<div dir="ltr">Hi Marloes,<div><br></div><div>Heidi Luik is good on crossbow nuts. I think Arthur MacGregor published a few pieces in the 70s and 80s too. See his 'Bone, Antler, Ivory, and Horn' for refs.<div><br>

<div><div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br> <br>Two questions:<br> <br>- Does anyone has any references or datings for medieval antler crossbow nuts?<br> <br>- Objects like the attached picture are often described as flee/licecatchers. It is said that inside a cotton ball with honey and blood was put to trap the flees/lice. It was hung on a dress or put inside a wig. Does anyone have references for these items or for this explanation?<br>
