My photo shows a terracotta red-figure drinking cup, the lower part of which is in the shape of a cowโ€™s hoof. The upper part of the cup is cylindrical with a single handle and outsplayed rim. Around the upper part of the cup is a detailed scene depicting a seated herdsman, with two cows, a dog and a hare. My photo shows the side of the cup depicting the herdsman and a cow. The figures are orangey-red against a black background. The lower part of the cup is hoof shaped and coloured orangey-red with faint vertical black brush strokes. Height of cup 10.3 cm.

Cast-iron pillar with an elaborately styled capital, originally part of the structural system of the former tobacco factory in Hainburg, now integrated into the museum depot of the State Collections of Lower Austria (Landessammlungen Niederรถsterreich) at the Kulturfabrik Hainburg. The ornamental column exemplifies late 19th-century industrial architecture, blending functionality with classical design elements.

Last week, a #conference on the 'Research History of #Archaeology in Austria' took place @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social. A particular highlight was the presentation by our newest #BAG member, Max Piniel, on the research history of #archaeobotany. A fascinating insight into an important #bioarch topic! :)
