The article is devoted to the results of testing the chemical composition of the bronze axe. The analysis was carried out using the EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) method, and it was used to determine the content of particular elements in the alloy. The significant content of nickel in the studied raw material does not have true analogies among other bronze objects analysed for a metallurgical point of view and allows the researchers to determine the examined alloy as “tin-nickel” bronze.

In the spring of 2018, one of the inhabitants of Krosno reported to the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Rzeszów the discovery of a bronze axe in the area of Miejsce Piastowe, Krosno district, near the Winna Mountain (height 342, 6 m a.s.l.). The item was uncovered in poor condition: the central part of the axe and the butt were broken, only a part of the cutting edge was preserved, 4.5 cm long. Metallurgical studies were carried out for the axe, which indicated that it was cast from tin bronze. The axe represents the type of flanged axes. Such axes appeared in Europe in the Early Bronze Age (the end of BrA1), and with varying degrees of intensity they were used up to BrD. In the northern outskirts of the Low Beskids there were three similar tools, such as the item from Jasło, site 29, from Trzcinica, „Wały Królewskie”, Jasło district and from Trepcza, Sanok district, site 2. The shape of the cutting edge and its symmetrical thickening of the sides of the axe discovered in Miejsce Piastowe may suggest references to the items from Trepcza and Trzcinica. Its chronology can be referred to times corresponding to BrB. Its presence is related to the settlement of the Ottomani-Füzesabony culture.
