[Bonetools] WBRG website updates May 2026

Sat May 2 18:22:36 CEST 2026

Dear WBRG members,

This month's bonetool is a medieval bone fitting from Essex, which has been sent to the BONETOOLS list in 2022 by Märit Gaimster, who kindly prepared a blog about it:

Here is a final reminder for this months workshop „Engraved bones: Gripping aids, signs, and decorations“, 6th-9th of May 2026 in Berlin:

Also, the online symposium "Worked Shells in the ancient world. Material, use, typology, chronology and contexts will take place on the 20th of May in Izmir:

I would have liked to announce news about the next WBRG meeting scheduled for October 2026 in Osmaniye, Turkey, but so far there is not much to announce. Ayça Gerçek informed us that the conference website will be available from the 27th of April onwards, but so far we did not received an URL. She also mentioned the possibility to shift the meeting into November, which would offer attendees a bit more planning time and it would entangle the schedule overlap with the Roman Period Working Group Meeting in Brussels (7.–10.10.2026). We hope to be able to send more information soon.
