[Bonetools] Help to identify the raw material of an artefact

[Miriam Luciañez Triviño]

Dear all, 

I hope I am writing on the right e-mail address. 

First of all I want to introduce myself: I am a PhD researcher at the
University of Seville. My research is focused on the manufacture, use
and exchange of ivory objects in Iberian Chalcolithic period. Currently,
I am studying a set of artefacts from the Chalcolithic  settlement of
Valencina de la Concepción. 

I would like to make you two querys: 

- Is there any publication (article or monograph) in which a synthesis
of the macroscopic features of different osseous materials is made?
(those characteristics of the raw material we could see between 10 and
100X) 

- Could anybody help me to identify the raw material of the piece
attached in the files? I am_ a little bit lost _with it, because I am
not able to identify the "most characteristic" features of some of the
osseous tissues and I see others that I cannot explain very well... 

Thank you in advance. 

Bests, 

Miriam
