Bronze hoard from Jabłonka, Głubczyce District

In the village of Jabłonka in Głubczyce District, Opolskie Province, a bronze hoard was discovered in May 2015. It was comprised of 10 objects: 4 armlets or ankle-rings made from a bronze band decorated with grooves, a small bracelet with a decoration of transversal grooves, 2 armlets or ankle-rings made from a bar (one oval-sectioned and decorated with groups of notches and one twisted), a bronze cup with a handle, a disc with a loop (phalera), and a socketed axe. Most of the artefacts have analogies in Silesia and neighbouring regions. The hoard can be associated with the Silesian group of the Lusatian culture and dated to phase HaA2. The reasons for its deposition remain unknown.
