Sídliště únětické kultury na katastru obce Rybníky na Znojemsku

Abstract

Interesting finds from an Únětice culture settlement were rescued in the town of Rybníky in the Znojmo District. The first pit contained a storage vessel with a band at the transition from the neck to the body and a second one in the lower part of the vessel. A similar division of the vessel body into three parts is known only from the Proto-Únětice culture. Also found in this same feature were four primitively rendered clay weights with a horizontal perforation (five more were found several years later). Two bowls and a pot with two handles on the rim (the first specimen of this type in Moravia) were preserved from another feature. The character of the finds from the first pit are very ancient and it is possible to consider their association with the Proto-Únětice culture. While dating the pottery from the second pit is more complicated, with a certain degree of probability it can be attributed to the Late Únětice period.
