Jan Bartek – AncientPages.com –<\/strong> During a field search in the Borki forest in Masuria, Poland, local history enthusiasts discovered intriguing Roman-era artifacts.<\/p>\n The society Wendrusz Historical and Exploration Society of the W\u0119gorzewo Land initially anticipated the discovery of buttons and shells from World War II. However, Bartosz \u0141aszczuk and Tomasz Trypu\u0107 from the society unexpectedly unearthed archaeological treasures. These included four brooches, also known as fibulae, a ring, and fragments of other decorative items, which likely include additional fibulae.<\/p>\n Credit: Anna Dymkowska-Kowalska, Wendruscz Society<\/em><\/p>\n The Wendrusz Historical and Exploration Society of the W\u0119gorzewo Land, established in 2021, is dedicated to the study and dissemination of local history. The society has curated a historical room at the erstwhile W\u0119gorzewo railway station, where it amasses memorabilia pertinent to the region’s history.<\/p>\n In previous instances, society members have transferred various artifacts to monument protection services; these include a socketed axe and a dagger blade dating back approximately 3,000 years discovered during agricultural activities. Furthermore, they played an instrumental role in preserving significant documents related to the Evangelical Parish in Kuty found during the refurbishment of an old school building. Some of these invaluable documents date back as far as the 18th century.<\/p>\n The recent discovery could potentially signify the presence of a cemetery or settlement of either the Bogaczewo or Sudovian culture from the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd centuries CE, the so-called younger period of Roman influence.<\/p>\n The Bogaczewo culture\u00a0derives its name from the archaeological site in Bogaczewo near Gi\u017cycko.<\/p>\n Credit: Anna Dymkowska-Kowalska, Wendruscz Society<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Four](\"https:\/\/www.ancientpages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/borkiforestartifact.jpg\")
