Such amulets would have been worn to protect the wearer against all kinds of misfortune, such as the evil eye, illness or accidents. Amulets were also worn by children, usually hung around the neck on a chain or thread.<br>Source: <a href="https://www.nhm.at/jart/prj3/nhm-resp/main.jart?rel=roseldorf_de&content-id=1546947538544&reserve-mode=active" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nhm.at/jart/prj3/nhm-resp/main</span><span class="invisible">.jart?rel=roseldorf_de&content-id=1546947538544&reserve-mode=active</span></a></p>

It contained an extremely large amount of find material, the spectrum of which was very diverse.

At approx. 10 x 10 meters, its dimensions were very similar to those of the other small sanctuary there, as were the width and depth of the trench.<br>Exactly in the middle of the inner surface of the area enclosed by the ditch was a rather shallow pit, which was probably an offering pit.<br>In comparison to the other small sanctuary and especially to the large sanctuary, the range of finds was not as broad, in addition to the generally much smaller number of finds. Pottery finds predominated by far, followed by relatively few bone finds and isolated metal finds.`<br>Source: <a href="https://www.nhm.at/jart/prj3/nhm-resp/main.jart?rel=roseldorf_de&content-id=1512158120336&reserve-mode=active" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nhm.at/jart/prj3/nhm-resp/main</span><span class="invisible">.jart?rel=roseldorf_de&content-id=1512158120336&reserve-mode=active</span></a></p>

This is an unusually large number of sanctuaries, which is why it must be assumed that Roseldorf was a cult centre of the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Celts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Celts</span></a> far beyond the region.<br>The sanctuaries are all different in terms of their construction and cult activities. It would appear that all the sanctuaries existed at the same time, but were dedicated to different gods. It therefore stands to reason that different god cults took place in the sanctuaries. In addition to animal and human bones, weapons, chariot parts, horse bridles, jewellery and much more were deposited in the sacrificial pits of almost all the sanctuaries. However, there were great differences in the distribution of the types of offerings in the individual sanctuaries.` <br>Source: <a href="https://www.nhm.at/jart/prj3/nhm-resp/main.jart?rel=roseldorf_de&content-id=1512158078245&reserve-mode=active" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nhm.at/jart/prj3/nhm-resp/main</span><span class="invisible">.jart?rel=roseldorf_de&content-id=1512158078245&reserve-mode=active</span></a></p>

Ulla Rajala<p>The unique amber cup was found in Hove in 1856. It was dug from a round barrow burial mound that belonged to the Wessex culture. The cup was made with northern European amber and dated to c. 1750-1550 BC. There is another from Dorset but of different design. Now in the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FindsFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FindsFriday</span></a></p>
