Fragments of several Laugen jugs, Raschötz

Fragments of Alpine ceramic from the Laugen culture

Burnt remnants of a fireplace

The fragments of several 'classic' late Bronze Age jugs from the Laugen culture were found northwest of Raschötz upper cable car terminal. The jugs are characterised by two wartlike bumps on the side of the lip and have a thick handle with a ribbon-shaped profile. Research still has to clarify whether the finds are connected with a high place of worship or a burnt-down  mountain shepherd's hut from the Bronze Age.
