Therefore an-otlja method of wcaring it was reconstructcd. taking into consideration presenling ihCM clinktng piece* in the front part, similarly to a belt with shect ornament*, «htdi I an illustration (Fig. 617) of a paper on hoards by W. Szafrański (1955) In g it part of (ircui Poland, fragment* of iron chains of undeftned funcimn occurred it Bientdtki ncar Kalisz, Osiek and Przybysław, districl of Jarocin.

In the ftrst from the listed places. apart from a fragmented chain. a battlc-ax4*nd | spearhead were found, which wcrc element* of weapon belongtng to tbepoipłc buncd there (Jakimowicz 1935: 254. Fig* 24. 2S). The baltle-axes, to uhicliSouthern provenancc is assigncd, arc also represented by the exemplar from Gutów Dear Oalrów Wielkopolski, found during amateur excavalions. Among the ' liH.ii connccted w ith Scythians in that part of Poland. there arc bronzc arrow-Hcid* from (.ubnice and Zagórzyn. In the first of the places (which used to bclung ¹⁰ *he province of Kalisz), also a bronzc acinace* was found, which today is in the collection orthe Museum in Wieluń (Kaszewski 1986: 144. Fig. XXX: 20). The tind* of iron spearheads, apart from the mentioned one in Biematki. were madę in: Brzezie, grave 295 (Pudełko 1996: 181, Platę III: 13); Bogusław, district of 1’lnzew; Czekanów, district of Ostrów; Kalisz-Piwonicc: Skrajna, district of Kalisz; Szczonów. district of Jarocin; and in Wiórek, district of Ostrów.⁷ A fragment of bronzc latc-Lusatian nec klace dccoratcd with a row of circular bosses (Fig. 11:

1) occurred at the last ccmctcry from the list. which has not becn cxcavated by rcscarchcrs Bcfore that an carly-Celtic torc had bcen found in Klonówck. district ofTurek (Kostrzcwski 1955: 179, Fig. 507), and a knobbed bracelct in already mentioned Piwonicc (S. Krukowski 1914: 43 -50).

An uniquc find is a bronzc minor from the ccmctcry in Pleszew (sitc 2, grave **l)(Fig. 10: I). M. Gcdl. assuming its Etruscan provcnancc. dates it to the łlaO (|V88, Platę 21: 570). The pottery materiał acquircd from the savcd part of the •cmetery in principle docs not warrant such lale chronology of that objęci.
