Between 2020 and 2023, six iron battle axe heads from the Medieval or Early Modern period were found accidentally or during searches for artefacts using metal detectors in the vicinity of Sandomierz and Opatów. The oldest of these items is an iron axe-hammer head of the bradatica type from the 9 th to 10 th centuries, while the youngest is a small battle axe (known as an „obuszek”) from the Late Middle Ages or the Early Old Polish period (16 th –18 th centuries).

The article discusses the results of excavations carried out in 2006–2009 at the Early Medieval barrow cemetery in Międzygórz. During the excavations, 5 burial mounds were identified. In all of them, cremation burials were found. In four cases, the burned remains of the deceased were scattered directly on the surface of the mounds or originally deposited in some organic containers, and in one example they were placed in a pottery urn placed on the top of the mound. There were also remains that could be associated with funeral ceremonies held at the cemetery and in honour of the dead. The cemetery should be dated to the 8 th –9 th century.
