Abstract

The paper presents a stray find, part of the archaeological record of the Late Bronze Age settlement and cemetery discovered in Győr-Ménfőcsanak-Széles-földek-dűlő. The cast “wheel-shaped pendant” has three close analogies: one from an unknown site in Hungary, another from a depot in Slovakia, and the third from a lakeside settlement in Switzerland. The “pendant” could be assigned to the late Urnfield Culture (Ha B1).
