Moravian amber finds from the La Tène period in the context of the discovery of an amber workshop in the central agglomeration of Němčice
Original language description
The study presents an assemblage of amber artefacts chronologically classified in the early to final phases of the La Tène period (LT B - LT D) while also discussing the use of amber in the preceding period. Amber occurs relatively sporadically in Moravia in the context of grave finds, at common lowland settlements as well as at hilltop sites. An excavation at the central agglomeration of Němčice uncovered a sunken hut interpreted as an amber workshop and, based on numerous finds of raw amber, finished beads and their preforms, their local production was identified including evidence of various production phases. Along with the Staré Hradisko oppidum, this important discovery represents the second site in Moravia where amber was verifiably processed. For the LT C1-C2 period, Němčice is the only site of this type in Central Europe. The large number of new finds allow us to learn about the way amber was processed into finished products while also expanding the typological range of final amber ornaments.
