---DEUTSCH
Der Geocache befindet sich am Pinatzbühel, auf einer felsigen, vom Gletscher abgeschliffenen Kuppe oberhalb von Brixen. Reste von Gebäuden aus der Bronzezeit sowie der späten Eisenzeit zeugen von einer langen Besiedlung. Die Wahl dieses Siedlungsplatzes erfolgte aufgrund seiner günstigen strategischen Position. Archäologische Untersuchungen konnten zudem Reste einer Befestigung nachweisen. Diese bestand aus einem Unterbau aus Stein und einer darauf liegenden Holzpalisade. Auf der felsigen Oberfläche des Hügels befinden sich schließlich einige Schalensteine. Bei Bauarbeiten wurden an der Nordseite des Hügels Kulturschichten freigelegt. Kleinfunde weisen in die Zeit der frühen Romanisierung (Ende 1. Jahrhundert v. Chr. - Anfang 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr.)

---ITALIANO
La geocache si trova sul colle Pinaz, una bassa collina rocciosa levigata nella sua parte sommitale dai ghiacciai. Qui sono stati rinvenuti diversi fondi di capanne dell'età del Bronzo e non mancano tracce di probabili abitazioni più tarde dell'età del Ferro. Le motivazioni che portarono ad abitare il colle devono essere state prevalentemente difensive in quanto l'area edificata era circondata da una potente struttura di fortificazione rappresentata da pali infissi in profonde trincee e bloccati nella parte interrata da paramenti di pietre. Le emersioni rocciose qua e là presentano tracce di coppelle che vi invitiamo a scoprire. Sul lato settentrionale, l'apertura di trincee per la posa di tubazioni hanno svelato la presenza di suoli carboniosi e reperti databili al primissimo momento dell'occupazione romana del territorio (fine 1 sec. a.C. - inizio 1 sec. d.C.).

---ENGLISH
The cache is situated on the Pinaz hill, a low rocky hill whose upper part was polished by glacial action. Here, several remains of Bronze Age huts were found; there are also traces of probable houses dating to the Iron Age. The hill was settled for predominantly defensive reasons, since the settlement area was surrounded by a mighty fortification structure, as revealed by the archaeological excavations. This structure originally consisted of posts sunk in deep trenches, with their underground part being blocked by stone walls. The wooden posts decayed, yet the structure is still preserved beneath the present ground surface, within the trenches running along the edge of the hill. On some rock outcrops there are traces of engraved cup-marks, the mysterious small rounded hollows which we invite you to discover. Trench excavations for waterlines on the southern side of the hill have revealed the presence of layers with abundant charcoal and materials dating to the very early phase of the Roman occupation. (end of the 1st century BC beginning of the 1st century AD).
