tusks are very interesting, especially since mine are from the same area, too bad they are not published properly. I presume boar tusks were quite commonly used in
the Bronze Age in Carpathian basin, only are not so abundant in
literature since antler cheek pieces and similar stuff are much more
interesting for publications. <br></div>By
the way, I have antlers very clearly made with metal tools - cut
through completely with a saw - so exclusive use of flint on boar tusks
would be quite interesting.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">thanx again! <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">best, selena<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 March 2016 at 19:27, Alice Choyke <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:choyke@gmail.com" target="_blank">choyke@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">There are quite a few different kinds of objects made from boar tusk (wild or domestic - who can tell?) from the Middle Neolithic on in our region.

Fabre) for the procedings of Belgrade Meso2015 meeting, about technical and functionnal research on tools made from wild boar tusks. It concern Mesolithic tools so, but some elements could interest you (for exemple, we are proposing a typology of these tools). You can find the poster presented at Belgrade on my Academia page. More information are in my thesis (on Academia too).</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Concerning precisely Bronze Age split wild boar tusk tools, I'm afraid I don't have a lot of information... In France, this kind of tools seems to disapear during Neolithic period. You can fin more information about Neolithic tools on Y. Maigrot thesis, or, in english, in her paper: Maigrot, Y. (2001). Technical und functional study of ethnographic (Irian Jaya, Indonesia) and archaeological (Chalain and Clairvaux, Jura, France, 30th century BC) tools made from split boar tusk.

Don't hesitate to ask if you want a pdf. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I am particularly interested in these artefacts. As far as I know, in France, these tools are unknown before the Early Mesolithic, even if wild boar is present in older faunal remains. Then, during the Mesolithic, same type of artefacts is known on a wide area, from Britain to Switzerland and the use of split wild boar canine is known in North Europe (see E. David thesis). Then, they seem to disappeared in France during the Neolithic. But wild boar tusk still used as personal ornement, until Celtic times. I'm actually looking all information about Pre- and Protohistoric use of wild boar canine. The idea of a geographical and chronological large synthesis knocking around my head for a while.

They usually have traces of scraping on the inner surfaces, but I am not able to distinguish the usewear on the enamel (outer surfaces). Presumably, most of the tusks were just split and then more-less crescent-shaped pieces were used for scraping, however, any help is most welcome. In particular, does anyone know any large assemblage of boar tusk tools from this period, and has anyone conducted experiments on boar tusks to distinguish manufacturing traces made by flint and by bronze tool? <br><br></div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Thanks in advance! <br><br></div><div style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">best regards, Selena <br clear="all"></div><br>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Selena Vitezović <br></div><div>Arheološki institut <br></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ai.ac.rs/" target="_blank">www.ai.ac.rs</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
