Commentary
Bone needle.
Pellegrini compares the character on the bone needle with the first character of the other bone needle from Rotzo.
Nalli mentions that the needle together with the bottom of a ceramic vessel (see AS-2 potsherd) and the bottom of another ceramic vessel was found by himself. But he gives no further information about find date or find context. The find year 1881 mentioned by Whatmough could be also assumed in according to the note of Nalli (see above).
Formerly the bone needle was preserved in the small museum Museo geologico e preistorico di Asisago which was directed by Giuseppe Nalli (cp. Nalli 1895: 258), but the current location was already in the times of Whatmough unknown (cp. PID: 32: Whatmough indicates the Museo Alpino di Asiago as former museum.).
