Commentary
Fragment of an antler point.
The fragment fits to MA-4 antler like the figure indicates (see Pellegrini 1918: 189, fig. 27). The present fragment is the larger one.
Both fragments charred; the middle section missing as well as the right side, hence the beginning of the entire inscription (see MA-4). On the present fragment is to observed the end of the whole insription.
After the accidental finding of one antler an official governmental excavation was started. The major part of the findings was discovered at the 3rd stratum near the medieval tower on the hill (cp. Pellegrini 1918: 175).
According to Pellegrini the whole antler group from Magrè dates to the Este culture - Este IV - and due to the archaic appearance of the characters the antlers date to the first half of this period, therefore to the 4th century BC (cp. Pellegrini 1918: 175–176, 206). Gambacurta however dates the entire group to the 3rd–2nd centuries BC (cp. Gambacurta 2002: 122 and in consequence Gambacurta et al. 2002: 188).
Because of the character of the find place which can definitely interpreted as ritual place, the entire antler group from Magrè has also a votive importance.
In all probability the current location of the fragment must be the Museo Nazionale Atestino.
