Commentary
Rock with Raetic inscriptions which date to the La Tène period.
The find place Unterammergau is located in the Ammergau Alps (Ammergebirge) which is part of the Northern Limestone Alps. This mountain range is made of lighter and more porous rock at which the major component is limestone. Additionally dolomite, marl, sandstone or comparable components appear.
Apart from the inscriptions listed above, a hardly determinable number of additional texts may have been inscribed in the area left of the group UG-1.1–UG-1.2 (see the photo of the rock wall in Mandl 2011: Abb. 67 and 99). No positive statements can be made, as only vague traces, most of them potential remains of vertical frame lines sans rungs, can be made out.
