Abstract
The article presents a hoard from the Final Bronze Age found in 2005 in the cadastre of Dolany-Nové Sady - "Sádek", Olomouc District (CZ). It consists of 2 bronze axes, 3 bronze cheek-pieces of a horse's bit, 2 bronze phalerae, decorated bronze belt sheet, 6 fragments of 3 different plano-convex ingots and ceramic vessel.
The paper deals with the chronological-typological evaluation of the hoard and especially the motivations for its deposition in connection with supra-regional long-distance roads. Authors discuss the model of social organization of the landscape in the Low Jeseník Mountains area and selected adjacent regions.
