a script of the equestrian nomads in the 1 st millennium Bc? remarks on the so-called Scythian arrowheads with markings between Eastern alps, urals and anatolia numerous studies are devoted to the distribution, chronology and historical interpretation of the so-called scythian arrowheads, which are known in the vast area between Central europe, eurasia and the near east. Less well known and researched so far is the occurrence of incised and cast signs that occur on the wings and sometimes the sockets of the two-and threewinged bronze arrowheads. While such signs on finds from the northern Pontic region and anatolia have been known for some time, their occurrence on arrowheads from eastern Central europe, more precisely on arrowheads from the fortified Hallstatt-settlement smolenice-molpír, belongs to the more recent discoveries. While initially only a very small number of pieces with incised signs have been discovered and made public, we can now say that their number and their variety are much larger. the finds from smolenice-molpír are now among the largest ensembles of arrowheads with incised signs, which are known to date. With a view to comparable finds, the question arises of the interpretation of these signs-is it possibly a sign system that was widespread in the mounted nomadic cultural circle and is to be addressed as writing? eInLeItung Im Jahr 2002 wurden im rahmen der materialaufnahme für eine magisterarbeit an der Freien universität Berlin im museum von trnava (slowakei) an einigen der sogenannten skythischen Pfeilspitzen aus der befestigten Höhensiedlung von smolenice-molpír in der südwestslowakei kleine eingeritzte Zeichen

1 an dieser stelle möchte ich dem Jubilar alles gute, gesundheit und vor allem Zufriedenheit wünschen. unvergessen ist unsere langjährige Freundschaft, die vor unzähligen Jahren (es muss in den 1990ern gewesen sein) begann, als ich als junger student das erste mal in das archäologische institut in nitra kam und von allen kolleginnen und kollegen herzlich aufgenommen wurde. es folgten zahlreiche Begegnungen (mit intensivem wissenschaftlichen austausch und auch gemütlichen abendveranstaltungen) auf den jährlich veranstalteten kelti/keltové tagungen der tschechisch-slowakischen eisenzeitgruppe und schließlich mein dreijähriger Aufenthalt in Nitra (2016 -2018) im Rahmen des SASPRO-Projektes 1340/03/03 "Male Identities in La Tène Cemeteries (MILT) in the Middle Danube Region", wo Karol als mein "Scientist in Charge" fungierte und sich auch sehr einsetzte, dass ich das Projekt schließlich bekommen konnte. 2 Für die Zurverfügungstellung des Materials sei dem Besitzer des Grundstückes, Mag. Adrian Riklin sowie Mag. Christoph Blesl (Bundesdenkmalamt, abt. archäologie) herzlich gedankt. ebenso möchten wir den ausgräberinnen, mag. Doris käferle und Mag. Doris Schön (AS-Archäologieservice) und dem Grabungsteam für die Grabungsdokumentation und zusätzliche mündliche informationen danken. Dr. konstantina saliari und Dr. erich pucher sei für die auswertung, interpretation und publikation der gefundenen tierknochen gedankt. Ein spätlatènEzEitlichEr BEfund im palais r asumofsk y, W iEn iii, l a n dst r assE (Gr aBu nG 2011) p e t e r c . r a m s l 1 -R A D O S L A v Č A M B A L a late la tène period object in palais rasumofsky, Vienna iii, landstraße (Excavation 2011). the present article is a processing of the finds of a La Tène period feature from vienna III-Landstraße (Palais Rasumofsky). On 8 August 2011, excavation work began in the inner courtyard of the palais rasumofsky (vienna iii, landstraße) due to the planned construction of an underground car park. During the work on the following days, extensive remains of a cellar in the north-eastern part of the area came to light.In addition, a fragment of pottery from the La Tène period was recovered from the excavated material. the subsequently excavated object was a so-called 'sunken hut' disturbed by walls on the northwest and southwest sides. it was preserved in a dimension of 2.5 by 2.3 m and contained six post pits. the maximum depth of the pit was 0.8 m. The finds contain mainly of pottery, composed of broken pieces of vessels decorated with comb lines, undecorated pieces and a few painted pieces, mainly in the form of pots, bowls and individual pieces such as a lid and a tripod vessel. The find of two spindle whorls made of pottery is worth mentioning. In addition to pottery, the find material from the pit house included animal bones and a small number of iron and non-ferrous metal objects. Among the pottery, pots with thickened club rims and those with bottom marks stand out. The material dates to the late la tène period (ltD2) and can be compared well with that from Br...

Hoard of Bracelets from the Hallstatt Period from the Záruby Peak in the Little Carpathians. paper deals with a hoard of three bronze spiral rings passed to the collection of the snm-archaeological museum in Bratislava in 2004. they were found on the Záruby, the highest peak and the dominant of the Little Carpathians, in the cadastral district of Buková and smolenice. the alleged location of the hoard almost on the top of the hill might point to the possibility of its ritual deposition. the spiral bracelets made of bronze wire with decorated ends date to the stage hD.
