This is from an article on funeral rites and grave goods.
La sepoltura, appena intaccata dalle arature nella parte superiore, era protetta da un’anfora (di tipo Dressel 6B) deposta nella fossa con il collo rivolto verso il fondo; il *** puntale *** e altri frammenti si trovavano, invece, nel riempimento interno.
I've found ferrule for puntale but I'm not sure about it, so I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me with this. TIA

stopper
Have a look at this photo of an amphora puntale - it seems to be a stopper. See below for English refs:

please check the drawing in Wikipédia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphora
this drawing shows that the pointed part of the amphora is called quite down to earth foot

the point is not the translation of puntale, but what is being called the lower end of an amphore in English.
In French this part is called pilon (pounder) or pied (foot) - no hint to something pointed
Something different, from the same wikipedia article
Most were produced with a pointed base to allow upright storage by embedding in soft ground, such as sand. The base facilitated transport by ship, where the amphorae were packed upright or on their sides in as many as five staggered layers.[1

: effettivamente (ma qui non si tratta di "piede" ma più precisamente di "puntale") // E in effetti questa base appuntita ha un nome specifico in italiano (puntale), e non solo in italiano, credo. ;-)
