Experimental research of the life history of Celtic pottery, their manufacture, use and discard, gives insight into ancient food habits.

The combination of scientific organic residue analyses and archaeological context studies allow for entirely new insights into the functions and meanings of Mediterranean imported pottery and local Early Iron Age pottery north of the Alps, both of which are then set into a wider context by museological and cultural-historical papers.

Funde mediterraner Importkeramik ließen Forscher_innen schon früh vermuten, dass den „Kelten“ vor allem an einer Nachahmung mediterraner Trinksitten gelegen war.
