Other cetacean stuff (by me) - both are in themed volumes with many other
papers.
Also Vicky Szabo and I are still working on our morphometrical whalebone
identification website....but we have been a little busy. We intend to put some
of our images up on the web just after easter along with general skeletal
diagrams and some example of our large archaeological assemblages of worked
materia. We hope to bring some of our data to ICAZ and to rope some more people
into providing zooarch info on whales for us.
