#Celtic #FindsFriday: „crown“, iron sword, remains of a wooden and bronze shield: was the owner of this objects a priest or a king or both? Is this burial a proof für sacerdotal kingship in #Celtic Britain about 200 BC?

#FindsFriday: a gold cup found in Eschenz, Switzerland, during construction works. Dating between 2400 and 1600 BC. Because of the circumstances of the discovery we don't know if it was a grave good or a votive offering. We also don't know it was a status symbol or served ritual purposes.

On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld

#FindsFriday! A stunning find from my hometown #Rottweil: a #Roman hot and cold water tap. It was not a mixer tap, but was used to tap either hot or cold water. The spout has not been preserved. The tap dates to the 2nd or early 3rd century.
The tap is on display at Dominikanermuseum Rottweil, one of our branch museums.
The picture of the reconstruction was taken in the museum at Augusta Raurica.

#FindsFriday: The oldest preserved #candles north of the Alps. They were made from beeswax around 1,400 years ago. Found in the early medieval burial site in Oberflacht. The damp environment preserved the candles in good condition.

On display at Landesmuseum Württemberg

#FindsFriday: a well-preserved #Neolithic knife, the blade was made of flint and fastened with birch tar in a handle made of wood.
From the pile dwelling settlement at Wangen-Hinterhorn, Lake Constance, dating 3800-3500 BC.

One of the highlights of our collections.

#Celtic #FindsFriday: The swords found in Buchères are shorter than those of horsemen and were therefore carried by warriors on foot. A detail on a sword scabbard is also fascinating: two dragons are stylised in coral on it.

For #FindsFriday an amazing object from yesterday's visit to Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren - an #IceAge masterpiece! The so-called Venus of Hohle Fels (a cave on the Swabian Jura) was carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. The 6cm long figurine is the world’s oldest known representation of a human. It lacks a head. Instead, a carved ring is placed above the shoulders. The ring preserves polish, suggesting that the figurine was worn as a pendant.

#Celtic #FindsFriday: The funerary collection from Buchères is exceptional in many ways. Despite the very large surfaces uncovered by preventative archaeology in the Seine Valley of Champagne, and especially surrounding Troyes, discoveries of funerary remains from this period are rare.
In addition, in this region, during the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, other very original funerary practices also existed: the deceased were buried in abandoned underground silos, as is shown by the excavation of such an ensemble less than one kilometer from the Buchères necropolis.

#Celtic #FindsFriday: Among the 14 graves thus far excavated at Buchères, the archaeologists have already unearthed five warrior tombs. These men were armed with a sword in its sheath and a lance. Two of them have a shield. Composed of wood and leather, all that remains of the shields is the orle (a metallic band outlining the shield) and the couvre-spina (central support).
