Enamelled Objects in the 2nd and 1st Centuries BC. Technology and Distribution in Central Europe
Original language description
This work is a comprehensive study of archaeological finds from Bohemia, Moravia, southwest Slovakia, and Lower Austria with enamel decoration from the 2nd to 1st century BC. Numerous artefacts decorated with enamel, almost exclusively red, come from the La Tène cultural sphere. Enamel is found especially on belts, horse harnesses and riding equipment, chariots, and decorative rivets. Regional and superregional groups of these artefacts were identified in the studied territory. According to the results of chemical analyses, the composition of the glass of the La Tène red enamels from Europe of the 2nd to 1st century BC corresponds to the same two basic groups of natron glass – Egyptian and Levantine – as identified in the glass of personal ornaments of this period, i.e. beads, pendants, and bracelets. To date, the only evidence of local enamel processing is pieces of red glass, semi-finished products, and waste in the workshops at the Mont Beuvray – Bibracte oppidum in France. The metal composition of local types of enamelled artefacts could suggest other workshops.
