Armitage, P.L. 1989. The use of animal bones as building material in post-medieval Britain. In D. Serjeantson and T. Waldron (eds.), Diet and Crafts in Towns. The evidence of animal remains from the Roman to the Post-Medieval periods, pp. 147-160. Oxford BAR British Series 199.
The gazetteer can be found from pages 201-223 in the same volume. Apparently, they were particularly popular in Oxford, but that's about as far west as the sites within it go - although no doubt there have been more of such floors excavated/identified since this was published.

> Just had a query from our field team asking if we know of any knuckle bone floors (knuckle bones being the material making up the floor surface) within Worcestershire. We certainly don't have that we know of, does anyone else have any evidence for any, especially within the West Midlands.
