topics. So far out of the main interest is the increasing quantity of foreign artefacts which generally
belong to the Vekerzug culture (or through its spreading objects of other Eastern cultures). The
authors of this paper believe that their systematic evaluation is essential for progress in this area of
research. The volume of individual artefacts and associated contexts is constantly increasing. This
is due to systematic research conducted by archaeological institutions, extensive development-led
excavations (construction of highways, expansion of industrial zones, etc.), and detector survey carried
out by amateurs, which has been monitored with partial success. Systematic scientific research
by specialists, however, still lags behind. This paper attempts to partly fill this gap.
The present collection of Medieval and early modern period weapons, armours, and equipment represents a basic source of information for both professionals and amateurs. The catalogue part of the publication, complemented with rich pictorial supplement, comprises 430 processed entries related to the items in the collection whose cataloguing took place till the end of 2017.
