Summary/Abstract: In this article an assemblage made out of bronze and amber finds, that had been found in the autumn of 2018 in Mezőzombor-Békás-ér is going to be presented. The chronological analysis of the finds shows, that the assemblage can be dated to the second half of the 7th century BC and the first half of the 6th century BC. According to their analogies each type of objects in the assemblage can be interpreted as jewelleries or clothing decorations. Judging by the signs of wear on the finds we can assume that originally these were not made to be buried. The original context of the objects is uncertain – however it is probable that the artefacts belonged to a burial.
