Abstract
After a short introduction into the aeneolothic Pfyn culture an account of its distribution is given. A few crucibles were found. Impressions into the formerly soft clay are identified as those of cereals: wheat and barley. Chemical analyses of the slag rests revealed that a relatively pure copper was used, only traces of bismuth were found. The iron present is part of the slag itself. -- AATA
