Siekierka brązowa z Falejówki

The article is devoted to the find of a bronze socketed axe discovered in 2013 in Falejówka (Sanok district). The find was made on the top of Mount Wroczeń, several meters from the hoard of bronze items (Falejówka, hoard II), dated to HaA1. This artefact belongs to the so-called “beaked” or “horned” axes, but none of the numerous specimens of this type is an exact equivalent of the discussed find. Stylistic features – primarily the characteristic trident motif decorating it, which occurs on axes discovered mainly in today's Hungary – allow the item from Falejówka to be dated HaA1-HaB1. The quality of the casting proves that the axe was made with good knowledge of the mould technology and the processes of smelting and pouring the liquid alloy, using bronze with a low tin content. As for its composition, metals derived from sulphide ores, mainly antimony, have also been identified.

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.
