A resident of the Lubusz Voivodeship (Poland) found several objects in his field, which turned out to be a very rare find. The farmer decided to clear the land of stones and while working came across several scepters and daggers. The artifacts are made of bronze and belong to the Unetitian culture (XXIV–XVII centuries BC).
The artifacts were lying close to the surface, under the top layer of soil. In addition to three scepters and three daggers, two axes and a chisel were extracted from the ground. According to Norbert Burzynski, an employee of the Voivodeship Historical Reserve, archaeologists rarely find several daggers and scepters in one place. The farmer immediately stopped working so as not to damage the artifacts, and notified the relevant state authorities about them.
The Unetitian culture was widespread during the Bronze Age and occupied part of Central Europe. The remains of the culture are still being discovered by archaeologists: dwellings, ceramic dishes, tools and weapons made of stone (early period) and bronze (late period). The Unetitian culture experienced a crisis and disappeared as a result of the invasion of tribes from the territory east of the Carpathians (modern territory of Ukraine).
