On 20th January 2015 the co-author of this paper Piotr N. Kotowicz received information about an accidental discovery of bronze artefacts in the village of Rzepedź (Sanok district, Subcarpathian province). The discoverers — Łukasz Solon and Ewelina Turzańska from Sanok, stumbled upon them the day before, while wandering around the village. According to the oral relation of Ł. Solon on the background of the brown earth and yellowish grass, he spotted a fragment of an item resembling “shaft-hole axe”, which was clearly visible thanks to the green patina covering it. The intrigued finder unearthed it by digging a rather shallow dig (up to 15 cm), revealing in its vicinity additional five pieces of bronze coiled spirals. Realizing the importance of the finds he took out the items, but refrained from further exploration of the dug hole. When the unearthed items were shown at the Historical Museum in Sanok, it became clear that they might be a part of a hoard from the Bronze age.

The find of a plastically decorated daub from Tornaľa has been known in the literature since the 1960s. However, despite its significance, the published mentions lack the basic data and thus relevant information not only about the heterogeneity of the find, but also about its quantity and further fundamental qualitative characteristics. The aim of the paper is therefore to process and fully evaluate the find in the context of similar artefacts coming mostly from the territory of Slovakia. In general, the find from Tornaľa represents a larger typologically diverse set of decorated and undecorated daub fragments, which comes from the destruction of a building with a wood frame construction. Within the shapes, the occurrence of various tip-shaped formations dominates. Regarding the decoration, a plastic relief in the form of ribs and protrusions appear most frequently, however, a spiral motif has also been used. Based on the pottery accompanying the set of artefacts in question, the whole find can be dated back to the first half of the Middle Bronze Age, represented by the BB1–BB2 (BC1) phases. In south-central Slovakia this dating corresponds with the early stage of the Piliny culture. The findings achieved in the article complement and expand the knowledge about the currently still little explored phenomenon concerning the wall relief decoration of the buildings in the Bronze Age.
