Fragmentary handle of a ceramic vessel.<br>Probably the handle of a ceramic vessel type Henkelbecher (cp. {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002}}: 663). Cylindrical cross section. Fine clay, from brown to dark grey in colour; moderate tempered of fine grained sand and cast gold as well as argentine mica; reduction firing; burnished.<br>Along a not complete extant [[index::IT-8|inscription]] incised before firing. Probably the [[index::IT-8|inscription]] displays the remains of the Raetic proper noun: piθan&#91; (original script: &#93;{{c|N}}{{c|A|A15}}{{c|Θ|Θ2}}{{c|I}}{{c|P|P4}}). Therefore the [[index::IT-8|inscription]] on the handle refers to [[index::piθam(n)e|comparable pieces of evidence]] coming e.g. from [[index::Magrè]] or [[index::Montesei di Serso]].<br>The [[IT-8 potsherd|fragmentary handle]] comes from the annual excavations on the [[index::Pillerhöhe]] executed by the Institute of Classical Archaeology of the University [[index::Innsbruck]] since 1992. The [[IT-8 potsherd|potsherd]] was found during the campaign of 1996. The [[IT-8 potsherd|fragmentary handle]] was discovered in the area of the fairground near the place of the burnt offering (cp. [[index::Pillerhöhe]]) where were discovered numerous offerings. The major part of these offerings does not indicate burn marks and can be considered deposit offerings whereas sometimes fragments of the same object were spread over the entire area of the fairground. However, it can be supposed that the place of discovery does not correspond to the place of deposit. Probably the spreading is caused secondarily (cp. {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998}}: 236).<br>A large number of the entire earthenware from the fairground of the [[index::Pillerhöhe]] is presented by the vessels type Henkelbecher. However, in the majority of cases only the handles of this ceramic type are extant (cp. {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998}}: 247; {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002}}: 663).<br>Concerning the entire pottery discovered on the [[index::Pillerhöhe]] it can be stated that the quantity of ceramic increases during the La Tène period. However, the major part presents early Fritzens-Sanzeno-pottery. Tschurtschenthaler and Wein, in accord with Gleirscher, propose a dating to the Early [[index::chronological classification|La Tène period]] (cp. {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998}}: 247, fn. 110 and 113; {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002}}: 663–664, fn. 110 and 113). Therefore the above-mentioned dating to La Tène A is concerted with this common chronological classification of the pottery from the [[index::Pillerhöhe]].<br>Autopsied by the ''Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum'' in July 2014.

The fragment is most probably the handle of a ceramic vessel type Henkelbecher.

The fragment is most probably the handle of a ceramic vessel type Henkelbecher. It is a typical find from the Pillerhöhe insofar as Henkelbecher are a large find group there, and usually the only sizeable fragments of the intentionally destroyed beakers are the comparatively thick handles (Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002: 663). Cylindrical cross section. Fine clay, from brown to dark grey in colour, moderately tempered with fine-grained sand and cast gold as well as argentine mica; reduction firing; burnished.

The handle, found in 1996 during the annual excavations on the Pillerhöhe, was discovered in the area of the fairground near the burnt-offerings site. Like the major part of the object offerings on the Pillerhöhe, the handle does not have burn marks and can be considered a deposit offering, even if the place of discovery does not necessarily correspond to the place of deposit. See Pillerhöhe for more information about the archaeological context. The dating to the early La Tène period is based upon the fact that the larger part of the Pillerhöhe ceramics consists in early Fritzens-Sanzeno pottery; see Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998: 247 and Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002: 663f. for details about the ceramic finds from the Pillerhöhe.
