What can the dwarfs tell? On settlements and anthropomorphic statuary in La Tène Southern Moravia

Abstrakt

Over the last decade, two new sites were identified during fieldwalking in the territory of Lednice, Břeclav District, Southern Moravia. Finds from the Bronze Age, La Tène period, Roman Iron Age and Early Middle Ages have been collected in the sites but only the most numerous La Tène artefacts are discussed in this paper.

Since human presence of the Roman Iron Age is attested in both sites, the attribution of some insufficiently characteristic artefacts (bronze rings, fragments of bronze bars, traces of bronze smelting) to the La Tène or Roman Iron Age is not certain.
