The paper presents a newly discovered hoard of bronze ornaments, which was found in November 2014 in Brzeg, Rzeczyca commune, Tomaszów Mazowiecki district (Fig. 1). After the initial analysis of the artefacts included in the deposit, it was found that there were 4 oval bronze plates with eyelet, decorated with two rows of ambient points embossed from the bottom, 35 pipe-shaped salta leone coils with a total length of 2,941 m and fragments of a pottery vessel in which the bronze ornaments were placed. The pot belongs to the G123 variant (Górski 2007), with an underlined shoulder and a neck folded outwards, with a slightly thickened rounded/truncated edge, the bottom is not separated (Fig. 2: 1). Spectrometric analysis has shown that all artefacts belong to high-tin bronzes (Table 1). After conducting a formal analysis, mainly of the metal artefacts included in the hoard, and to a lesser extent taking into account the discovered vessel, the time when the hoard from Brzeg was deposited, should be located in the BrD-HA1 phases, which corresponds to the range of 1350-1150 BC in absolute dating.
In 2016, during excavations on a military site, part 1-24, in Las Puławski, a number of remains connected with the 20th century warfare were found. The field fortifications included front-line trenches, communication trenches and shelters. The analysis of their size and function and the artefacts found in the fills indicate that only one of the fortifications may be connected with World War I. The rest of the trenches were built by the 1st Polish Army, which operated in the area in July and August 1944, during an unsuccessful attempt to cross the Vistula River between Puławy and Dęblin.
The barrow cemetery in Łubna (Łubna-Jakusy), Poland, excavated shortly after World War II , is one of the best-known necropolises in the western area of the Trzciniec Cultural Circle. During the archaeological research conducted by K. Jażdżewski, up to 27 mounds were excavated. In this article, the authors present and specify the absolute chronology of this site. Thanks to a search in the museum storerooms, it was possible to obtain osteological material, which was subsequently dated in the Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory using the AM S method. These absolute dates combined with the results of a study of the archaeological material allowed the chronology of almost half of the excavated barrows to be defined. The dates obtained thanks to modelling functions answer the question about the timeframe the necropolis was in use. Additionally, the authors present a probable scenario for the development of the cemetery in Łubna, outlining the direction of expansion and characterizing its spatial arrangement.
