The Hoard from Eberswalde. Archaeology, production technology, analysis

1913年，在勃兰登堡的埃伯斯瓦尔德，人们在一个陶瓷容器中发现了一批史前金器，这是迄今为止中欧最大的金器宝藏。1939年在柏林史前和早期历史博物馆打包，第二次世界大战结束后运往莫斯科。由于柏林博物馆和莫斯科普希金博物馆之间的合作协议，现在有可能将这一青铜时代晚期的重要发现用于科学研究。这项研究计划的主要目的是分析这些宝藏的考古背景、生产技术和金属成分。该窖藏由容器、环、钢丝螺旋环、锭和条组成。对来自Eberswalde的物品的生产技术进行描述性的调查，并对表面细节进行照片记录，结果将与Carl Schuchardt的描述进行比较。化学分析用的样品将用激光烧蚀和磨蚀。文物的考古背景将被勾勒出来，并记录文物的重量和体积。考虑到生产技术的结果和黄金的成分，考古解释将处理车间以及区域和跨区域接触的问题。进一步的主题是对窖藏的微量元素模式及其年代位置的比较。目前的建议将成为未来研究保存在俄罗斯和德国博物馆的勃兰登堡其他青铜时代宝藏的基础。

In the year 1913 a hoard of prehistoric gold objects was discovered in Eberswalde, Brandenburg, in a ceramics vessel, which until today is the largest hoard of gold objects in central Europe. Packed up in 1939 in the Museum for Prehistory and Early History Berlin the hoard was transported to Moscow after the end of World War II. Thanks to a cooperation agreement between the Museum in Berlin and the Pushkin Museum, Moscow, it is now possible to make this key discovery of the Late Bronze Age available for scientific research. The main objective of this research program is to analyze the hoard with regard to its archaeological context, production technology and metal composition. The hoard consists of vessels, rings, wire spiral rings, bun ingots and a bar. The investigation of the production technology of the objects from Eberswalde will be undertaken descriptively with photo documentation of surface details and the results will be compared with the description by Carl Schuchardt. Samples for chemical analyses will be taken with laser ablation and abrasion. The archaeological context of the objects will be outlined and weights and volumes of the objects be recorded. By taking into account the results of production technology and composition of the gold the archaeological interpretation will address the questions of workshops and regional and transregional contacts. Further topics are the comparison of the trace element patterns of the hoard and its chronological position. The present proposal will form the basis for future research of other Bronze Age hoards from Brandenburg that are kept in Museums in Russia and Germany.
