Rare La Tene style Celtic helm and several other items have been discovered in Poland at Łysa Góra which expands the known area of Celtic influence into northern Poland. The helm is a very rare type and one of the few examples known to exist.
Evidence of a defensive settlement spanning roughly three hectares has also been found, with burn marks suggesting possible conflicts between the Celts and other groups, such as the Vandals. Researchers have also uncovered iron tools and bronze ornaments that offer clues about the site’s importance as a trading hub. The variety of objects points to the site’s role in broader European trade networks during the early Iron Age, particularly in the amber trade, a valuable commodity at the time.
