AI Summary

Around 2,400 years ago, a group at Łysa Góra in northeastern Poland deliberately smashed a bronze Celtic helmet, broke it into fragments and deposited it in a pit alongside iron adzes and a scythe. The helmet, identified as a rare Berru‑type, belongs to a class usually recovered from elite Celtic burials across western Europe, from Champagne in France to Dürrnberg in Austria. Its discovery, reported in Antiquity, marks the first known instance of this helmet type found outside the Celtic heartland in the 4th century B.C.
