Abstract

A find was made nearby now-defunct sunken lanes in the cadastral territory of Jevíčko-Předměstí, Svitavy district, of a shield boss and two spearheads dated to the period around the Marcomannic Wars. The artefacts were placed in the ground intentionally and without clear traces of activity that would provide for a clear interpretation of the situation; only a positive phosphate analysis might perhaps provide certain indications. Potential considerations include unusual funeral activities, a hoard or an offering, most probably in relation to the defunct lanes.
