<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="">I am forwarding you a query from our colleague, Dr
<span class="" style="">Sofija</span> <span class="" style="">Petkovic</span>
from the Institute of Archaeology in Belgrade. She is
analysing an object made of the mammoth tusk, found in <span
class="" style="">Romuliana</span> (Serbia), that dates back
to the Roman period. The object is fragmented and it
represents an elephant's head done in a relief. The function
of this item is unclear, but it was probably an application
for some kind of furniture or sarcophagi, etc.. </div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">She is wondering weather anyone has ever
identified a mammoth tusk as raw material in Roman period?!</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">Anyway, she is going to publish this object soon!</div>
<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">Thank you very much,</div>
<div style="">best wishes,</div>
