During a survey of the fortified settlement of Lužice culture in position Hradiská, which was also settled in the La Tène Period, a smaller deposit of iron tools was found at the foot of one of the cliffs of a nearby Late La Tène fort at Martáková skala in 1987. The deposit consisted of a massive iron axe with rectangular socket, a big socketed chisel and a knife with tapering tang. Among La Tène hoards all three objects belong to the most frequent and functionally relatively universal tool types. The axe and chisel were used mainly in wood logging and woodworking; the knife was a versatile tool mostly for domestic use or as a weapon in hunting and fighting. The analysis of the deposit inventory showed that the objects had been produced and buried in the Late La Tène period, at the earliest around the turn of the two last centuries BC (level LTD 1). Thus they belong to the time horizon in which the custom of burying iron tools deposits and the reasons for doing so are the most notable, and concrete acts of such burials are the most numerous. The hoard might also have had a votive character, although find circumstances rather signal accidental and temporary abandonment of the objects. Apart from the referred to hill-forts the article mentions sites in neighbouring villages of Bošáca (the hill-fort is less marked and the character of its settlement less clear) and Trenčianske Bohuslavice (oppidum), whose location and chronological classification are comparable. The article also states an absence of lowland agricultural settlements in the settlement structure of the micro region of Bošácka and Moravskolieskovská valleys.

The hoard from the village Podkonice is one of the group of hoards, found in the mountainous region in the upper Hron valley, the area stretching from the vicinity of Banská Bystrica to Podkonice, or Nemecká. Together with Podkonice, there are seven other sites with hoard finds: Baláže, Brezno, Ľubietová, Moštenica, Nemecká, Slovenská Ľupča/Podkonice. The site where the hoard was found is located in the north-eastern part of the area of Podkonice, at the place called Igovo. The hoard was found by local people before the year 2009. According to the discoverer, the hoard was located at a depth of 50 – 60 cm below the present surface. It was found in the original position. Through its excavating he did not notice any particular delimitation of space of hoard. The hoard consists of a bronze kettle in which 15 bronze axes, 4 spearheads and a sickle were found. The axes were on the bottom, the sickle among them; the spearheads were at the top. The content of the kettle consisted of objects, which were slightly damaged by use (?) or got damaged during processing. The total amount of metal in 21 objects is 3669 g. 15 axes can be divided into two types. The majority (13 pcs) belong to the socketed axes. Two of them are axes with a socket and a Y decoration. The four spearheads, of which two are decorated with an incised ornament. The sickle can be assigned to the type with the right cutting angle and two back ribs. The kettle with a handle is on the basis of some characteristics, especially the shape of the cross fixture, identical to the Merhart’s Group B. The slightly identical bottom with a standing rim also corresponds to the type B1. The outline of the lower body also suggests the type A, particularly Patay’s variant A2. In the literature directed to the bronze vessels, respectively the bronze industry in general, we were only able to find one direct parallel from Unterglauheim in Bavaria. According to the accompanying findings, both objects are dated in HB1. The damaged kettle was used for the deposition of working tools and common types of weapons. They present goods designated for trade exchange, the craftsman added some damaged products by mistake. The environment with a dominant rock massif does not give us a clear answer as to why it was deposited here. For ‘temporary’ deposition, the rock could serve as an orientation point, it could also be a place of some cult act, but the content of the kettle does not support this possibility. The character of the country does not suggest any roads suitable for transportation by use of animal force, but more likely for load bearers who were used to much heavier loads than the deposited objects, weighing only 3.5 kg.
