Preliminary evaluation of a set of bronze finds from the “sacred” mountain of Oblík in the Slanské vrchy mountain range

Summary/Abstract: In 2020, three metal detectorists handed over a large collection of metal artefacts, a significant portion of which had been discovered over the past 20 years on the dominant Oblík mountain in the Slanské vrchy mountain range. In cooperation with the finders, the Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic conducted archaeological research at the site in 2023 to locate the submitted hoards and isolated finds, as well as identify other objects. The expert evaluation and treatment of the finds is not yet complete. The paper provides an overview of the current state of research and a preliminary evaluation of the bronze finds.
