Man uncovers unexpected find in scrapyard
A man in the city of Hurobišov in southeastern Poland discovered a fragment of a war shield dating back approximately 1,800 years. The shield contains burned human bones and is believed to be associated with a warrior from the Vandals tribe. Archaeological analyses indicate that the shield was exposed to high heat and is likely that it was buried with a burned warrior, in a burial ritual involving fire. The discovery, which possibly dates to the second century AD, offers a rare glimpse into the collective burial practices of ancient Germanic communities. Although the original burial site is unknown due to destruction, it is probable that it contained additional weapons and military equipment.
