| Description | The study deals with a new category of specific archaeological finds originating from the environment of the Slav elites of the Carolingian East. These are spurs of the Bašelj type, which had until recently been known only in the territory of present-day Slovenia. New excavations at Pohansko near Břeclav have yielded analogical artefacts from Moravia. They were uncovered in grave No. 105 at the newly discovered Great Moravian church at Pohansko near Břeclav. In the text the authors summarise the contacts between the Eastern Alps and Moravia and show the ways in which these exceptional objects could have travelled between the two regions. |
