From the investigation of a cemetery in the locality Logvino in the northern area of the Sambian Peninusula (Fig. 1) made in 2012 and 2013 comes a gold lunula pendant, presumably an element of a grave inventory (‘assemblage 1’) from a destroyed female cremation burial (burials?). The pendant, decorated in a style characteristic for the Leuna-Hassleben horizon (Fig. 2), finds numerous analogies in finds from the territory of the Cherniakhiv Culture (Fig. 5). Except for the pendant, ‘assemblage 1’ consists of a silver buckle and silver rivetbosses from a belt, a fragment of a silver finger-ring, a fragment of a silver shield-headed bracelet and a fragment of a silver brooch with a returned foot (Fig. 3 & 4). All of them date to phase С2 of the Roman Period; their style suggests exchange between the local community and the people of the Wielbark Culture in the Elbląg Heights.

The article discusses three bow brooches found in recent years in Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation coinciding with the historic territories of Sambia and Natangia. All the brooches are stray finds either picked up during fieldwalking or found by accident. They represent different types, each with a different provenance. Chronologically they all belong in the Late Migration Period, from its earliest to its final phase – the brooches from Kievskoe, Zelenogradsk District (Fig. 2:1), and Ušakovo, Gur'evsk District (Fig. 2:2) may be referred to phase E1, the brooch from Okunevo, Zelenogradsk District (Fig. 2:3) to phase E2. The group of late bow brooches is represented by the most recently published specimen from Vavilovo, Bagrationovsk District (Fig. 2:4) which dates to phase E3. The brooches under discussion have added to our source database of this category of artefacts from the territory of the Dollkeim/Kovrovo Culture, improving our understanding of its connections during the late Migration Period. It is notable that all three brooches published here for the first time (Kievskoe, Ušakovo and Okunevo) belong to types previously not recorded sin the Dollkeim/Kovrovo territory.

In 2006, at the fortified settlement Kamsvikus (Fig. 1, 2) close to Timofeevka village in Sambian Peninsula (former Tammau, Kr. Insterburg), a belt-buckle type Snartemo-Sjörup (Fig. 3) was accidentally discovered. At the same time, five Roman coins and a couple of pieces of silver artefacts I was found in a close vicinity of the find-spot. All of them are stored now in the Kaliningrad Regional Museum of History and Arts. The belt-buckle is made of gilded silver and decorated in niello. Buckles type Snartemo-Sjörup belonged to a male belts. They are known from both from warriors’ burials (Fig. 4) and from bog finds. The buckle from Kamsvikus is certainly an import from southern Scandinavia and may be securely dated to the end the 5th and the beginning of the 6th century AD, therefore it proves a Scandinavian influences within the Dollkeim/Kovrovo milieu in the late phase of the Migration Period.
