In 2001, approximately 30 bronze hoards were known in the Polish Carpathians. At least 30 more were discovered between 2001 and 2022. An overview of these assemblages sheds some light on the dynamics of changes in the region and its contacts with various areas of Central Europe. While connections with the Carpathian basin initially prevailed (BrABrD), in BrD-HaA artefacts with analogies in the Oder basin and local types (Sieniawa style) became noticeable as well. At the end of the Bronze Age (HaB3), finds suggesting connections with the steppe cultures appeared, and bronze artefacts with analogies in northern Poland dominated in the early Iron Age (HaC-HaD).
