Dirham Imitations and Glass Beads from the 10th Century Discovered in an Early Medieval Building in Kłodnica, Municipality of Wilków, Lublin Voivodeship
Abstract: The article discusses the finding of two dirham imitations and the accompanying glass beads, which presumably formed a necklace unique in Poland. The artefacts were discovered during research on the early-medieval buildinggranary, uncovered on the hillfort’s open square in Kłodnica, in the municipality of Wilków, Opole Lubelskie county, Lublin Voivodeship. The object has been radiocarbon dated to the end of 10th – first half of the 11th century. Ornaments of this type are known mainly from early-medieval Kievan Rus’, especially from the Volga region and from Scandinavia. During the research, other artefacts with analogies from the areas of Kievan Rus’ were also encountered.
Key words: dirham imitations, Early Medieval Ages, necklace, coin-pendants, glass beads
