[Bonetools] tools made on bird bones

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Dale,
      Kristiina Mannermaa has written about grave finds of panpipe like
bird diaphyses from the Mesolithic of Finland. There are also a publication
on  flutes from Golden eagle ulna from Medieval Hungary written by Erika
Gál. There should be q number such - 'flute' publications as well as on the
ubiquitous 'needle cases' which appear sporadically in the bone tool
literature but usually without species or even skeletal
 element identifications.

Best,
Alice
