Commentary
Foot rim, part of a bowl with a bulbous indentation.
The central omphalos is in the middle of a larger round coil. Medium-fine clay from dark grey to red brown in colour, on the bottom black in colour, with a moderate temper of fine grained sand and cast gold; the sherd indicates an oxidation/reduction firing.
Inside an inscription which was scratched after firing (cp. Torggler-Wöß 1953b: 442, fig. 1 [only transcription of the inscription]).
According to Mancini the sherd was unpublished. Mancini classifies the sherd into the group of objects with unknown resp. uncertain background. Cp. IR: 284 (No. 69) with focal point on the inscription. In consequence of Mancini, Schumacher arranges the inscription into the group of objects with Herkunft Unbekannt (cp. Schumacher 2004: 197). The ceramic fragment however presents one of the discoveries from Hochbühel 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.
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).
