Prohlis depot
The Prohlis Depot is an archaeological deposit from the Early Bronze Age that was discovered in the Prohlis district of Dresden .
The hoard was discovered in 1953 in the clay pit of the Müller brickworks in a vessel from a settlement pit of the Aunjetitz culture . It consists of 14 bronzes: two edge ridge axes , three longitudinally ribbed bracelets, five round-rod eyelet neck rings and four somewhat smaller Thuringian rings with paw ends. The dating to the later phase of the oldest Bronze Age (1800–1600 BC) assigns the find to the Aunjetitz culture.
Further finds in the Aunjetitz settlement pit in the winter of 1952/53 were: a large, long grinding stone (50 kg), two friction balls, a slate rock with saw cuts on both sides, clay fire with wood prints (hut plaster) and many shards. The addition of the millstone and the friction balls is otherwise not common in Aunjetitz depots.
