Celtic Bronze Bracelet Unearthed in Poland

Thursday, March 19, 2015

SANOK, POLAND—A third-century B.C. bronze bracelet was discovered in southeastern Poland and handed over to archaeologist Piotr Kotowicz of the Historical Museum in Sanok. It appears that the bracelet may have been deliberately destroyed and the pieces buried near an ancient Celtic settlement. “Maybe the owner of the bracelet lived in the village, the traces of which have been recorded in the same place,” Kotowicz told Science and Scholarship in Poland. The Celts arrived in the area in the middle of the third century B.C. from the Carpathian Mountains to the south.
