Dear Selena,
There are some slightly older (Bell Beaker) boar tusk (Sus scrofa, Sus
scrofa f. domestica) tools from Poland. They are interpreted as retouchers
and come from sepulchral context - I know of two such items from two BB
sites in SE Poland: Beradz, grave no. 5 and Samborzec, grave no. 3. They
were published in: Budziszewski, J., Wlodarczak, P. 2010. Kultura pucharow
dzwonowatych na Wyzynie Malopolskiej. Cracow: Institute of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences.
I have it scanned but the file is quite heavy, so I can send it to you by
e-mail or share via GoogleDrive if you're interested.
All the best,
Kinga
