Commentary
Animal bone of a sheep (Ovis orientalis aries) or a goat (Capra aegagrus hircus).
Broken at one side, perforated.
Along 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 control: in Schumacher 2004: pl. 13.7 (drawing) is no perforation visible
