The Late La Tène period hut in Ohrozim, Central Moravia

Abstract

The aim of the article is to publish finds from a Late La Tène sunken hut investigated near Ohrozim in the Prostějov district in 1994. The assemblage is noteworthy for the diversity of artefacts it contains, including a glass ring-shaped bead, an amber bead, a Nauheim fibula, an iron axe, iron cotter pins, whetstones, fragments of a mirror and painted pottery. Moreover, at least one type of manufacturing has been documented in the hut: the processing of bone and antler industry. The entire assemblage and its composition are richer than standard assemblages from agrarian settlements known thus far in the Haná region in the area below the Staré Hradisko oppidum.
