Commentary
Animal bone of a sheep (Ovis orientalis aries) or a goat (Capra aegagrus hircus).
At one end perforated. At the other end broken.
Along characters. In Schumacher 2004 only a transcription of the characters (cp. Schumacher 2004: pl. 3.3).
Like all the bone findings on the Ganglegg hill the bone dates to 3rd–1st centuries BC (cp. Gamper & Steiner 1999: 50–51).
Until 1992 in private property of Karl Pohl. The current location however is the Vintschger Museum / Museo della Val Venosta.
