Two Late Iron Age rotary querns found in Bohemia manufactured using grey, vesicular lava have been analysed typologically and geochemically with the aim to determine their provenance. Both objects match up with a typology which was developed on the basis of numerous Late Iron Age rotary querns discovered in Germany: The types of the upper and lower stone are characteristic for the production in quarries located in the Eifel.

Both objects match up with a typology which was developed on the basis of numerous Late Iron Age rotary querns discovered in Germany: The types of the upper and lower stone are characteristic for the production in quarries located in the Eifel. Using a combination of geochemical discrimination, cluster-, and discriminant analyses, both rotary querns could be allocated exactly to their quarries at the Bellerberg volcano near Mayen in the East Eifel area. However, being the only Eifel lava rotary querns known in Bohemia their occurrence is not sufficient to assume a regular and continuous exchange between Bohemia and the Eifel quarries in Late Iron Age times.» weiterlesen» einklappen
