<DIV>Dear Dr.Olsen</DIV>
<DIV>Again, just another thank you for the copies of the chapter, pdf's -- I've
particularly found the Ch 6 interview material very interesting, especially
regarding positioning and the rib info. I will have to check for this - just to
clarify, this refers to rib 1, not rib 17/18, yes? Unfortunately the rib
preservation is not the best with the material I've looked at. There were no
questions regarding anyone being buried with horses or sacrificial animals
rather than consumed animals? It was quite interesting that none of these
consumed animals are stallions. The human-horse burials I'm looking at appear
pretty much exclusively male, possibly intact. The material with butchery
evidence, probably feasting material, does seem to include female animals.</DIV>
