Kleinaspergle is an early La Tène burial mound north of Hohenasperg, in Baden-Württemberg. In 1879, the mound was excavated by Oscar Fraas. Two burial chambers were uncovered. The main chamber had been plundered in the Middle Ages and was not able to be investigated, but the side chamber was untouched. Fraas was able to uncover several valuable artefacts from this chamber, which was perhaps the burial of a high-status female. The artefacts uncovered attest to the scale of cultural transfer possible in Central Europe at this time (with Etruscan and Greek artefacts represented) and, furthermore, how Mediterranean material culture was embraced and adapted by Celtic elites and early La Tène craftsmen.
