[Bonetools] references on working (walrus) ivory?

Hi Amy,

Claire Houmard"s work is focused on these problematics and you should find
lots of interesting things in it.
This work concerns Arctic and Paleoesquimo Cultures and is quite new.

As I don't know if she receives the mails from our list, I give you her
address so that you can ask her for papers.

Cheers, Isabelle
