A Bronze Age hoard from Lhota u Chroustovic in the Chrudim region

Abstract

A bronze hoard was found with the help of a metal detector in the cadastral area of Lhota u Chroustovic (Pardubice Region, Czech Republic). The find could partly be documented in situ, however, the hoard was heavily disturbed by deep ploughing.

Four sickles, a socketed axe and a piece of a bronze ingot date the hoard to HA2 or rather to HB1.
