Animal remains, ivory, boar, tusk, amulet
An amulet made from a perforated boar's tusk. Pierced tusks are sometimes found in funerary contexts of Anglo-Saxon date (Guido 1979, 296). Other pierced teeth, usually dogs' incisors, are found on Roman sites, for example, in a Neronian context from Baldock (Stead and Rigby 1986, p.166, no. 676, fig. 72).
