<p>Hello All,</p>
<p>I wonder if any one can point me in the direction of any
references to sheep/goat metapodials with markings like those seen
in the link here:</p>
<p><a class="m_-5993666341171609353moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://trendlesproject.com/2013/03/23/while-sorting-through-the-animal-bones/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://trendlesproject.com/2013/03/23/while-sorting-through-the-animal-bones/</a></p>
<p>I have a small collection of these from a Roman site in England
and am intrigued to know what they may have been used for. Mine
are slightly polished on the lateral and medial surfaces and have
little groups of parallel grooves also on the lateral and medial
and usually near to the proximal end. <br>
</p>
<p>Many thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Julia<br>
