Commentary

Find circumstances The archeological finds VR-6 antler, VR-7 bone and VR-8 bone were part of the excavations on the Colle del Castello di Montorio, near to Verona, in 1998 (cp. Marinetti 2004: 409).
The discoveries which all could be put into a context of residential structure, indicate an “ampio arco cronologico (dal V secolo all’età imperiale)”; a raetic presence however could be determined for the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. For more details see Marinetti 2004.
