The archaeological collection at the Museum of Feltre (province of Belluno, Veneto region, Italy) includes fragments of two ancient millstones of type known as “Olynthus mill” or “hopper rubber”. The first one (from San Donato, in the municipality of Lamón) is mentioned in a number of published and unpublished works; the other (generally from Feltre) is new to archaeological literature. Until now, they had never been identified as specimens of the Olynthus mill. Following a brief introduction on this type of device (its technical features, origin and geographic distribution) and the main hypotheses concerning its diffusion in the Alps, the first part of this paper describes the two stones from Feltre: their dimensions, morphological features, raw material, etc. Consequently, this article will focus on the topographical areas where the stones were found and on their importance for understanding the diffusion of the Olynthus mill model in the Alpine region characterised by Raetic culture, which is still an unresolved problem. The sites of discovery of the two Olynthus mills (along with the places of origin of the other hopper rubbers found in the Veneto region and in the eastern part of the province of Trento) could suggest new working hypotheses about the provenance of this type of millstone and its introduction into the Raetic territory between 5th and 4th century BCE. More specifically, the Olynthus mill model might have been introduced into the Alps through the Piave and Brenta valleys and not the Adige valley as previously thought; the Olynthian-type mills from the Veneto region could therefore mark the stages of this south-north path rather than being mere outlying specimens of the Raetic area, or items exported from there.

阿尔卑斯山的 Olynthus 磨坊：来自威尼托地区（意大利）发现的两块不明磨石的新假设

Feltre 博物馆（意大利威尼托大区贝卢诺省）的考古收藏品包括两个被称为“Olynthus 磨”或“料斗橡胶”的古代磨石的碎片。第一个（来自拉蒙市的圣多纳托）在许多已出版和未出版的作品中都有提及；另一个（通常来自 Feltre）是考古文学的新手。直到现在，它们从未被确认为奥林萨斯磨坊的标本。在简要介绍这种类型的装置（其技术特征、起源和地理分布）以及有关其在阿尔卑斯山传播的主要假设之后，本文的第一部分描述了来自 Feltre 的两块石头：它们的尺寸、形态特征、原始材料等。因此，本文将重点关注发现这些石头的地形区域，以及它们对于理解奥林萨斯磨坊模型在以雷蒂克文化为特征的阿尔卑斯地区的传播的重要性，这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。两个 Olynthus 磨机的发现地点（以及在威尼托地区和特伦托省东部发现的其他料斗橡胶的原产地）可能会提出关于这种磨石来源的新工作假设并在公元前 5 世纪至 4 世纪之间引入雷蒂克领土。更具体地说，Olynthus 磨坊模型可能是通过 Piave 和 Brenta 山谷引入阿尔卑斯山的，而不是之前认为的 Adige 山谷；
