Another probable elephant ivory ring from an early Anglo-Saxon bag, found at Ruskington, Lincolnshire; now in @collectionusher.pic.twitter.com/VlmfK9Dina
@caitlinrgreen @ChesterArchSoc Interesting how we don't yet know from which animal(s) the ivory comes. When will we know?
@History_Hunters @ChesterArchSoc More recent scientific analyses supports use of elephant ivory in this era :) eg http://research.historicengland.org.uk/redirect.aspx?id=5379%7COrganic%20Material%20Associated%20with%20Metalwork%20from%20the%20Anglo-Saxon%20Cemetery%20at%20Mount%20Pleasant,%20Kent …
@caitlinrgreen @ChesterArchSoc Aha :) That's great! Though now it's a puzzle; expect Roman Britain to have African ivory, but later Britain?
will undoubtedly be continental trade links, but why so few through Thames Valley, Essex, Hants?
