Remnants of a Bronze Age Rampart in Upper Bavaria: A Mössbauer StudyR. Gebhard Archäologische Staatssammlung, 80535 München, Germany W. Häusler, U. Wagner Physik-Department E15, Technische Universität München, 85747 Garching, Germany M. Moosauer 85778 Haimhausen, Germany Abstract The remains of a Bronze age rampart found near Bernstorf, above the Amper valley some 30 km north of Munich in Upper Bavaria, were studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The properties of the finds confirm the assumption that the rampart was destroyed by a fire, which caused much of the material to reach temperatures well above 1000°C. The results demonstrate the usefulness of Mössbauer sepctroscopy and XRD in studies of materials heated in disastrous fires.
