Die nachklassische Phase der Aunjetitzer Kultur in Brandýs nad Labem. Ein Beitrag zur Siedlungskeramik der Aunjetitzer Kultur in Böhmen

Abstract

An Early Bronze Age settlement with an enclosure was unearthed in Brandýs nad Labem in 2007–2016. The settlement pits and the ditch yielded one of the richest collections of Early Bronze Age pottery in the whole of Bohemia. Since the previous knowledge about Early Bronze Age settlements is very poor, the site of Brandýs nad Labem offers a good opportunity to introduce the typology of settlement pottery and to sketch the possi bilities of chronology and their relation to the burials. On the basis of the poor evidence for the classic phase of the Únětice culture and numerous analogies in the Věteřov culture, is it possible to date the ceramic ensemble to the post classic phase of the Únětice culture, which in some cases contradicts the radiocarbon dates.
