The set of objects of glassy materials under examination counted close to 1300 pieces. Graves from the Bronze Age contained about 20 beads, those from Ha C more than 1250 beads and 2 heads of bronze pins. The older pieces are homogeneous from a formal point of view, that is, they are plain, made of a clearly translucent turquoise glass. The younger objects were manufactured either of weakly translucent blue and/or opaque yellow glass. Physicochemical analyses have demonstrated that the clearly translucent turquoise glasses constituted “true” Low Magnesium, High Potassium Glass (LMHK) that was typical of the European Bronze Age. The weakly translucent blue material represented so-called glassy faience (Low Magnesium, Medium Potassium Glass [LMMK] and Low Magnesium Glass of Glassy Faience [LMGGF] were identified in it) and objects made of it were spread through the territories of modern Poland in the Ha C (and in the beginning of Ha D). The yellow opaque glass can be assigned to “true” Low Magnesium Glass (LMG), widespread in Europe in the Early Iron Age and later.
