On 20th January 2015 the co-author of this paper Piotr N. Kotowicz received information about an accidental discovery of bronze artefacts in the village of Rzepedź (Sanok district, Subcarpathian province). The discoverers — Łukasz Solon and Ewelina Turzańska from Sanok, stumbled upon them the day before, while wandering around the village. According to the oral relation of Ł. Solon on the background of the brown earth and yellowish grass, he spotted a fragment of an item resembling “shaft-hole axe”, which was clearly visible thanks to the green patina covering it. The intrigued finder unearthed it by digging a rather shallow dig (up to 15 cm), revealing in its vicinity additional five pieces of bronze coiled spirals. Realizing the importance of the finds he took out the items, but refrained from further exploration of the dug hole. When the unearthed items were shown at the Historical Museum in Sanok, it became clear that they might be a part of a hoard from the Bronze age.
