Italian term or phrase: passante
Hi all,

I'm translating an article on a restored iron knife found among the funerary objects of a tomb in Posmon, Italy.

Ai lati del coltello, in posizione simmetrica, sono state rinvenute due coppie di anellini in bronzo che si suppone pertinenti a un sistema di fissaggio in materiale organico, al quale si devono probabilmente ricondurre le numerose e minuscole fibre trovate nel sedimento infiltratosi nel *** passante ***, la cui natura tuttavia potrà essere accertata solo con apposite analisi.

This words recurs several times throughout the text, so I'm quite keen to find the correct translation for it. I would be most grateful for any help you might be able to give me. TIA
