[Bonetools] bonze age ivory comb

[corina.liesau at uam.es]

Dear Sonia,
Now it is recently published. Our aim was to publish an ivory workshop  
in Fuente Álamo with other pieces and waste material (raw ivory in  
disks) and to discuss the use of the great variety of ivory during  
Bronze Age. These pieces were identified by Fourier Transform Infrared  
Spectroscopy (FTIR) (the comb) and also the study of the Schreger  
angles where it was possible: C. Liesau y T. Schuhmacher: Un taller de  
marfil en el yacimiento argárico de Fuente Álamo, in:

A.Banerjee, J.A. López Padilla, Th.X. Schuhmacher (Eds.) (2012):  
Elfenbeinstudien. Faszikel 1: Marfil y elefantes en la Península  
Ibérica y el Mediterráneo occidental. Iberia Archaeologica, 16.  
Philipp von Zabern.


INCENTIVS combines different analytical methods: optical microscopy,  
SEM, FTIR, Micro Raman spectroscopy and others. They compare the  
results with a great data bank of recent, fossil species and  
archaeological samples. In this volume A. Banerjee and colleagues  
published their methodology and also the new method with the High  
Resolution Micro-Computer Tomography. (I’m sorry but the German  
Archaeological Institute and Philipp von Zabern do not allow a free  
pdf online distribution of their publications).
