 Yes, with my paper, I want to give you a brief overview to the early medieval settlement of Belendorf-Gavin style in the northeastern region of Austria, which reveals close contacts to the great Moravian adlomerations that Yezhi just presented. And thus gives us an idea of the impact that these centers had on the adjacent regions. The settlement is situated in the northeastern region of Lower Austria, also called Weinviertel, and was excavated from 2003 to 2006 in the run up to the construction of the motorway A5 leading from Vienna to the southern border of the Czech Republic. In the context of this rescue excavation, an area of 25 hectares was uncovered and revealed about 2,000 archaeological features spreading from the earlier period to the late Middle Ages. For the early Middle Ages, more than 100 features can be identified or separated dating from the 7th to the 8th to the 9th to 10th century. With about 35 pit houses, numerous storage pits, a few ovens in the free area, and a deviant burial, the finding place is currently one of the largest early medieval settlements in Lower Austria. From the historical point of view, we know next to nothing about this region concerning the early Middle Ages as written sources are almost missing completely. Today's Lower Austria, the region between the Ants River in the west and the Light River in the east, became part of the Carolingian realm at the turn of the year 800, but only the territories along the Danube River were developed, as you can see here, whereas peripheral regions were not reached. For the wine fiddle, it is supposed that it stood rather under great Moravian influence that it was part of the Carolingian realm. From the archaeological point of view, the missing of a center in this city, in this region and period, is conspicuous. There are no evidences for a fortification or an agglomeration comparable to Pohansk or Mikkochita in the east, or the hillfort of Gastonau in the west, which is the best researched center of the 9th century in Lower Austria up to now. The three fortifications and hilltop settlements in central wine fiddle, as shown in the map, Michelberg, Oberleiserberg, and Michelstetten, are dating from the 10th century onwards and show no evidences for intensive occupation phases during the 9th century. So if we hide these three sites, the central region of the wine fiddle seems to be a center-free zone during the 9th century, and this grounds the suspicion for an impact from outside, which however lacks any reflection in the written documents. The early medieval period of the site can be separated in three main phases, each dating to the 7th, the 8th, and finally the 9th to 10th century. From the 7th century onwards, the ceramic finds show close contact to the neighboring regions of Southern Moravia and Western Slovakia, so that the dating of the pottery of Bellendorf can be based on these chronological schemes due to the much better state of research in these regions. Giving you a short overview on the phases of the 7th and 8th century, there are two pit houses of the 7th century with stone ovens in the corner of the houses, like they are very common and familiar for early medieval settlements in the Slovak world. These features contained early Slovak pottery of the 7th century. As you can see here, it's handmade pottery, mostly non-decorated and only in some cases with simply wavy scrolls. The occupation phase of the 8th century is also represented by several pit houses, now showing different constructions in terms of the number and the position of post holes. And as you can see here, again, in most cases, the dwellings were heated by stone ovens. Besides this, there are also evidences for plain fireplaces and one unique feature is here, an oven digged into the earth wall of the house. In addition, there are numerous storage pits. Of course, they were primarily created as storage for grain and later on used to discard waste. In several cases, the backfills contained larger parts of animal skeletons, like here you can see of deer and dog or the comprised millstones, also a quite common feature in early medieval settlements. The ceramic finds of this phase now can be connected to the pre-Great Moravian phase in Mikučice and Boransko and may date in general to the 8th century, showing these characteristic shapes and types. In the most recent phase of the 9th and 10th century, the outline settlements patterns continue, primarily showing various numerous pit houses and storage pits. Besides this, two houses come from this period which were destroyed by a fire and therefore parts of the wooden construction were preserved. Here the first example with remains of the wood paneling of the wall, I hope you can see this. And of course, several beams and posts and relics of a stone oven, in this case in the western corner of the house. The second example is the highlight of the site due to its good condition and conservation. Furthermore, in this case, the entrance can clearly be identified as it was conserved as a ramp on the western side of the house, again with remains of the wood paneling and of course, stone oven. Now in this phase, the ceramic finds correspond with types which are well known from Mikrochitz and Bohansko and have no analogies in other regions of lower Austria. Typical are vessels with funnel-formed rims and the groove on the top, like you can see here, examples from Bellendorf and on the right, some examples from Bohansko with these typical rim shapes. These shapes are associated with fabrics of high quality, containing a well-sorted and dense sand temper, perhaps you can see here, and showing a typical grain surface. And in most cases, a good or excellent ceramic firing. Here again, on the left, examples from Bellendorf and on the right here, now some examples from Mikrochitz. This group is better known as pottery of the Mikrochitz circle and is characteristic for both Bohansko and Mikrochitz. According to recent studies and analysis, it is seen as high-grade Moravian production of the second half of the 9th century and the beginning of the 10th century. Another pottery group, which is well known in Bohansko and Mikrochitz and can be found in Bellendorf as well is the so-called Blucina type. Here are examples on the left from Bellendorf and on the right from various sites in Moravia. This type typically shows an egg-shaped vessel, like you can see here. This particular rim shape, also here and here, and this characteristic decoration with circumferential grooves on the shoulder and two wavy scrolls at the neck and at the bottom. Another nice detail that shows the close contact between Bellendorf and Bohansko are identical base marks on two vessels from Bellendorf. On here on the left, they are from two different pit houses and here on the right, an almost identical base mark from a feature from Bohansko. Last but not least, there are also evidences of a pottery from the Starimesto region, which also usually mentioned. Now, this agglomeration lies in the distance of about 90 kilometers from Bellendorf. Here on the right, you can see an almost completely preserved pot again from a pit house in Bellendorf. It is characterized by an extraordinary high quality of the fabric, this specific rim shape and the decoration of three grooves on the shoulder. And here on the right, almost identical examples from Starimesto. Even though there are evidences for Blucinotype and pottery from Starimesto, the majority of the Moravian pottery in Bellendorf can be linked to the Miccochita circle, whose workshops are unknown up to now. However, the excellent quality of this pottery that has no similarities in the early medieval pottery shapes in lower Austria in general, indicates the existence of high specialized workshops, which were most likely established in the Moravian centers or within their hinterlands. So coming to a conclusion, I think the example of Bellendorf quite clearly indicates that the great Moravian agglomerations had a strong influence into the West. Up to now, Bellendorf is the furthest to the West situated side in Austria, with the ceramic of the Miccochita circle as well as from Starimesto. Here again, you can see the distance between Bellendorf and the great Pohansko Miccochita and here Starimesto. The lack of an agglomeration or center in the region during the ninth century, as well as the evidence of products originated from Miccochita, Pohansko and Starimesto make a West political and economic area of influence or rather hinterland of these agglomerations witherball. This result may authorize the question of how hinterland is defined. As Peter Dresler recently outlined, the hinterland of Pohansko and probably also of Miccochita must be supposed as a large territory, whereas the Umland is the adjoining area of the centers. According to this, the settlement of Bellendorf and perhaps even larger territories of today's North Eastern Austria can be assumed as part of the hinterland of these agglomerations as long as they existed. Concerning the material culture, these Eastern influence rooted in the seventh century at latest and ended not until the midst of the 11th century at the time when finally the Bambergs Dominion reached this region. Thank you for your attention.
