<br>
I am currently working on a MA thesis dealing with knucklebones (astragalus dice) from archaeological contexts in Syro-Palestine. Part of this research requires that I compare the number of astragali (of sheep, goat, cattle, pigs, and a variety of wild ungulates) with the number of calcanei from the same species separated by time period. Data on the numbers of specific bone types is rarely published in reports. Nonetheless, this data (if enough is available) would greatly enhance my thesis. If anyone has access to faunal data from sites in Syro-Palestine, East Mediterranean, Egypt or Mesopotamia and is willing to share I would be very grateful. My thesis deals with the Neolithic through Byzantine periods.<br>

Best,<br>
