<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>I hope I am writing on the right e-mail address.</p>
<p>First of all I want to introduce myself: I am a PhD researcher at the University of Seville. My research is focused on the manufacture, use and exchange of ivory objects in Iberian Chalcolithic period. Currently, I am studying a set of artefacts from the Chalcolithic settlement of Valencina de la Concepción.</p>
<p>I would like to make you two querys:</p>
<p>- Is there any publication (article or monograph) in which a synthesis of the macroscopic features of different osseous materials is made? (those characteristics of the raw material we could see between 10 and 100X)</p>
<p>- Could anybody help me to identify the raw material of the piece attached in the files? I am<em> a little bit lost </em>with it, because I am not able to identify the "most characteristic" features of some of the osseous tissues and I see others that I cannot explain very well...</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Bests,</p>
<p>Miriam</p>
