was identified In almost every sampled settlement feature. Its characterlstlc features are a deep-roughened surface together włth a pltch coating on lis neck. Such surfaces are demonstrable In the majority of obtalned samples. In several cases, the fragmontary materiał also provided evldence of decoration on coarser daily-use forms. This was elther in the form of a zonę of cross-hatching on the shoulder (Fig. 28:14-18), probably I imitating the bumlshed decoration of the fine wheel-made ware, or irregular cross-hatching on the lower body I (Fig. 28:12). The forms distinguished, with only few exceptlons, do not stratigraphically appear to have been I used later than horizon 2, and already appear in horizon 1, untll the abandonment of the oppidum. Common I forms ińdude tripartlte and rounded jars and pots of various types, as well as a broad rangę of simple bowls I without necks with Intumed or crushed rims, According to the number of uariants of basie forms, this pottery I category for daily use seems to be the richest. Several types only occur exclusively In settlement features I within horizon 4. Oue to the prevalence of category E within the entire assemblage of samples, this late I occurrence seems to be credible. The tripartite jar with wide neck and outtumed thlckened rim (Fig. 32:3,5) I is recognised as a late type. It probably substituted the earller type with a beaded rim. which was identified I in horizons 1-3 (Fig. 32:4,8). Bowls, simHarly have an outturned rim, and are only represented in horizon 4 I (Fig. 33:23). The evidence of another late form, the tripartite pot with a narrow conical neck and thickened I outtumed rim (Fig. 30:5,8), is in harmony with the chronological position of the same form madę from grey, I grainy potters-cłay (category 0). The wide dispersion of wheel-finished ceramics for daily use within all I investigated parts of the oppidum, as well as outside its ramparts, represents the natural manifestation of its I common every day use.

Category F - hand-made coarse ceramics for daily use (PI. 15). The insignificant proportlon of these vessels within the Stradonice assemblage is quite 6triking when compared with the masses of wheel-made pottery, or that whose upper parts are wheel-finished. It is peculiar that the majority of coarse hand-made vessels are based on the variety of forms of wheel-made pottery produced by craftsmen, and so they therefore represent imitations. The most striking example is represented by the tripartite pot with a concave wide neck and smooth

rim (Fig. 30:3), whlch repeats the shaplng of the commonast wheel-made or wheel-finished vesiele of daily usa (categories D, E). The tripartite bowl with an upstanding, necked rim (Figs. 25:22; 33:24) as well as the rounded pot with an outtumed rim (Fig. 30:21) are also assumed to have been modelled ort wheel-made flne forms (cf. category B). The slight profiled pot with an outtumed rim and wide mouth (Fig. 20:20) as well as the hand-made funnel-shaped bowl (Fig. 33:22) belong to culturally indistind forms of pottery, of daily use, whlch are common in all settlement pottery assemblages. The other hand-made, bowt-shaped forms also łmitate the common forms of ware produced by craftsmen during the Late La T4ne period, with the rims belng sharply or slightly inturned (Fig. 20:13), thickened on the inner slde (Fig. 33:9), or vertical (Fig. 33:20). The occurrence of the coarser hand-made ware appears to be morę distind within horizons 3 and 4. Spatially, it was dispersed in all parts cutting the central area and bailey of the oppidum. It is not surprising that K was also present in sampled features outside the defences. It occurred both in the settlement features dose to the ramparts (features 282,285), and at the foot of the slope bełow the east extension of the bailey (feature 290, Part IV).

Category G • wheel-finished pottery of daily use, with an admixture of mica (PI. 15). Within the fragmentary samples available only one form was recognised, i.e. a bowl with a slightly intumed rim (Fig. 33:15). Other day fragments with a conside rabie admbcture of mica oome from the walts of yarious vessels, the forms of which cannot be distinguished. Their deep-roughened surface, however, indicates that they probably belong to similar forms, which were represented in a broad variety within the group of wheel-finished pottery of daily use with a minerał admixture (category E). Ceramics with mica admbcture were dispersed in all three irwestigated parts of the oppidum within horizons 2-4, i.e. behind the main gale A1, aiong the east Circuit of the central area, and at the bailey. It can therefore be considered to have been a symptomatic component of the pottery at the Stradonice oppidum, aithough in view of its tow quantity. it nught not have been produced directly at the oppidum.
