Abstract
In summer 2003 a bronze bracelet has been found by fortune not far from the place of the excavation in a Bronze
Age cemetery. & e place of discovery is on the southern edge of the Lake Bistreţ, village Plosca, Dolj County (Fig.
1). It is possible that the bracelet could be a piece from a bronze hoard lost today.
Broken from old time, the bracelet is decorated by incisions (Fig. 2). From the morphological point of view the
most important element is the triangular section, so it could say that the piece belong to a large category defi ned
on this element. Such bracelets are typical for the hoards belonging to the so called Cincu-Suseni type, from the
beginning of the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt A) especially in Transylvania (Fig. 3).
In the area of the lake Bistreţ were searched some objects with fl utted pottery belonging to the same period, to the
so called Vârtop culture. It is very possible that the bracelet from Plosca belong to this culture reached the southern
Oltenia as a result of the long distance exchange.
