<div>Dear Barbara,</div>
<div> Thanks for the PDFs concerning this endlessly interesting
skeletal element! Perhaps this is also the time to remind people
that in addition to the 'classic' caprine astragalus finds there
are amulets made from a variety of astragalii from a number of
species such as beaver, dog and hare (sometimes chained to
carnivore canines), from large swathes of Northern Europe into
Eurasia. I am attaching an article on amulets I published last
year. Heidi Luik also has a wonderful publication on the Iron
Age beaver astragalus amulets from Estonia </div>

<div>and Olivier Putelet has an article that includes a Merovigian
beaver amulet grave find.</div>

He is coming to day, with an ivory problem. I'll show your message
to him (but he received it certainly too).<br>

class="gmail_quote">Good morning everybody!<br>
My name is Barbara Caré, and I am just entering this<br>
mailing list.<br>
I'm very pleased that the first discussion whom I've<br>
attended concerned the "astragali", subjects of my<br>
researches; especially I'm engaged in the study of their<br>
presence in the funeral contexts of the greek world and<br>
I'm also studying their modifications (in particular I've<br>
analysed the finds of the necropolis of Locri Epizefiri<br>
and I'm now analysing other finds coming from other<br>
funeral contexts of Magna Grecia.<br>
I shall be very happy to point out to you some of my works<br>
and in the meanwhile to receive some advices and other<br>
information from your part.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
<br>
Barbara<br>
