It dates between 2000 and 1800 BC. Today the depot is located in the Regional Museum in Teplice .
Find history
The depot was first mentioned in 1907. It was discovered during regulation work in a hop garden. The date of the find and the exact location are unknown. A single find of an eyelet collar from the Aunjetice culture also comes from Velká Černoc .
composition
The depot consists of two bronze dagger blades . The longer one has an arched neck and no rivet holes. The shorter one has five rivet holes. Since the patina of the two pieces is different, it is unclear whether they were actually found together.
