Dear Vesna

  It sounds like you are way ahead on this project! Probably the best
way forward would be for me to just add to your work. If you can send
me the powerpoint and any related materials I will add in the N
Atlantic material and anything else that I can think of (I think I have
first geneation Boessneck imgages) and send it back for your
revisions- this sounds like it should be your project. I have gotten a
number of messages from people interested in the project (just O/C
would be really useful) and I think you could get lots of takers for the
final product- I will be happy to spread the word here. I'll send you
some reports and digital images on CD. I'm afraid our bear specimen
is an adult (who seems to have had a hard life, lots of trauma and
arthritic lesions), but I suspect that the best place for polar bears of
all ages (and an excellent collection of arctic species generally) is the
Zoologiske Museum of the U Copenhagen (Kim Aaris Sorensen and
Jeppe Mohl would be good contacts).

  We are also working on scanning our bird collection (mainly N
Atlantic) and will be glad to supply images to anyone (jpegs unless
you ask for something else)

Best
Tom

PowerPoint presentation, My idea is to make identification easier, so
that I don't have to "jump" constantly and look through books and
papers over and over again. It should be also a very
useful "reminder" where to look. My ambition is to "cover" teeth and
bones of , let's say "common species of European prehistory". Until
now, I have been dealing with Ovis/Capra at the most. I have taken
drawings and explanations from the "classics": Boessneck, Prummel
and Gromova (unfortunately, I had to scan photocopies of papers
because I don't have originals; as a consequence, some pictures are
dirty). I scanned bones from my collection too, but drawings are
usually more explicit.

but also digitalized papers useful for this kind of job.
