Commentary
The Monte Ozol site was in use, originally and probably throughout, as a burnt-offerings site from the Late Bronze to the Early Iron Age, possibly even into Roman times; highly diverse finds in combination with nearby fundaments of buildings make further interpretation difficult (Gleirscher et al. 2002: 247 [no. 133]). According to Perini 2002: 767, the find comes from a layer dated to Retico A (middle of the 6th–middle of the 5th century). (Gambacurta 2002b: 124 gives the first decades of the 4th century, but this appears to refer to a questionable dating of the inscription, not to the object.)
