Commentary
Image in Casini et al. 2013: 161, fig. 5 (photo).
The roundish, partly smoothed block of gneiss (65 x 70 cm) is inserted into a wall within structure 45/L16, a small dry stone chamber of ca. 1.2 x 0.5 x 0.7 m covered by a heavy slab. The function of the chamber – one of many structures within the enclosing wall (see Mur d'Hannibal) – is unclear; no objects were found inside it. See Andenmatten & Paccolat 2012: 91 and Aberson et al. 2021: 311 for details. Casini et al. 2013: 157 speculate that the chamber was built specifically to house/hide the inscribed stone.
