2,500-year-old bronze artefacts found in eastern Poland
A metal detectorist has uncovered a hoard of bronze artefacts during a survey in the village of Czernięcin Poduchowny, eastern Poland.
The discovery was made by Łukasz Jabłoński, a licensed detectorist who notified authorities at the Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments in Lublin.
A total of 13 bronze artefacts dating from 2,500-years-ago have been located, including pins for clothing, shin guards, and bracelets which are associated with the Lusatian Culture.
The Lusatian Culture emerged during the Late Bronze Age and expanded their territories across most of present-day Poland, parts of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, eastern Germany and western Ukraine during the Early Iron Age.
