From: Robin Netherton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Marc, I'm the one who brought up the sealskin belt/pad arrangement from Herjolfsnes. There were a few fragments of bast fibers (some pieces of cloth, some microscopic fibers) found in various spots at Herjolfsnes...
I know that we'd discussed this one in the past.
...Lots more about bones, skin, hair, body oils, etc. for people who don't mind wading through 1920s medical terminology translated from the Danish. His descriptions seem sound, though his conclusions are sometimes a bit weird.
I'm just sorry that there was so little opportunity to do more of a study at the time, since it may not have survived even since 1921.
