[Bonetools] comparisons for walrus ivory object?

[Sabine Sten]

Dear James,
I have not seen these object in walrus ivory before, but for your information I found walrus skulls in the Viking Age bone material in Kiev, Ukraine. The walrus skulls shows trading with tusks. A few years ago when I was in Kiev and had lectures in osteology for archaeology students I also analysed animal bones from Viking Age Kiev. 

I take the opportunity to attach a 4-year PhD-fellowship in archaeology (with osteological material) is available with the Joint Proxies Research Group at the  Institute of Archaeology and Social Anthropology, UiT - The Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø. The application deadline is 18 August 2016. Please circulate the attached announcement in your department.

//Greetings from Sabine

Dear colleagues,

May I ask if anyone knows of a comparison for the attached object of walrus ivory? It's from a 12th century context in Novgorod.

Many thanks and best wishes,

James
