Summary/Abstract: Results of the traditional analysis of the fund of finds from the warrior grave uncovered in August 1883 at a La Tène burial ground at the site of Otmarka in the area of former Schnabel’s brickyard on the southern edge of Nový Bydžov, Hradec Králové District, allow chronological classification of this unit to the end of stage LT B2 – beginning of stage LT C1 with significant references to close relationships with the East La Tène environment. Use of computer tomography with identification of – in the Czech Republic – previously unknown engraved decoration of a scabbard opens brand new opportunities to learn about La Tène industry and its context.
