(ORDO NEWS) — Polish archeologist Weslaw Koman said that 13 bronze artifacts more than 2,500 years old were discovered in the village of Chernecin-Poduchovny in eastern Poland. This was reported by Nauka w Polsce
The discovery was made by Lukasz Jablonski, a licensed detective.
Excavations at the site revealed two pins, a torc, fragments of a small decorative phalar, four large bracelets decorated with incised herringbone and transverse lines, four smaller bracelets and a decorative tubular pin.
Archaeologist Veslav Koman said: “The find is all the more sensational because the decorations of the Lusatian culture in this region are very rare and are usually single objects or fragments, but here we have a whole set of them.”
Koman said that the find was discovered in January this year, but was kept secret until the site was investigated by archaeologists.
Koman added that the discovery has “a great educational, scientific and environmental significance for archaeologists in the context of the analysis of the settlements of this culture in this area, as well as in the entire Lublin region.”
Background : The Lusatian culture arose in the Late Bronze Age and expanded its territories to most of modern Poland, parts of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, eastern Germany, and western Ukraine during the Early Iron Age.
The name of the culture refers to the Lusatia region in eastern Germany (Brandenburg and Saxony) and western Poland, where “Lusatian-type” burials were first described by the German pathologist and archaeologist Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902).
