Commentary

Sickle (leaf harvesting knife) with tang.
Curved blade, cutting edge inside; the wide tang twice perforated. Partly highly corroded, along corrosion holes. Front part and back in a moderate condition.
Near the tang characters. In Franz 1959 a circumscription.
One of the findings made during the excavations executed by Dr. Franz von Tappeiner (1816–1902) during the 1890s. Von Tappeiner was a doctor, but moreover he was a botanist as well as interested in anthropological studies, as a result he has executed many excavations especially on the Hochbühel and St. Hippolyt / San Ippolito. The focus of these excavations was on the retrieval of prehistoric skulls, the other findings were incidental for von Tappeiner. Franz von Wieser who took part in the major part of these excavations was responsible for the archeological review and recording (for detailed information see Von Wieser 1903: 317–320).
