Latènezeitliche Gräber aus Schrattenberg mit „Torques" und Textil.

Three graves from the Latène period were uncovered in Schrattenberg (political district Mistelbach, Lower Austria) in 1913 and 1914. The material from the graves has been housed in the Departments of Prehistory and Anthropology at the Natural History Museum Vienna but had not been properly scientifically analysed before now. The three graves consist of two men and one woman, all older, in the age period mature-senile. They also represent a small population, all under 160 cm height. Archaeological finds include bronze jewellery, notably a bronze necklace, pottery fragments and bronze buttons. Due to typological comparison material, the archaeological finds point to a date between Lt B2 and Lt B2/C1. In a bronze anklet a textile was found, serving as stabilization. In its technical data it fits well into the textile finds of the Early La Tène Culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
