Commentary
Ceramic fragment.
Potsherd of a bowl with broad belly and short neck. Clay with a fine temper of quartz; burnished outside and inside surface of red brown in colour.
At the area of the belly wide and vertical striae.
On the bottom characters which were scratched after firing (cp. Torggler-Wöß 1953b: 442, fig. 1, and in succession Franz 1959: 228–229, fig. 3.4).
The potsherd from Hochbühel is one of the discoveries made in the 19th century. Around 1886 a minor excavation was executed by Fridolin Plant at which were found "viele, teils gut erhaltene und ornamentierte Aschenurnen, Topfscherben, auch Fibeln, Schmuckgegenstände aus Glas usw." (cp. F. Plant according to Lunz 1974: 192). Franz Tappeiner continued the excavation between 1890–1891. During this campaign hundred of potsherds were discovered. Therefore the present potsherd derives from the excavation executed by Plant or from this made by Tappeiner. Mancini however indicates 1891 as exact find year (cp. LIR: 66, No. BZ-21), consequently during the excavation made by Tappeiner. 1892 the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum acquired the entire Tappeiner collection at which the discoveries of the excavations on the Hochbühel from 1890–1891 were included (cp. Torggler-Wöß 1953: 412).
According to Lunz the potsherd dates to the late Hallstatt period and the beginning of the La Tène period due to the typology of the earthenware found at Hochbühel. The major part of the pottery contains bowls with compressed S-shaped profile, wide, flat strap handles with set on edge rims, double triangle as well as retangle seal. The find situation indicates therefore a dating to Ez IV–La B2 (cp. Lunz 1974: 193).
