| Description | A rescue archaeological research on site Hulín U Isidorka resulted in impressive finds from Early Bronze Age. The research comprised a complete settlement area (a settlement and a burial site) of the Nitra culture, a burial site of the advanced Únětice culture and settlement of the Věteřov group. Burial site was dominated by three deep robbed graves (H31, 32, and 38) with well-preserved skeletal remains. Besides pottery, the graves also provided a rich assemblage of metal gifts. Exceptional is a find of six perhaps copper spiral rings. Unique is the preservation of fingerprints on corrosion products on both the outer and inner side of the rings, and residues of animal hairs. In the event of such significance, archaeology has to cooperate with a number of other disciplines. Results of material and technological analyses of metal goods, analyses of the organic residues and fingerprints, anthropological analysis of the skeletal remains, and results of conservation of metal objects, are presented in the paper. |
