[Bonetools] Three questions

[Christian Gates St-Pierre]

Hello everyone,
I have three questions for the price of one!
First: does anyone know about some use-wear analysis on bone tools made out of beaver incisors? (beside Parmigiani & Alvarez-Soncini [2014], of which I already have a copy).
Second: does anyone have a pdf copy of the following (it is not available through our network of North American university libraries, and I can't find it on the web): Pétrequin & Rachez (1997), «Un biseau naturel: l'incisive de castor», in Les sites littoraux néolithqiues de Clarivaux et de Chalain (Jura), III, Chalain station 3, 3200-2900 av. J.C. (published by the Maison des sciences de l'Homme, in Paris)?
Third: does anyone know about some recent publications dealing with the use of heat (fire) as a technique of hardening (and darkening) bone materials/bone tools, especially in opposition to the total carbonisation of bones which will have the opposing effect (i.e. weakening the bone structure and triggering it's fragmentation)? I know of some «old» references (pre-year 2000), but I was wondering if there was some more recent publications on this precise subject?

Any help regarding anyone of these queries would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays to all!

Christian
