"...Among the potsherds form the Heuneburg is a small scattering of Greek pottery, all of it either drinking or banqueting vessels (Wehgartner et al. 1995, 70.116 ff.). Part of the rim and body of an Attic kylix of the Kleinmeisterschalen type, dating to ca. 540 BCE, is one of the best-preserved among them. The scene was a generic black-figure palaistra scene; preserved are a judge and part of a wrestler..."
