[Bonetools] WBRG Website updates 1 / 2022

Wed Jan 5 14:45:28 CET 2022

Dear WBRG members,

first of all, a happy and healthy new year to all of you. 

This month’s featured bonetool is a beautifully and lively carved handle of a 18th-19th century walking stick showing a greyhound. A nice symbol for the beginning of a new year, I think. It was found by Arjan Hullegie in a Dutch village:

If you do have ideas and examples for future bonetools of the month, please send them to me. I still do have some artefacts in stock for the upcoming months, but I would like to expand the geographical and chronological variety. Particularly artefacts from outside of Europe are still underrepresented and would be welcome.

The publication of the proceedings of the 2019 Meeting in Montréal has been added to the „Meeting" and „About" pages:
https://www.wbrg.net/meetings/13th-meeting-montreal-2019/ <https://www.wbrg.net/meetings/13th-meeting-montreal-2019/>
https://www.wbrg.net/about/ <https://www.wbrg.net/about/>
The individual articles of the book are not yet included. I will add the table of contents to the Montréal page and the articles to the reference database in the forthcoming months. 

Three sessions related to worked bone will be held at the 28th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) 31.8.-3.9.2022 in Budapest:

Artist Ella Einhell recently got in touch with me about some questions related to boneworking. She did some interesting studies employing bone as raw material for contemporary arts and design and in technical processes. Among other things this resulted in her bachelor thesis now included in the reference database (see below). Ella Einhell is now listed in the directory of bone workers at
