Hi Miriam,

addiitonally to Alice' and Steve's suggestions there is Marloes Rijkelijkehuizen's useful guide:
# Rijkelijkhuizen, Marloes J. (2008): Handleiding voor de determinatie van haarde dierlijke materialien – bot gewei ivoor hoorn schildpad balein hoef, Amsterdam

also:
# Espinoza, Edgard O. & Mann, Mary-Jacque (2008): Ivory Identification Guide: An Introduction, Identification Guides for Wildlife Law Enforcement, Ashland OR

# Springate, M. (1997): Identifying Different Types of Ivory

Key texts are MacGregor 1985, Krzyskowska 1990; Penniman, O'Connor 198,  and Choyke and O'Connor's recent volume (e.g. me on antler macroscopic ID, and the York team on ZooMS). All should be in that bibliography.

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.
