| Description | The hoards of bronze jewels of the same type outside the settlement or grave context raise questions about the origin and reason for their deposition. One of the hypotheses is the idea of wandering craftsmen. The use-wear analysis and the analysis of the decoration handwriting routine can support this idea or reliably exclude it. On the example of the findings of three decorated discoid pins from Pravčice and a comparison with another similar artifact from Blučina, we will present a suitable method for validating the hypothesis of wandering craftsmen. |
