Dear Zooarchs, Is there by any chance a miraculous, quick and easy way to clean fish bones that have already been filleted? The head is likely to have been removed so it will probably be just the spinal column and tail. I'm hoping of a solution that will allow me to process on a large scale (50 to a 100 specimens) and dermestid beetles are not an option. Many thanks for your help Edouard ----------------------------------------------------- Edouard Masson-MacLean PhD Candidate Room 119 Department of Archaeology School of Geosciences University of Aberdeen St. Mary's, Elphinstone Road Aberdeen, AB24 3UF Scotland, UK
