Abstract

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).
