If you are dealing with late Roman/late <br>antique material then Isabelle Bertrand's edited volume Le travail de l'os, du bois de cerf et de <br>la corne a l'epoque romaine (Monographies Instrumentum 34, Editions Monique Mergoil, is also <br>indispensable. And here are a couple of my own works that deal specifically with waste materials. <br>I'm just finishing a 25,000 word chapter on Comb Making on Dublin High Street in the late 12th <br>century and will put that on to the website as a rough draft in a week or so.<br><br><br><br>Ulbricht, I., 1978 <br><br>Die Geweihverarbeitung in Haithabu, Die Ausgrabungen in Haithabu Band 7, Neumünster<br><br><br><br>Ulbricht, I., 1984 <br><br>Die Verarbeitung von Knochen, Geweih und Horn im mittelalterlichen Schleswig, <br><br>Ausgrabungen in Schleswig.
