[Bonetools] WBRG website updates January 2024

Wed Jan 3 10:12:10 CET 2024

Dear WBRG members,

This month’s bonetool is a container of yet not completely solved function found by Charlie Dixon on the banks of the river Thames:
https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/ <https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/>
A discussion on this interesting and peculiar object would still be welcome.

The page for the 15th WBRG meeting in Paris (13.-17. May 2024) has been updated with the information sent by Marianne Christensen and Nejma Goutas in their recent 3rd circular:
https://www.wbrg.net/meetings/15th-meeting-paris-2024/ <https://www.wbrg.net/meetings/15th-meeting-paris-2024/>
On behalf of Marianne Christensen and Nejma Goutas I would like to remind everybody interested to register until the 10th of January for the 15th WBRG-Meeting in Paris from the 13th May to 17th May 2024. You will find all necessary information here:
https://wbrg-2024.sciencesconf.org/registration <https://wbrg-2024.sciencesconf.org/registration>
https://wbrg-2024.sciencesconf.org/ <https://wbrg-2024.sciencesconf.org/>

The instagram page of artist and ivory carver Vero Schmolinski has been added to the links to bone workers:

https://www.wbrg.net/links/bone-workers/ <https://www.wbrg.net/links/bone-workers/>

I recently realised by chance that the link to the WBRG Facebook group on the Mailing list page actually did lead to the Facebook page of the ICAZ Archaeomalacology Working Group (AMWG). This is repaired now: 
https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-mailing-list/ <https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-mailing-list/>
The correct link to the WBRG Facebook group is
https://www.facebook.com/groups/267678736761587/ <https://www.facebook.com/groups/267678736761587/>
