Summary/Abstract: Analysis of the composition of pottery with neutron activation. Determining the provenance. Based on the results of the examination of 55 samples, the vast majority of the analyzed pottery originated from the same place, they were probably local products. Some slightly different pieces were identified as well, which was perhaps due to a difference in their dating or in the production technology. Six potsherds proved to be significantly different concerning their chemical composition. These were supposedly imported vessels.
