need them.
