Abstract
This work is a contribution to archaeometallurgical studies on the Unetice axes in Poland. The research was initiated by a single find of the Wroclaw-Szczytniki flanged axe recovered from the village of Koperniki (Lower Silesia, Poland). The axe was examined in terms of raw-material profile (ED-XRF) as well as its micro-, and macrostructure (OM). The spatial distribution, deposition context, and raw-material profiles of the remaining Unetice axes from Central-Eastern Europe, with a special emphasis put on those recovered from the Polish land, were also juxtaposed throughout this work. It has been established that the axe from Koperniki was cast in standard Sn-bronze alloyed from so-called Eastern Alpine copper, and thus, the axe may be considered as one of the very last Wroclaw-Szczytniki specimens emerging in the Odra and Vistula Basins. Although the casting was intensively plastic-worked out, the axe from Koperniki itself was not used in the past. Hence, the statement that the axe was intended to serve as a prestigious or insignia metal object rather than fulfil utilitarian functions seems reasonable. The obtained conclusions indicate that the single wet-findings of the Wroclaw-Szczytniki axes (including the specimen from Koperniki) reflect indeed the aquatic hierophanies of single hoards. Furthermore, having analysed the results of the research performed we can state that the raw-material profile of some Unetice axes presents the chronological sensitivity, and thus, confirms their usability for raw-material dating, especially concerning so-called single finds.
