In 2021, a functionally undetermined ring and a deformed upright of a Roman lantern were discovered with the help of a metal detector on the slope of the Hušák hill in the cadastral district of Lázy (district Svitavy). Both objects exhibit a similar metal composition. This is the second published find of a part of a Roman lantern from the territory of the Czech Republic and from the Barbaricum in general. The question remains whether the presence of a Roman lantern is related to the evidenced military intervention in the form of a Roman temporary military camp at the nearby town of Jevíčko, and whether the deposition on the slope of a prominent landmark was connected with ritual activities, or with metalworking, or with both.

The excavations of the Czech Institute of Egyptology at the temple at Usli (Bárta et al. 2013b) have brought to light several bronze fragments (Figs. 1–2), which have been found in a secondary position among the blocks of the stone floor of the temple. Fragments Aand B were examined following archaeological documentation by means of ametallographic section and analysed by SEM–EDS. Fragment A has been interpreted as a bronze plaque from a foundation deposit, made of leaded bronze with traces of arsenic, cast without further processing (Figs. 4–6, Table 1). Fragment B is a fragment of a chisel, made of tin bronze with 0.7 % Pb and 0.1 % P, annealed after casting (Figs. 7–8, Table 1). The chisel might have been part of the foundation deposit as well; tools had occurred in foundation deposits since Dynasty 11 and metal/bronze plaques since Dynasty 19 (Weinstein 1973). Analogies of the artefacts have been published by Cowell from Nuri (1997) and from New Kingdom contexts e.g. by Schoske (2007). The current state of research does not allow us to determine whether the fragments could be dated to the New Kingdom or the Napatan Period.

Several small hoards of bronze objects have recently been found in the territory of north-eastern Slovakia. One of them – including two small bronze socketed axes and one spiral-shaped ornament – was found in the cadastral territory of the municipality of Stakčín (district of Snina), position Hlboké. The finds can be generally classified under the Late and Final Bronze Age, from the point of view of their cultural affiliation with the Gáva culture. Apart from typological and topographical analysis of the find, all three objects were subjected to elemental analysis by means of the XRF method. This hoard enriches current knowledge about the settlement of this so far scarcely studied area east of the upper course of the Laborec River and about the finds located in mountainous regions.

The paper presents the results of archaeological and metallurgical research performed on a hoard of three metal objects: a double spiral ornament, a dagger and a hammer-axe. The artefacts were discovered at site 2 in Kałdus, Chełmno commune, kujawsko-pomorskie voivodeship. The objects were discovered within the Wiórek phase of a Funnel Beaker culture context. They were probably deposited into a votive pit. Typological analyses have been carried out. The relative chronology of the objects was determined by the results of typological analyses. The dagger is of Usatovo type and the typological classification of the other objects causes difficulties. The hoard is dated to the second half of the 4th millennium cal. BC. The artefacts’ chemical composition and macrostructure analyses were also performed. It has been concluded that all the objects from the hoard were made of arsenic copper with the dagger also enriched with arsenic minerals. The manufacture technique and objects’ usage traces have been recognized. Using the results of typological and chemical analyses the provenance of the hoard from Kałdus is discussed
