Commentary
Animal bone of a sheep (Ovis orientalis aries) or a goat (Capra aegagrus hircus).
Complete and light brown in colour. Perforated.
At the narrow side, sidewise the centre an inscription.
Like all the bone findings on the Ganglegg hill the bone dates to 3rd–1st centuries BC (cp. Gamper & Steiner 1999: 50–51).
To complete: typology of the bones (two variants, see Gamper 2006).
