Abstract

The Gogolewo hoard is one of many assemblages of metal objects from the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages that have been discovered in western Poland. Its composition is unremarkable, consisting of two sickles and a spearor javelinhead, with no imports or unusual objects. Although it has been mentioned in several publications, it has never been thoroughly studied. This text focuses on this deposit because, according to archival information, it was discovered in a ‘pile of stones’. For this reason, it was included in studies conducted as part of a project examining hoards found in such contexts. The article explores the relationship between Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages settlements and the cultural significance of the hoard’s deposition site during this period.

Keywords:

Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, Lusatian Urnfield cultures, settlement studies, cultural landscape, metal object hoards
