In spring 2012 in the area of the village of Krzyżowice, approximately 15 km SW of Wrocław, an accidental discovery of a brooch was made. The brooch’s bow is cast in bronze, while the preserved fragments of the pin and spring were made of iron. Currently, the length of the artefact is 5 cm, but originally it was probably approximately 5.5 cm, because the base which is slightly curved upwards, was initially straight. All similar brooches come from the territory of the Thuringia tribe in the 5th/6th century AD, namely Thuringia and Bohemia. Such a dating places the brooch among the group of artefacts representing the youngest chronological horizon of the Przeworsk cultural area.

The article discusses three bow brooches found in recent years in Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation coinciding with the historic territories of Sambia and Natangia. All the brooches are stray finds either picked up during fieldwalking or found by accident. They represent different types, each with a different provenance. Chronologically they all belong in the Late Migration Period, from its earliest to its final phase – the brooches from Kievskoe, Zelenogradsk District (Fig. 2:1), and Ušakovo, Gur'evsk District (Fig. 2:2) may be referred to phase E1, the brooch from Okunevo, Zelenogradsk District (Fig. 2:3) to phase E2. The group of late bow brooches is represented by the most recently published specimen from Vavilovo, Bagrationovsk District (Fig. 2:4) which dates to phase E3. The brooches under discussion have added to our source database of this category of artefacts from the territory of the Dollkeim/Kovrovo Culture, improving our understanding of its connections during the late Migration Period. It is notable that all three brooches published here for the first time (Kievskoe, Ušakovo and Okunevo) belong to types previously not recorded sin the Dollkeim/Kovrovo territory.
