Still Needed:

Action: Browse objekte.nhm-wien.ac.at directly — the database exists but has poor external indexing. Systematic category-by-category browsing will yield far more than web search. Also check if Ramsauer watercolours have been digitised.
2. Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart

Holds ALL original Hochdorf finds and many Heuneburg finds. Critical for F05, F06, F07, F19.

Recommended Search Strategy
- NHM Wien direct browsing (highest yield): Navigate objekte.nhm-wien.ac.at by collection category. Also download the Winserion demo for 1,300 Hallstatt cemetery images.
- German-language museum database searches: Use German terms from the CLAUDE.md shared reference section. Austrian/German museum databases are far better indexed in German.
- Slovenian-language NMS searches: Search nms.si in Slovenian for Dolenjska group material.
- Prometheus Bildarchiv (requires institutional access): Search for Hallstatt, Situlenkunst, Hallstattkultur, Gürtelblech, Kahnfibel.
- Direct museum contact: For Soproni Múzeum, Keltenmuseum Hallein, NMS Ljubljana, Landesmuseum Stuttgart — email requesting image access or digital collection links.
- ZOBODAT.at: Austrian zoological-botanical database hosts many historical archaeological publications as PDFs with photographic plates.
