Celtic bronze bracelet discovered in Poland


A Celtic bronze bracelet dating back to the 3rd century B.C. has been found in southeastern Poland.


Scientists were informed of the discovery by the finder. Only fragments of the bracelet were preserved. According to the archaeologist, it is hard to determine the circumstances in which the ornament ended up in the ground. The fact that it was discovered in the fragmented form drew the attention of scientists – it could be deliberately destroyed.


Archaeologists know from previous studies that ancient Celtic settlement had existed near the village Pakoszówka. There are other monuments of this period in the collections of the Historical Museum in Sanok – mainly fragments of pottery, a fragment of glass bracelet and a gold coin. “Maybe the owner of the bracelet lived in the village, the traces of which have been recorded in the same place” – believes Kotowicz.
