Risch 1989 argues that the potsherd, together with some more typically Raetic objects with scratchings found at Ardez and Schuls, belongs in Frizens-Sanzeno-context and should therefore be considered part of the Raetic corpus. Pellegrini 1985: 98, n. 14 remains sceptical. As, archaeologically, Ardez lies in an area of interference between a number of cultural horizons considered Raetic and/or Celtic, and the two identifiable letters are not decisive palaeographically, an attribution to Raetic is not unassailable. Generally speaking, properly inscribed pottery (as opposed to quasi-script scratchings on Sanzeno bowls and the like) is more typical for the area west of the river Etsch/Adige, usually assigned to the Lepontic (Celtic) corpus. The northernmost Lepontic finds from Graubünden, however, are two gravestones (GR·1 and GR·2).
