[Bonetools] Antler object Puntal del Llops ( Marta Blasco)

[Kordula Gostencnik]

Dear Marta,

although the inscription (which is upside down in the drawing) is in
Iberian language, I asked a specialist in Greek graffiti and epigraphy
here at Vienna University, Prof. Hans Taeuber. As far as he could tell
from the drawing, the letters are written in the so-called "red
alphabet" of the western Greek, which was adopted by the Iberians; he
considers 5th century BC for the dating and reads "laichon", whatever
that means in Iberian.

Sincerely
Kordula
