Commentary
Bone of domestic pig (Sus scrofa domestica or Sus domesticus).
According to Ruta Serafini, related to the entire bone group from Trissino it can be stated "che si tratta di un insieme di oggetti da connettere con pratiche oracolari, molto probabilmente quindi di sortes" (cp. Ruta Serafini in Mancini 1995: 146).
