The hoard of bronze objects from site 8 at Zagórze, Wadowice district

During rescue excavations carried out in 2012 in site 8 at Zagórze, Comm. Mucharz, Dist. Wadowice, a hoard of bronze objects was discovered, comprising a binocular brooch of the Strzebielinko type, three spiral bracelets made of thick bronze sheet of triangular cross-section, and three twisted necklaces with flattened and rolled ends. The deposit should be dated to HaD and linked with the Górnośląsko-Małopolska (Upper Silesian-Lesser Polish) group of the Lusatian culture. The spiral bracelets and the decoration featuring on the ends of one of the necklaces find the closest analogies in the hoard from Krásna Hôrka, Dist. Tvrdošín, in Slovakia. All metal objects originating from site 8 at Zagórze were subjected to chemical and technological analysis (XRF spectrometer of the Spectro-MIDEX type)
