material. In Serjeantson, D. and Waldron, T. (eds) Diet and Craft in Towns.

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Building with Bones
Dear All
Does anybody know of anything written on the use of bones in architecture?
I am thinking specifically of the use of animals bones as decorative, or
non-structural elements in buildings, although anything on the subject
(including whalebone houses) would be most useful.
Don't be shy: I'm desperate!
