Dear
William Plant,
I
have now returned from a year’s Research and Study Leave and am catching up
on delayed correspondence. I did indeed receive a copy of Chicken
Bone Recoveries, which was the result of your studies, and have had
occasion since to consult it once or twice, and have a student looking at it
now. Thus we would be most interested to receive your supplement to it, if you
could spare one.
I
did indeed follow in Jim Specht’s footsteps and continued with a further
excavation last year in his site 8 at Watom. The results were very successful.
But I have not yet analysed the bone, though I will this year. We definitely
have more pig, so more chicken would not surprise me. I will let you know in
due course.
With
all best wishes.
Yours
sincerely,
Dr
R.C. Green,
Professor in Prehistory
