Sixty years after similar discovery author brings an information about new hoards of the Liptov-type swords recently discovered in Bošáca (Western Slovakia), in which tens of bronze artefacts with rich typological-chronological features appeared. This knowledge can help to clarify long-distance contacts in the transitional horizon Trenčianske Bohuslavice/Somotor-Lúčky (Ha A2/Ha B1), e.g. which passes have been used in the Western Carpathians, and to increase knowledge of an exchange of social and cultural influences in the Late and Final Bronze Age.
Illegally stolen hoards from Bošáca, site Špania dolina, are probably related to the massive hilltop settlement Zemianske Podhradie, site Hradiská, and it seems that this place was a significant and strategic place of the Lusatian culture - a centre of concentrated military forces and the elites of the society.
