Commentary

Fragment of a ceramic vessel.
Nalli mentions that the potsherd together with a bone needle (see AS-13 needle) 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 is mentioned by Whatmough (cp. PID: 31).
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 already Whatmough indicates the fragment as lost (cp. PID: 31).
To control the following references: Molon, N. d. Sc., June 1881, p. 154; Pellegrini 1915: 122 et seq. (already available)
