[Bonetools] passing on the question

[איתן איילון]

Dear friends,

At least one similar piece was found in the Chalcolithic assemblage from Nahal Qana Cave, Israel (along with, inter alia, 4 rare gold rings!), published in a book by Avi Gopher and Tsvika Tsuk which won't be difficult to find.

John Gorczyk from Cornell University in the States (jmg433 at cornell.edu<mailto:jmg433 at cornell.edu>) has asked me to pass on this query. As always please respond to the list  and directly to John's email (see above) as well.

A friend of mine is working on her BA thesis on hippo tusk artifacts from Nahal Mishmar. These tusks have numerous perforations all along the length of the tusk fragment (see link below). She's having difficulty finding other examples of such artifacts, and I told her I'd send the question out to the zooarch community. Does anyone know of other examples of, or publications about, these artifacts? Thanks!!

Here's what they look like:
