Dear Colleagues I have just received the request below from a student. If anyone is able to help, I should be grateful if you could let me have any references etc. Annie Grant My title is; Fossils; How ancient cultures interpreted and used them. What I am researching are occurences of fossils turning up in archaeological contexts, where they have been either used to make jewellry, or used in some ritual practice, or modified in some way. I'm having a lot of difficulty getting hold of relatively recent, preferably unpublished sites, where such things have been found. I was just wondering whether you had come across any such occurences when looking at archaeological sites, or if you new of anyone who would have access to this kind of information. I know Im going out on a limb here,but I thought Id try asking.
