AI-generated Abstract
The study addresses 'horn-handled' bowls from the Central European Iron Age, focusing on their typology, origins, geographical distribution, and dating related to archaeological contexts. Key findings suggest that these bowl types exhibit regional variations influenced by local traditions, with significant examples dating back to the Early La Tène period. The research further proposes a typological classification and highlights the cultural interactions reflected in the design features of these vessels.

The paper deals with the presence, interpretation and dating of a selected Migration period pottery, specifically the Murga type and jugs of Wien-Leopoldau type ceramics from the Upper Danube Barbaricum territory. The Murga type pottery, occurs during the Migration period. A significant spread can be observed already in the first and second quarter of the 5th century, until the end of the third quarter of the 5th century, where it rapidly declines. The production technique of Murga type pottery must have been adopted by the local Barbarian population before its decline, as evidenced by the abundance of finds and fragments directly from pottery kilns or pottery workshops in the Upper Danube Barbaricum. It spread quite far beyond the area of the Middle Danube or Tisza region, through Moravia and Slovakia, to the territory of southern Poland, where, apart from Roman Danube imports, its local imitations began to appear quite early on. The finds of Wien-Leopoldau type jugs from the territory of Upper Danube Austria, Slovakia, Moravia, and southern Poland on the other hand, are probably related to the migration of nomadic ethnic groups from eastern Europe, probably first with the Sarmatian tribes and thus probably with the Huns themselves. At the same time, the adoption and production of this form of pottery type by local Germanic potters cannot be ruled out, as indicated by their occurrence at sites with the presence of pottery kilns, such as the settlements from Vrbov or Nitra-Párovské Háje.
