The term, coined in 1927 by Gero von Merhart, initially included only Melaun (also Mellaun), a village near Brixen. The pitcher of Laugen, found at Villanders and preserved at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, is a typical example of this culture: it has a triangular nozzle, a decorative outer grooves, and a height of 18.3 cm ; next to the handle are two horn-shaped appendices.
Also at Villanders it was found a place used for votive burnings (Opferplatz) remained in use for centuries until the Iron Age.
