Just a quick word of (possibly self-evident) caution for
non-US based archaeologists on the otherwise excellent
recent suggestions on nail references...

Needless to say, most of these references are for the US,
and may not always be relevant for other parts of the world
where nail technology had a different chronological
development.

I'd hate to think someone was using eastern US nail
chronologies in Melbourne, for example...
