Die bronzezeitliche Deponierung von Wagenhausen/Etzwilen-Tättebüel TG (original) (raw)

2023, Jahrbuch Archäologie Schweiz

Stefan Di Staso, a volunteer metal detectorist, discovered a Late Bronze Age hoard on Tättebüel hill in the municipality of Wagenhausen. The assemblage comprises 47 objects weighing a total of 368.3 g. An EDX analysis carried out on the objects revealed that they were all made of tin bronze. The artefacts include two Binningen-type pins, two armlets, a sheet-metal bracelet, two wire pendants, a sheet-metal tube, six finger rings, a wire ring, six wire spirals, a ringed necklace, a pendant and an arrowhead. A subsequent excavation brought to light four coarse ware wall sherds. The composition of the assemblage is similar to that of other hoards found, for example, at Binningen BL, Belp BE Hohliebe, Löhningen SH or Bötzingen (D). They all date from the phase BzD2/HaA1, i.e. from the 13th to the 12th century BC
