[Bonetools] Mammoth tusk as raw material in Roman times?

[trzaska at lineone.net]

This would need to be checked but I think I am right in believing that a merovingian object from 
Frankfurt Dom was also thought to be mammoth ivory:

Identifizierung und Differenzierung von Elfenbein am Bespiel des merowingerzeitlichen 
Grabfundes 

aus dem Frankfurter Dom, Archäologisches Korrespondenzblatt 25, 143-7



>From a secure context as well I think, but is it actually mammoth ?
