Commentary
Needle bone.
Broken among the perforation. The section between the top and the shaft is missing.
An inscription sidewise the narrow shaft.
Like all the bone findings on the Ganglegg hill the bone needle dates to 3rd–1st centuries BC (cp. Gamper & Steiner 1999: 50–51).
In Gamper & Steiner 1999: fig. 24.4 (drawing), fig. 25 (photo).
According to Marchesini the bone is kept at the repository of the Amt für Bodendenkmäler Bozen / Ufficio Beni archeologici Bolzano at Frangart / Frangarto (cp. Marchesini 2014: 138).
