Kamegg-Poigen-Maiersch type

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Kamegg-Poigen-Maiersch is the transition horizon from the late Hallstatt to La Tène culture in the Waldviertel ( Lower Austria ).

The order of the locations is meant chronologically. Since grave finds are still unknown, the appearance of this late Iron Age face is mainly defined by the settlement ceramics. Kamegg represents the Hallstatt formation from the second half of the 5th century BC (Hallstatt D3). In addition to modified Hallstatt ware, graphite clay ceramics are also represented, as well as a late decorative brooch. The evidence of turntable goods shows Mediterranean influences. The Poigen settlement can be dated back to the early La Tène culture on the basis of evidence of fine ceramics decorated with stamps, of Braubach- type bowls and the mainly represented graphite earthenware , largely still designed in the Hallstatt tradition. A leading form is the Limberger pot, a derivative of the barrel-shaped Hallstatt ware. The settlement of Maiersch , two settlement pits have been recovered, the publication of which is still pending, shows the ceramic forms already mentioned, but also further developments of the Braubach bowls, which already point to Mittellatène . Typical Celtic stamp decorations are richly represented, as a single piece there is evidence of a characteristic comb-shaped cup. These formations are to be settled before Latène C2, in any case - according to the current state of research - there are only settlement inventories from Latène C2 that show no Hallstatt admixture.

Similar cultural phenomena are also known in the area adjacent to the north of Moravia and in South Bohemia . The decisive factor for the more or less independent further development of the local Hallstatt culture is probably the remote location of these areas, which were only able to benefit from the main traffic arteries and from the fads that spread through them to a limited extent and with a delay. But political reasons could also be responsible for the relative independence over a longer period of time. An ethnic classification is currently not possible, as the few Celtic elements are more likely to be due to fashion influences than to a land grab. Evidence of settlement is available in the entire Manhartsberg area , from the Moravian border in the north over the Horner Basin to the Kamptal .
