Dear Julie,
There is an experimental study of the properties of bone as fuel from an
archaeological perspective in an ICAZ proceedings volume I edited that should
be out later this year:
Isabelle Théry-Parisot
Bone Combustible Properties: Experimental and Ethnological Studies
in
The zooarchaeology of fats, oils, milk and dairying
edited by Jacqui Mulville and Alan K Outram
(Oxbow Books 2005)
Regards,
Alan Outram.

as fuel? I have found modern references for bones being used as fuel, but no
proper archaeological evidence for it so far.
