Dear Miriam, 
I would suggest former Hull Maritime Museum curator Arthur Credland as a useful contact; probably more so than his successors in that or related posts. Hull held a good scrimshaw collection, and I would expect Arthur to be well-informed as to its context, 
Hope this helps! 
Best wishes, 
Martin

Dear colleagues, 
although several weeks late, I wish you a happy 2023! 
this time I am writing to you looking for help with the following: 
I am looking for references to techniques, ways or forms of whale tooth extraction . Any reference to the general ways of working and tools , and use/meaning, of whale teeth in any period (archaeo and ethno), is also very welcome. 
Does anyone have experience with this subject? recommended bibliography? At this point I don't care about the chronology, anything goes. 
I have a sperm whale tooth presumably from the II or III millennium B.C. (we haven't been able to date it yet) with clear tool marks, but due to its arrangement and stigmata, I can't interpret its origin. The tooth is not complete, in fact I would say that about 30-40% of the proximal area may be missing, and the marks are precisely in the transverse fracture, so my first impression is that they could be marks for 1) extracting the tooth from the jaw or 2) dividing the tooth into two parts for manipulation. 
Any help would be more than welcome. 
Please help! :) ahaha 
Bests, 
Miriam
