Non-script notational systems

Preliminaries

The Raetic corpus at it presents itself today contains a considerable number of "inscriptions", that can – with varying degrees of certainty – be determined not to represent "proper" script in the linguistical sense (i.e., reflecting linguistic units). The vast majority of these, however, must be expected to have a para-linguistic meaning, and should not be completely disregarded. This page collects the correspondent material from the corpus, inscriptions which have been included in editions of Raetic inscriptions, but not in the TIR, as well as diverse testimonies mentioned in the older/archaeological literature. Most of these have been examined at various repositories by the TIR project staff. To facilitate reference, we have attempted a preliminary organisation of the material by assigning all these testimonies the sigla code EX ("excluded"), regardless of their provenance. An introduction presenting options for classification and interpretation of the material will follow in time.

Types of marks and respective objects from Raetic context (geographical/archaeological)

Provenance	Description	Literature	Images	Dating
Himmelreich	Numerous fragments of pottery bearing diverse characters, often on handles and bottoms, ranging from obviously non-script, ornament-like scratchings and symbols to such as might be interpreted as letters (e.g. , ). The finds from the Himmelreich are preserved in the Museum Wattens (EX-81); similar sherds are found throughout the Inn Valley. IT-1 is not an inscription, but belongs with this group.	Sinnhuber 1949, Kasseroler 1957	Drawings in Kasseroler 1957, with a table of signs (pl. 63); photos in Sinnhuber 1949 (pl. XXV)	La Tène period according to the archaeological context
Ganglegg	Besides the inscribed bones and bone points discovered on the Ganglegg hill which are included in the TIR, a large number of objects of the same kind were found (bones: EX-20 to 23, EX-30 (astragalos); bone points: EX-16 to 19, EX-23 to 27). These bear (supposedly) non-script characters the interpretation of which is uncertain. Some of the characters are formally identical with letters (e.g. flanked by a row of vertical scratches). If the bones and bone point are connected to some sort of lot casting practice, they might represent personal marks of the owners. In light of the properly inscribed ones, which appear to bear mainly names, mere decorations are unlikely. The lot are preserved in the Vintschger Museum. An isolated, similar find comes from Sanzeno (EX-35).	Gamper 2006: 142-146	Drawings in Gamper 2006: fig. 76 and 77	3rd-1st centuries BC (by archaeological context)
Marks on helmets	Kosman-Gut: A large number of small fragments of at least seven different helmets of the Negau type; eighteen of them bear marks. Of those, four are included in the Raetic corpus (BZ-26, BZ-27, BZ-28, BZ-29 in descending order regarding the certainty of script character). Of the remaining fourteen, one is believed to belong to the same helmet as the one bearing BZ-26; the single scratch visible is more pronounced than the inscription, cp. maybe the diverse marks occurring on helmets with inscriptions (SL-1 helmet, SL-2 helmet, the Negau helmet A, and the pieces listed below). The other thirteen fragments (EX-66, see photo) display mostly fragmented scratches, sometimes intersecting or forming angles. Some arrangements are clearly non-linear and/or non-script, some indeterminable. No. 69 (second from the right in the second row) might have (cp. BZ-27 and BZ-28); no. 65 (second from the left in the first row) has an asterisk flanked by vertical scratches. Currently an the Amt für Bodendenkmäler Bozen / Ufficio Beni archeologici Bolzano. Ženjak: EX-84, preserved in the KHM Vienna. various: EX-85	Lunz & Morandi 2003: 343 f.		5th–1st c. BC (typology)
Sanzeno I (symbols on iron)	Many heavy iron implements from Sanzeno (apparently a centre of iron workmanship), namely chisels, gouges, ferrules, axe heads, hoes, sickles, scythe rings and knives, bear marks, often in the same spot on the same type of object. The most regularly recurring characters are the asterisk and the sign "a caporale" , registered as "symbols" in the inscriptions in our database. For the associated testimonies from the Raetic corpus see above sub "potential factory marks on iron implements". Mancini included a number of these symbols as new inscriptions in the LIR; according to our policy of concentrating on characters which can be read as letters, these have not been included in the TIR. They are: EX-2 (SA-109), EX-3 (SA-104), EX-4 (SA-105), EX-5 (SA-106) (for all these, see the drawings on this page), EX-6 (SA-112), EX-9 (SA-111), EX-10 (SA-102) and EX-12 (SA-108).	LIR; some already in Nothdurfter 1979	LIR; some already in Nothdurfter 1979
Bostel	In addition to the ceramic beakers bearing language-encoding inscriptions and/or recurring marks, four more beakers (EX-94, EX-95, EX-96, EX-97) and one bowl (EX-98) are inscribed with various scratchings. EX-101, EX-102, EX-103, EX-104 and EX-105 on potsherds (all lost) also belong here; the first three may represent further examples of the iθθi-group. EX-98: Eleven small bones bearing one or two simple marks (e.g. , , ).	MLR 103, 105, 119	Photos in MLR
Marks on fibulas	The Raetic corpus contains one potential inscription on a fibula (NO-9), which is highly suspect of being ornamental. Parallels: fibulas from Pfaffenhofen (Landeskonservatorat für Tirol), EX-46
Marks on bronze axes from the Hallstatt era	A substantial collection of bronze axe heads bearing diverse marks are preserved in the Archäologisches Museum Fliess (EX-82); four more pieces are kept in the Castello del Buonconsiglio (EX-32, EX-33, EX-34, EX-83; a fifth axe with Inv.No. 2.790 is missing). They are too old to be considered in any way connected to the Raetic script proper, but may be of relevance for the interpretation of non-script marks contemporaneous with it. BZ-17 belongs with this group.			Hallstatt era
Marks on Astragaloi	EX-30, EX-51. The only known inscription on an astragalos (which also bears additional marks) is NO-13.

Isolated cases and otherwise ungroupable material

• EX-80: A wooden board, unpublished, currently at the Amt für Bodendenkmäler Bozen / Ufficio Beni archeologici Bolzano. Along one lengthwise edge, discolourations and to some extent indentations in the shape of lines, which might possibly be traces of characters. The lines cannot be arranged into letters; they are more likely to be marks left by some kind of metal fitting or the like.
• New inscriptions in LIR which have not been included in the TIR:
  • EX-1 (SA-96) – clearly ornamental (see drawing on this page)
  • EX-7 (SA-83) – fragmented, but more likely to be a zig-zag ornament
  • EX-8 (SA-94) – a -shape on a handle, isolated and in the context of ornament
  • EX-11 (SA-107) – the symbols and on a bronze handle; see above "Sanzeno I"
  • EX-14 (NO-2) – illegible; maybe comparable with the group "Sanzeno I" above
