The aim of the paper is to draw attention to a newly discovered locality Balatonalmádi-Felsőhegy, where some Late Avar findings were found in winter 2019. One of them was a fitting in shape of boar head, which with other new findings of this type from Hungary is analysed and put in our earlier published typology. The ‘boar’ on horse harness had its meaning in Late Avar society or in military hierarchy, but its precise content is uncertain.

Until quite lately, in Lublin region, decorated elements of horse harness have been represented by only just one find of a bronze, so called separator of bridle straps, coming from Przewodów. Recently in this area there have been revealed some new artefacts, in the form of a set consisting of plates and fittings of leather straps as well from Sniatycze locality and two separators of bridle straps in the shape of predatory bird's head from the vicinity of Swaryczów. Adornments of a bridle discovered in Sniatycze have quite numerous analogies in assemblages dated to the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age on large European areas. A good circumstance to define a provenience of these objects an analysis of alloying elements of bronze, containing 3% of phosphor admixture, can provide. A higher amount of this chemical element may evidence the decorations were made in a brazing workshop functioned in an east cultural zone. The set of ornaments of horse bridle from Sniatycze may reflect an influence of Cimmerian horizon, or Thraco-Cimmerian one, in the south-east limits of the Lusatian culture area in the late period of the Bronze Age. Separators of bridle straps in the shape of bird's head with a hook-beak originate from the Scythian culture, and similar specimens occur in western Podolia. A role of an impact proceeding from the eastern territory to Lublin region lands in the younger part of the Early Iron Age becomes significant in the light of lots of new finds of eastern origin. These are not only adornments, military accessories and ceramic goods but also funeral customs usually unnoted in the area of the Lusatian culture.

The article deals with selected artefacts from the hillfort of Bojná I-Valy and its nearby surroundings from the high Middle Ages – early post-medieval period which have been brought by years of systematic archaeological investigation of the site and its hinterland. It is an assemblage of finds associated with rider’s equipment and horse harness (spurs, buckles, and bits), militaria (dussack, arrowheads). The hillfort is dated to the Early Middle Ages and after its demise. It did not renew its previous status. Nevertheless, the small assemblage of presented finds means a certain interest in the site and this area in the later period. The artefacts suggest a certain connection with the settlement in its nearby surroundings. They can also point to use of (today almost extinct) routes crossing the Považský Inovec mountain range and connecting the regions of Ponitrie and Považie.

The war booty offering ‘Thorsberger Moor’ in Süderbrarup, Schleswig-Flensburg district, is one of the great offerings with deposits of military equipment from Roman Iron Age in middle and northern Europe. The analyses of the horse harnesses from ‘Thorsberger Moor’ produced new results for typology and development of Germanic harnesses. Different types of harnesses based on this research were defined in addition to previous research. The development of Germanic horse harnesses in general is based on different influences from different cultural areas for example the Roman culture which can be shown on many single elements of the harnesses from ‘Thorsberger Moor’. This article focuses on the connections and influences from the North Danubian area on elements of harnesses from ‘Thorsberger Moor’ from the 3rd century A. D.
