Dear Martin,
Thank you very much for your promptitude. I would like you to send me a copy of
the mentioned article you wrote. If you are interested, I can send you a paper
of mine wich is in fact an overwiew of the analysis done on roman faunal
samples in Romania. The bad thing is that the article is in romanian, but you
can understand it because it has a quite large summary in English. If you are
interested in some specific articles, please let me know!
Thanks again,
Alex
