A hoard of the Early Urnfield Culture from Trbovlje and the river route along the Sava

Abstract

Bronze objects were discovered by chance at the end of the 1960s on the northern edge of Trbovlje during construction of the residential neighborhood of Volkova Loka. The finds can be classified as a small hoard with a mixed composition. It consisted of a fragmentary willow-leaf shaped spearhead, an Arco type sword, and two tanged sickles, along with fragments of a sickle point and the blade of a sword. On the basis of the typological and chronological analyses of the objects, the hoard is assigned to horizon II of Slovenian hoards or the Ha A1 phase.

Keywords: Central Slovenia, Trbovlje, Late Bronze Age, Early Urnfield culture, hoards, spearheads, swords, tanged sickles, casting waste, PIXE analyses
