Jevišovice culture

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jevišovice culture is a Copper Age population group that presents itself as a closed community due to the same vessel shapes, tools, equipment, technologies, settlement and burial habits. It was combined with the Lower Austrian Mödling-Zöbing Group to form the Mödling-Zöbing / Jevišovice culture. Hermann Maurer put the Mödling-Zöbing-Jevišovice formation (type, culture) up for discussion in several publications.

Their settlement area included the area around Melk , the Wachau , the Dunkelsteinerwald , the Wienerwald as well as the South Moravian and parts of the western Slovak area, where the eponymous city of Jevišovice is also located. Jaroslav Palliardi first unearthed finds characteristic of this culture in 1914 . At the end of the 1980s, the Melk local history museum excavated part of a courtyard with dome ovens and loom weights on the Wachberg in Melk. With around 40 complete clay pots and just as many loom weights, the Wachberg is now considered to be the most important find in Austria in the Mödling-Zöbing / Jevišovice group, with little found .
