colleagues and list members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>I am
writing a paper about roman bone amulets and pendants discovered at Stobi in R.
of Macedonia. I struggle finding anything published elsewhere specifically for
3 items of the same type. All of them comes from burials, two of which from
cremations. Please have a look at the attached photo. Any comments or
references about these or similar items will be gratefully received.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Furthermore,
the paper includes amulets of the type “Hercules club”,
“Phallic amulets” and perforated boar tusks, similar of which, are
more or less present in catalogues of various publications. But, I would
appreciate greatly if you can share any pdf./e-book in which such items are
being discussed additionally (function/origin/manufacture/development). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
