Object VN-18 bone point with inscription VN-18.

Inscription VN-18.

Commentary

Unpublished.

Length 2.1 cm; inscribed on the end of the straight part of a bone point. Slightly scratched, the letters, being fairly tall, wind around the object; final almost makes the full round. The lines of particularly untidy are repeatedly scratched. The second letter cannot be identified securely: The easily visible part suggests shortish , but this would not fit in with tip-down in the other testimonies from the Ganglegg. The faint traces of another angle below the first indicate or , as tall as final , with the middle part gone. Cp. VN-12.
