Dear All,
Marloes Rijkelijkhuizen recently posted this message on the Bone Tools list. I thought that ZOOARCH members would also be interested in an identification manual for bone, antler, ivory, horn, etc.
To email Marloes, the address is: Marloes Rijkelijkhuizen [mailto:[log in to unmask]]

> Dear all,

> This book will be published in Dutch language. It deals with the structure, properties and identification
> of the above mentioned materials and includes a lot of photographs and microscopical photographs.
> It also includes a short history of the use of these materials in The Netherlands.

> The publisher is thinking about an English version as well.
