<div>Dear Gun-Britt,</div>
<div> The entire Nagy article is in Hungarian and I only have a copy in Word format (Margit gave it to me in this form). However, I will see if I cannot get a xerox copy to scan next time I am at the museum. It is the year book of the Zalai county museums. If you don't hear from me soon write me a letter to remind me!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Alice<br><br></div>

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">And thanks for sharing this wonderful article! As I read, I came upon the mentioning of ritualistic horse burials without a horse, from the migration period. I am presently writing about horses, so I wonder if you possibly could contribute with some more specifics on those graves? The reference in your article page 207 is made to Nagy 2005, pp 103-104. Do you have this book? Is there a chance you could copy those two pages and send me? I would greatly appreciate it.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Arial">And so you know it, I <em>will </em>use your article as part of my references. </font></div>

<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>

Hein, <em>Bestial Mirrors: Animals as Material Culture in the Middle Ages</em> - 3. Vienna: VIAVIAS,46-54. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>and Olivier Putelet has an article that includes a Merovigian beaver amulet grave find.</div>
