Commentary
Fragment of a ceramic vessel, probably a handle of a Henkelbecher.
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.
Along a not complete extant inscription which was incised before firing.
The fragmentary handle derives from the annual excavations on the Pillerhöhe executed by the Institute of classical archaeology of the University Innsbruck and was found during the campaign of 1996. The exact find place of the ceramic fragment is the fairground near the place of the burnt offering (cp. Pillerhöhe) where were discovered numerous offerings, at which the major part does not indicate burn marks, spread over the whole fairground (cp. Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998: 236). A large group of the entire earthenware from the fairground of the Pillerhöhe is presented by the Henkelbecher however only the handle of this ceramic type was conserved (cp. Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998: 247).
According to the whole find complex of pottery discovered on the Pillerhöhe the major part presents early Fritzens-Sanzeno-pottery, therefore Tschurtschenthaler and Wein, in accord with Gleirscher, propose a dating to the early La Tène period (cp. Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 1998: 247, fn. 110 and 113; Tschurtschenthaler & Wein 2002: 663–664, fn. 110 and 113).
Autopsied by the Thesaurus Inscriptionum Raeticarum in July 2014.
