The third volume of the series combines the surface finds collected by the present author together with Stefan Allerbauer in the Morava Thaya Triangle in the north-west of Lower Austria, which are deposited in the Lower Austrian State Museum [Landesmuseum Niederösterreich] today, with the specimens scattered in countless find reports. This unique compendium allows for a comprehensive settlement history of the region. The area did not only form a section of the large trans-continental long-distance trading route of the “Amber Road”, but also a strategically significant transit and deployment route on a Central European scale. On the other hand, this compilation is an invaluable reference book for the identification of finds and their cultural and chronological context in the sense of a truly “International Archaeology”. The catalogue comprises 361 fibulae of groups Almgren VII and VI, hybrid forms combined from groups VI 1-2, and further developments derived from these [Almgren Types 41-61 altogether]. This is followed by an overview of two distinct settlement zones, Hametbach/Thaya and Morava, followed by some Early Medieval bow and bird brooches.
