I would suspect glue should do the trick, though dowels and nails from the inside would be possible. If the boss is covered with a fabric or leather facing, it will be pretty well fixed in place. Also, there are metal bands that seem designed to cover the central part of a wooden boss. At least I've seen something like it at the RGZM. They would give added stability. Does anyone have the Fayum scutum excavation report handy?
