POTTERIES AND OBJECTS MADE OF CLAY IN VELEM ST ATD Material of the Bronze Age from the excavations 1989-91 Velem St. Vid became famous at the turn of this century because of Miske's bronzes, but we should not forget other very significant sources, among others the clay objects. Stratigraphy in Velem can hardly be used, because the same 20-40 cms thin level was used by all people living here. They constructed their buildings for a new settlement upon the ruins of the preceeding inhabitants. Because of that, the oldest ceramic pieces are in the highest level, for instance in the levels of the Celtic rampart - as will be demonstrated later in my report. This is why there is only one solution, what we can do for making the chronology of this site - we have to rely on the old-fashioned method of typology. Hie objects, what I would like to demonstrate: I. Ceramic pieces from the levels of the Celtic rampart. Their clu onological position is based on the typology. - few pieces from the end of the Middle Bronze Age: Veterov-Böheimkirchen - early tumulus culture. Tables I. 8., II. 13., III. 2. - ceramic material from the late tumulus culture (and Daka circle). Tables IV. 1-9., V. 1-9., VI. t. VIII. t. - ceramics from the early umfield period RbD-HaAl . Tables II-III., IV. 10-15 t., V.10-14. t. - a big bowl (kráter) and a small cup from the late umfield period HaA2-B. Table IX. 1,15. II. Clay objects: weaving objects in typological order, without any cluonological aspects yet! Table X. HI. Small cups with incised ,symbols" - up to now without any chronological connections! Table XI. Since these pieces were built into the rampart in the late LaTene period, we do not know their former connection with the units of the settlement. Even though we can draw the birth-procedure of the city built up on the top of the St.Vid Hill. By the end of the Middle Bronze Age, inhabitants arrived/or were there from the Veterov circle. Further investigation will find an answer whether they lived together with the people of the socalled early tumulus culture. Ceramic materials indicate the continuity of the peoples of the late tumulus-early umfield cultures. Period: Rb D-HA. We have some forms from the late umfield period, from HaB. Table IX. 1., 15. The investigation of the above material may give further impetus to the researches about the roots of St.Vid Hill - today and in the future.
