Bible Question (short): Does Deut 21:22 refer to crucifixion?

Question (full): The phrase "hang on a tree" was a euphemism for crucifixion in Jewish writings of the first and second centuries. The Talmud uses the phrase several times to refer to crucifixion. Modern scholars genrally agree that much of Deuteronomy is pre-exilic in composition and the final form was compiled in early post-exilic times. certainly before the Hellenistic period when the Jews would have come into contact with crucifixion as a means of punishment. Does anyone know of any commentary on this text from deuteronomy and is it thought that "hang him on atree" refers to crucifixion as a means of execution?
