<DIV>Etan - would you be willing to send a more detailed account of these
objects to the WBRG webpage and say a little more about the use or even
manufacture wear on these bones. Also a refrence wouldbe nice unless you were
the one collecting the dats. -In that case I hope you publish this soon!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

all,<BR>The 3 astragali were used by the shaman-woman of the Tsatsen (I'm not
sure about the spelling)tribe near Lake Chupsgul, north Mongolia (near the
Siberian border). They raise deers whose astragals are used to tell the
future. The decorated piece of antler is also used by this shaman.<BR>Sorry
for the "left" writing - couldn't fix it.<BR>Etan<BR><BR>-----Original
