Abstract:

The hoard from Rosko (Site 47, Wielkopolskie Voivodeship, Czarnków-Trzcianka district) contained at least 71 bronze artefacts, mainly socketed axes, and is dated to HaB2-HaB3. This study focuses on analysing the shape of the axes, evaluating their morphological differences, and assigning these artefacts to the currently accepted typological classification by Kuśnierz. Absolute measurements and photographic documentation were required for geometric morphometric method (GMM) analyses, conducted on 66 axes. A key objective of the study was to compare the outcomes of GMM analyses using the landmark and outline methods. The results revealed intratypological differences among the Czarków type axes, variant C, suggesting that the casts were likely made using more than one mould. Variations in shape, production techniques, and usage indicated that the axes could not be unanimously traced back to a single casting mould.
