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 id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_5042" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_5146" 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.

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. It could be a great work in collaboration, for everyone wants !</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_6144" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_6136" dir="ltr">See you and I hope all is well in Belgrade</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_7669" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_7670" dir="ltr">Best !</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4512"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4450" class="signature"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4468" class="qtdSeparateBR"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_5487" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_5486" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_5485" style="font-weight:bold;">Marquebielle Benjamin</span></font></font><br><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4593" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4592" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4591" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4590" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><a id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4589" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://traces.univ-tlse2.fr/accueil-traces/equipes-de-recherche/equipe-1-societes-et-milieux-des-populations-de-chasseurs-cueilleurs-collecteurs/marquebielle-benjamin-56353.kjsp?RH=Societes_traces"><i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4588">Dr associé TRACES-UMR5608</i></a></font></font><br></font></font><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4587" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4586" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4585"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4584" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4583" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4582" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4581" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif">------------------------------------------------------------</font></font></font></font><br></i></font></font><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4448" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4447" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4446"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4445" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><i id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4444">benjamin.marquebielle@yahoo.fr</i></font><br><a id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4461" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://univ-tlse2.academia.edu/BenjaminMarquebielle">univ-tlse2.academia.edu/BenjaminMarquebielle</a></i></font></font><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4453" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4452" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4457" size="2"><font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4456" face="HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><br></font></font></font></font><br><br></div></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4474" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_4473" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;

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 id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_9117" class="yiv1312358328gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">Thanks in advance! <br><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1457974977661_9119" class="yiv1312358328gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms, sans-serif;">best regards, Selena <br clear="all"></div><br>-- <br><div class="yiv1312358328gmail_signature"><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" target="_blank" href="http://www.ai.ac.rs/">www.ai.ac.rs</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
