Hi all, especially museum curators! Going through a room in the Zoological Museum of the Finnish Museum of Natural History in Helsinki I came across a bone material with no labels, numbers or other hints of where the material belongs to. The bones are well preserved, yellowish to white. The material consists mainly of domestic animals: horse, cattle, pig etc., but there are also some bones of a bear and even humans. The colouring of the human bones is somewhat different, red to brownish. There is also a fragment of a very large bone - the only group I can think of are elephants. Some numbers are written on the bones with a pensil, probably by the analyst. Our gess is that the material war given to prof. Björn Kurtén (or perhaps to prof. Olavi Kalela) in the fifties or sixties to be analysed. If you know anything about this material, please contact me off list. Any hints are welcome. With best regards Pirkko Ukkonen Department of Geology P.O.
