#findsfriday — Public Fediverse posts

For #findsfriday we have various #potterymarks from the late #middleages
These exciting pottery fragments, which show a wide variety of potter's marks and #stamps, were discovered during one of our #excavations in 2023. They are mainly applied to the rims of grey #earthenware pots and can provide clues as to the #manufacturer of the #vessels
The #pottery marks are incised X-shaped, V-shaped, cross-shaped, crest-shaped or with parallel notches.

For #findsfriday we have a #medieval #wheelspur from an excavation of a medieval deserted settlement in the #Matzen region. This wheel spur is characterised by a moderately short wheel holder and slightly curved shackles. The six prongs of the wheel are particularly striking.
Wheel spurs of this type came into use in #Austria from the first third of the 13th century as the successor to spiked spurs.

For #FindsFriday, we would like to show you a vessel from our #excavation in #Grossmugl/ #LowerAustria!
It is a completely preserved sieve vessel with an open top and bottom. The exact function of this vessel is not yet known to us, but we suspect that it could be an incense burner. Comparisons can be found from the Early #BronzeAge #Věteřov culture in #Moravia.

For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round

For #FindsFriday, we have some finds from the #cemetery of the #Elisabethinenspital in #Vienna. These were found during our 2019 #excavations on behalf of the #Franziskusspital. They are so-called #Breverl, paper pictures of #saints that were worn on the body, for example, in a #pendant made of metal and glass, to ward off #evil. The finds here date from the 18th century, but Breverl were widespread until the 20th century.
