<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Dear list members,<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">this<b class=""> month's bonetools</b> are two Bronze Age perforated long bone sections found near Toledo, sent as a request to the list by Marta Moreno Garcia last December.</div><div class=""><a href="https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/" class="">https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/</a></div><div class="">Suggestions about function, comparative items, etc. would still be welcome.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Since October 2010 every month a new bonetool has been added to the WBRG website, which sums up to a substantial amount of 130 items at present. Already a couple of years ago I felt that I am losing the overview and to avoid double entries I listed all bonetools shown so far in a table. Alice Choyke suggested to put the list online, since it maybe of interest for others as well. This list of<b class=""> bonetools of the month 2010-202</b>1 is now available for download at the bottom of the „Bonetool of the month Archives:</div><div class=""><a href="https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/" class="">https://www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-the-month-archives/</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.wbrg.net/wp-content/uploads/Bonetools-of-the-month-2010-2021.pdf" class="">https://www.wbrg.net/wp-content/uploads/Bonetools-of-the-month-2010-2021.pdf</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I try to keep a variety regarding geographical, cultural and chronological provenance of the bone artefacts shown as bonetool of the month, but as you can see from the table, the list is still very much Europe centered. Therefore, I would like to encourage especially colleagues working in other parts of the world to send me bone artefacts for this purpose. It doesn’t have to be a big or elaborated thing. Just some pictures and a few context information like find location, context, dating, raw material, related publications, etc. will do.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">New <b class="">websites</b> linked to the directory of bone workers (<a href="https://www.wbrg.net/links/bone-workers/" class="">https://www.wbrg.net/links/bone-workers/</a>):</div><div class=""># Martin Lominy • Aboriginal Technologies (Montreal, Canada): <a href="https://www.abotec.ca/" class="">https://www.abotec.ca/</a></div><div class=""># Greg Stradiotto • Netsuke Carving (USA): <a href="https://www.greggstradiotto.com" class="">https://www.greggstradiotto.com</a></div><div class=""># Edith Exo • bone flutes (Wischhafen, Germany): <a href="http://www.knochenfloeten.de/" class="">http://www.knochenfloeten.de/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The list of bone workers is also still very much biased by my personal contacts and thus towards German and Northern European artisans. I am sure there are many more out in the world. So, if you happen to come across any bone workers, who have at least a website, please let me know. The directory would benefit from a geographical broadening.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><b class="">References</b> added to the database:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""># Alt, Kurt W. / Bücker, Ch. / Newesely, H.
