<p>Dear friends,</p>
<p>At least one similar piece was found in the Chalcolithic assemblage from Nahal Qana Cave, Israel (along with, inter alia, 4 rare gold rings!), published in a book by Avi Gopher and Tsvika Tsuk which won't be difficult to find.</p>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">A friend of mine is working on her BA thesis on hippo tusk artifacts from Nahal Mishmar. These tusks have numerous perforations all along the length of the tusk fragment (see link below). She's having difficulty finding other examples
of such artifacts, and I told her I'd send the question out to the zooarch community. Does anyone know of other examples of, or publications about, these artifacts? Thanks!!</div>
