The paper discusses two iron artefacts — a sword guard and a cheek-piece discovered within a cultural layer at multicultural site No. 1 in Zamiechów, powiat Jarosław. A typolo-chronological analysis of analogous artefacts was made. It showed that both of these items should be correlated with the Migration Period, even though no features dated to that period were found at the site. These items are probably to be associated with the Huns milieu and the communities cooperating with it. Also, the possibility of penetration of these items into the inventory of the Przeworsk culture as the result of various kinds of interactions between the peoples living in the areas of not only Central European Barbaricum but also of Eastern Europe, Pontic zone or even Caucasian one cannot be excluded.
