Abstract

This article evaluates finds from a burial-ground dated back to the early Roman period which was discovered during a ploughing 1,4 km southeastern far from a village Ohnišťany (Distr. Hradec Králové).

Most of the findings became a part of a depository of National Museum in Prague (68 finds). Eight graves with brooches, knifes, scissors and weapons are preserved.

The disturbed graves have afforded a number of romanprovincial imports - bronze vessels (for example a service of a dipper and a strainer of a type Eggers 162 with a stamp of a producer C MANSVANNII) and brooches from eastern and western provinces. Distance contacts from territory of Baltic tribes are documented by a belt fastener.

The large number of imports evidently relate to a very good connection with a trade network.
