[Bonetools] Support for Sheffield Archaeology department against threat of closure

[Hans Christian Küchelmann]

Dear WBRG-members,

most of you will probably have heard already the discouraging news that the Sheffield archaeology department – one of the steady guarantees for high level archaeozoological research and education for decades –   is facing threat of getting closed down. They are in need of support of any kind and it is urgent since the decision is due on Tuesday 25th of May. 

Anybody willing to support them, please consider sending personal or institutional letters to the university administration or raise support of any kind.
