Germanic settlements following the end of the Main Limes
Pins made of non-ferrous heavy metal
After the retreat of the Roman troops trade contact developed
between the Alamanni
and the Roman Empire.
The grave of an Alamannic woman was found in Kleinwallstadt. In
addition to a knife, a spinning wharve, and a comb made of bone,
the grave also contained Roman imports. The jug, the thin glass
bowl, and perhaps also the gold-plated silver fibula,
were made in late-Roman workshops.
