[[index::Pillerhöhe]]) where were discovered numerous offerings, at which the major part does not indicate burn marks, spread over the whole fairground (cp. {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998}}: 236). A large group of the entire earthenware from the fairground of the [[index::Pillerhöhe]] is presented by the ''Henkelbecher'' however only the handle of this ceramic type was conserved (cp. {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998}}: 247).<br>According to the whole find complex of pottery discovered on the [[index::Pillerhöhe]] the major part presents early Fritzens-Sanzeno-pottery, therefore 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).<br>Autopsied by the ''Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum'' in July 2014.

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

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.

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 {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998}}: 247 and {{bib|Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002}}: 663f. for details about the ceramic finds from the Pillerhöhe.

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.
