I will still research but think that it is difficult but since it could be archaeologically interesting I think that the dating will probably take place through it

(Middle to Late) Pre-Roman Iron Age to Early Roman Imperial Period. While comb-stroke decoration has been known in northern Thuringia since the Late Bronze Age, in the Leine Valley, I would date it to the Early La Tène period, based on the mine remains I know of. A great find!
