I received the following message from our colleague Olivier Putelat. Any suggestions as to what this might be. We both agree this is made from wild boar tusk but otherwise...?<br><br>Alice<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Chère Alice, j’ai rencontré hier Monsieur François
Poplin. Je souhaitais lui demander son avis au sujet d’un artefact en
ivoire. L’objet (document attaché) provient d’un site alsacien daté
du Bronze final. Il est très probablement réalisé dans une canine inférieure de
sanglier (<i><span style="font-style: italic;">Sus scrofa scrofa</span></i>). J’avais
initialement pensé à un mors de cheval, puis écarté cette idée en fonction des
petites dimensions de l’objet. <br></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">En remerciant par avance de votre réponse et avec mes
sincères salutations. Olivier. </span></font></p>
