Venetic inscription on the silo from ŠtanjelVinazza, Manca (Avtor) Repanšek, Luka (Avtor) SloveniaŠtanjelEarly Iron AgeceramicssiloVenetic inscriptionpaleographyThe rib of a silo from Štanjel, which was found in the storage building from the 5th and 4th centuries BC, bears a partially preserved incised inscription. The series of vertical and diagonal marks on the rough surface is non-accidental enough to be recognized as an inscription in the Venetic alphabet (henceforth labeled with the siglum *Ts 4). In a sinistroverse sequence, an interpunctuated <.a.> and <e> are clearly legible at the very end, enabling a tentative reading [---].a.e (with aberrant, non-framing interpunctuation of final e). The sequence most likely represents a mark of ownership and may represent the oldest preserved Venetic inscription on pottery in Slovenia.20252025-10-29 11:55:48Članek v reviji175495sl
