ConsaquenOy, łt occurred both In the eastem part ot tha central aren and at the bailey. lis broad dispersion a cross the area ot the oppldum is supported by samples obtained from rescue excavations carried out h 1983 below the northem slope ot the acropolis (teatures 296. 297) and in 1984 along the northem part ot the fortffication ot the bailey (teatures 299,300,303). Grey linę poftery also occurred in the settlement teatures outside the defences, both from the settlement area dose to the rampart (teatures 282,284,285 in Part III), and from the area lower down at the foot ot the slope below the eastem extension ot the bailey (feature 292, Part IV).

Category C - combed pottery (Platę 12). The assemblage of pottery fragment* shows severalbasietomie situte, tripartite pots. rounded pots, and even lids. These forms are mostły wheei madę. Graphite matafial a not always used with the combed pottery. From its proportion of 7.20 % wtthin the whole assemblage, orty one lhird was madę from materiał with a high graphite admbcture. Certain differenoes can be obsarved from the point of view of typology. High-shouldered situlae with narrow necks and eocpresshrety beaded rims, with a horizontal cordon in their shoulder profiles, seemed to be the earfiest types. They wers madę from graphite materiał and were decorated with vertical combing (Fig. 29:3). Their prasence was identified witłśn horizons 2-3, however, its occurrence in horizon 1 can also probabły be assumed. A common form. appeanng in ai four settlement horizons. is represented by a similar typa of vesseł. This type, howeuer. was without the sharp contour of the situlae. and appeared to be nearer to lale La Tfrne pot-shaped vessełs on the basis of its mors curved shoulder. This type of tripartite pot with an upstanding neck, in some cases with an incficafion of a tran cordon on its shoulder (Fig. 29:7), is onty exceptionalły madę from graphite materiał. Its vertical combing can indude deep incised lin es (Fig. 29:1). The forms madę from non-graphite materiał, in actual facL appear to Imitate the shapes of graphite combed vessels occurring at oppida in Bohemia, soch as the cfisUnct accumulation at Tffsov. The bottom of these vessels have base-signs and their production area is assumed to have been in South Bohemia. close to the graphite sources, i e. at the Tffsov oppidum or in its noarby ńdnity (Jansovó 1955, 164; Kappel 1969, 79-80). Another type of tripartite pot, with a Sharp profled neck and with a smooth. in some cases thickened nm (Fig. 29:9.15). does not differ from the characteristic sfrniar forms of Late La Tene pottery used for everyday purposes It is verticaly combed. howewer, and contamed no graphite admixture, the neck in some cases hawing a prtch coathg (Fig. 24:8). An exampłe of spedfic forms of combed pottery is represented by two types of fine pots with short out-tumed rims and sfighfly mejked necks. The neck was grooved (Fig. 29:10-11) or formed by a minutę horizontal cordon (Fig. 23:3). Both types are madę from fine materiał, which may be graphite-tempered or grapNte-coated. The decorabon was of a fine type, with vertical grooves or criss-cross combing. The excłusrvely late chronołogcai posrton of pots with a cordon marked neck and fine combing in stripes may be comddentai. This type was orty identfiBd within one settlement feature (116), which was only partły imrestigated. However, it is perhaps conspicuous that lids, also decorated with fine vertical grooves, either aiong their entira surface or in sbipes (Figa. 24:14; 27:13), exclusively occur within the fourth horizon. They were identified within two setflement feałures. Fragmentary examples of fine combed body pottery from impracisety identified vessets are concentrated r settlement features which were strabgraphicaUy ciassifwd as botonging to horizons 3-4. It therefore seems that the described type of fine pot with a horizontal cordon on its shoulder may be a comparatnrały lale type within horizons 3-4. In the territorial dhrision of combed pottery from Central European oppida acconfing to i. Kappel, both these pot types with slightły marked necks and fine decoraoon bełonged to the western group. concentrated aiong the upper flow of the Oanube and within the Salzburg baśń. Lids also occur togefher wdh them which are assumed to have been a part of the assemblage {Kappel 1969. 73-74; Abb. 23; Taf. 27.29. 39). The stamped ornament of lids from Manchng oppidum and other srtes. however. has not been dentifteo at Stradonice. The objects at Stradonice are fine-combed. therefore indcating another production area. The finał form of combed pottery recognised in the pottery assemblage from Stradonice w represented by a rounded pot with a wide mouth and beaded rim, which was sharpły verticaBy grooved on its body (Fig. 29:6). It «ns first introduced in horizons 3-4. It imitated the forms of the eastem group of graphite pottery. spread toroughout aO of Moravia and Lower Austria (Kappel 1969, 80-81, Abb. 49:16. 17). Spadały. the combed pottery at Stradonice oppidum does not show any signs of distinethre accumulabon uli the mrestigalod araas. R is dispersed within all the 1981 excavation areas, and occurred within the passage my to gale Al (1962 excavation) as well as within the area of a smali rescue excavabon below the norto stopę of the acmpoBs (1983 excavation).

Category D - grey fine-grained ware (Platę 13). This spedfic group of wheeł-made and hard fired ve6sełs forms a considerable part of the daily utiksed pottery from the first horizon onwanis. The nrwyority of 4s forms are similar to the popular forms of the most numerous daHy-use ware. >.e. the ooarse wheef-frnched cerarmes with a minerał admixture (category E). Within these oommon forms balang both trtpanRe jars wito narrow Sharp shaped necks (Fig. 32:16) and several types of tripartite pots with erther wide conical necks (Fig. 30:14). or narrow conical necks (Fig. 24:6), further rounded pots with outtumed nms (Fg. 21:20), as we* as a number of simple bowl-shaped forms with vertical rims (Fg. 33:3), slghtty or sharpły mtumed nms (Fg. 20.14) or crushed rims (Fig. 33:5). The strahgraphy of features from wNch the samples of grey fine-graned pottery have been obtained. indicates that their production deveioped mostty during honzons 3-4. From toe second
