In spring 2009 at Gdańska Street in Słupsk (Fig. 1) a well-preserved bronze brooch was found (Fig. 2). In autumn 2013, in the same area, a fragment of another brooch was discovered (Fig. 3). In winter 2013 at ul. Zaborowska Street in Słupsk, at a depth of approximately 10 cm, a fragment of a bronze bracelet was discovered (Fig. 4). The bronze brooch decorated with three combs on the bow and a knob on the foot (Fig. 2) belongs to the type A.V.96. Brooches of this type are widespread in the Wielbark culture, the Przeworsk culture and the West Baltic culture. The fragment of bronze brooch (Fig. 3) with band-shaped bow, widened foot with a comb in the middle, belongs to the type A.II.41. They are most often discovered in pairs, within burials of the Wielbark culture population. Due to the large number of finds of this type jewellery in Eastern Pomerania, they are considered to be local products. The bronze bracelet discovered in Słupsk is a typical form of so-called ‘snake’ bracelets, characteristic of the Wielbark culture population. Such artefacts were recorded on rich burial grounds in the area of the Brda River and the Wieprza River in the west, to the Parsęta River in the east, in northern Greater Poland, near Elbląg and in the valley of the lower Vistula. Based on the construction and decoration, the bracelet from Słupsk should be included to the variety B of the type III after T. Wojcik. Due to the area of distribution, the bracelets of the type III B are considered to be a local Pomeranian product. Due to the coexistence in graves of the aforementioned bracelets and brooches, these artefacts are dated to phase B2/C1, i.e. approximately mid-2nd century AD. During the field prospection conducted in 2013 in the place of discovery no other archaeological materials of the same chronology were encountered. As far as the single fragment of bracelet may be a stray find, the discovery in a small distance of two broches of the same chronology may indicate the existence in this place an unknown burial ground of the Wielbark culture population.
