</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">I am writing on behalf of a student of mine
(Aitor Brito) from the Canary Islands who hopefully will be
joining the bone list in brief. He is presently working on a
faunal assemblage recovered </span><span lang="EN-GB">from the
Hospital de San Martín, an historic hospital located in the
foundation levels of El Real de Las Palmas (Gran Canaria,
Spain), the first village founded by the Spanish in the late 15<sup>th</sup>
century.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> Chop and cut marks on most
of the faunal remains indicate they are food debris, but there
is a very young caprine metapodial that presents some weird
marks on the lateral side of the diaphysis. I am sorry the
pictures attached are not very good but I hope you would be able
to see what I mean. We are not sure about their origin. Are they
anthropogenic? They do not look like gnawing marks to me. The
spacing between them </span><span lang="EN-GB">and their
morphology are</span><span lang="EN-GB"> quite regular as if
they could have been caused by a tool. We would be very grateful
for any comments or ideas.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB">Best regards,<br>
