Commentary

Fragment of a bone dowel.
Calcined, from grey to black in colour.
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: find circumstances: old finding by Pohl and Wieser or finding by Gamper and Steiner; find date
