#findsfriday — Public Fediverse posts

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

For #Findsfriday, we would like to present a #pyxis from #Roman #Arelape (#Pöchlarn). This is a rare find made of bone, possibly even #ivory. The small box with the perforated lid was probably not yet finished, as the inside is still quite roughly moulded. Pyxids were storage containers for ointments and powders and can be counted as part of a woman's personal equipment in Roman times.

The object is exhibited in #Stadtmuseum Arelape Bechelaren.
