Commentary

Animal bone of a sheep or a goat.
At one end perforated. At the other end broken.
Along characters. In Schumacher 2004 only a drawing of the characters (cp. Schumacher 2004: pl. 3.3).
Like all the bone findings on the Ganglegg hill the bone dates to 3rd–1st centuries BC (cp. Gamper & Steiner 1999: 50–51).
Until 1992 in private property of Karl Pohl. The current location however is the Vintschger Museum Schluderns.
