<BR>
I'm researching the uses made of horse materials and would appreciate any insight, references, examples (drawings or photos), or interesting sites. <BR>
<BR>
My principal area of research is:<BR>
1. Britain, 1st millennium AD. <BR>
2. Europe and time periods which bracket; Iron Age/pre-15thC. <BR>
<BR>
But if you have info on horse bone use from any time or geography, I'm still interested - particularly ethnographic sources.<BR>
<BR>
I do apologise for my lack of language skills, but I can only read English with ease -- though graphics from any source are always useful and I can manage small amounts of German and Spanish/French.<BR>
<BR>
I'm aware of the work on metapodial skates, and MacGregor 1985.<BR>
<BR>
best regards<BR>
