Bronze bracelets deposit from Niewierszyn by the Pilica River

In the autumn of 2017 in Niewierszyn in the Aleksandrów commune, a deposit of two bronze bracelets was discovered. The discovery site was on the edge of the Pilica floodplain terrace.The bracelets were almost identical in size and ornamentation. Also, the chemical composition of the bronze from which they were made was very similar. It may be hypothesised that the ornaments were made by the same manufacturer, probably at a similar time. Based on the analysis of the form and ornamentation, the bracelets in question can be dated to HA1. This dating corresponds to the settling of the areas in the Pilica river basin by communities associated with the Konstantynów Łódzki group, characterized by features of the early Urnfield culture. Virtual modelling of casting and an experimental cast were used to elucidate the manufacturing technique. Apart from a chronological and cultural analysis, the text attempts to show the hoard against a wider (micro-regional) settlement background, including through potential visibility analysis.
