Abstract

Representative samples from various vessels found in an Avar cemetery at Mödling-An der Goldenen Stiege were analysed using archaeometrical methods. The samples were selected by Falko Daim in 1997. This paper gives a short overview of the methods applied for the archaeometric pottery analyses, presenting some typical examples and providing a first overview of some, still preliminary, analytic results and their interpretation. It also briefly discusses the benefits of some techniques used for these analyses.
