New discoveries of worked pieces of red coral Corallium rubrum and shells of sea molluscs from Bohemia and Moravia of the Early Iron Age gave rise to the creation of an article that follows these finds in the territory of the Czech Republic, Bavaria and Austria and summarizes the current state of research on these remarkable imports from the 8th to the beginning 4th century BC. Red sea coral and see mollusk shells were imported, processed and used in the area north of the Alps. The authors organize the findings clearly according to the rules of natural science, trace their marine sources and discuss the long-distance trade routes along which they were traded from the Mediterranean and Red Seas to Central Europe. See corals and shells of the family Cypraeidae are the most distant import in this area, and have not received sufficient attention in the past. The study records the finding contexts of the mentioned imports, points out the symbolic meaning of their use, the social background and the method of storage, which in many cases betrays the elites. Following the discoveries of see corals and mollusk shells, the article traces long-distance contacts in the Early Iron Age and suggests likely transport routes for these exotic goods to Central Europe.
