Traces of a dwelling at the start of Gröden valley

In prehistoric dwellings, large ceramic containers were used to keep foodstuffs in. These coarse clay shards have decorative trims going around them, partly smooth, partly with indentations. The finds come from Rabanserhof in St. Peter at Lajen, the original parish of Gröden. They were unearthed during excavation of a house from the mid Bronze Age (1500 - 1350 B.C.).
