>Hello everyone,
>
>I wanted to thank the numerous people who responded to my query regarding
>hawks' bells.  As a means of expressing my appreciation, I am including a
>small bibliography of the most useful sources I have come across for my
>research.  My particular angle for the paper was to examine hawks' bells
>and their various uses in European contexts (in the nobleman's art of
>falconry), in trading contexts (as commodities used in the interaction
>between Native Americans and Europeans), and in Native American contexts
>(as ornamental objects often used in ceremonial activities).  The list
>below is limited to sources I had access to: many people suggested works
>that I could not lay my hands on, thus this bibliography is by no means
>comprehensive.

>Thanks again,
