E.g. Empingham cem, 7 of 9 identified as elephant ivory cut from base of the tusk; same source for ivory on buckle from Mt Pleasant, Kent.

Can you test for elephant vs walrus ivory? Isotopes? DNA tests? Fascinating.

Seems so e.g. dentinal tubules etc Can do DNA+isotopes too :) Not sure anyone's done latter yet though, at least for 5th–7thC?

Really interesting, thank you!
