2 EARLY CELTIC STAMPED POTTERY IN THE EASTERN ALPINE AREA: WORKSHOP ACTIVITY AND TRADE 1. Introduction Finds for this study were chosen from Iron Age cemeteries and settlements, especially from the transition between the Late Hallstatt and Early La Tène periods. Firstly, we are going to investigate sites in the Vienna Basin and the surroundings of Lake Fertő, which display many similarities in ritual, settlement structure and workshop activity. Additional samples were chosen from the Early Celtic cemetery of Pilismarót-Basaharc, located upstream from the Danube Bend Gorge in Hungary (Fig.l).
