Early Iron Age hoard from Jodłowno, Northern Poland

Abstract

The hoard from Jodłowno, near Gdańsk, about 27 km from the coast of the Baltic Sea in northern Poland, was found in 2021. The hoard, comprising 68 metal artefacts, was accidentally discovered during an authorised metal detector survey in the area. Its upper part was disturbed upon discovery, but the lower one has remained intact, enabling the reconstruction of the finds’ position within the deposit. The hoard included four cast hollow ankle rings, six bow-shaped neck rings, two pieces of casting waste, three neck ring and bracelet fragments, four forged blades and fragments, and forty-nine cast metal bars. The paper aims to present this unique find assemblage from Poland and the results of the first attempt at reconstructing the production methods of certain artefacts by analysing the traces on their surfaces.
