SHIELD FIBULAE FROM THE TERRITORY OF THE DĘBCZYNO GROUP
Abstract
Impressively decorated shield fibulae (Ger. Sehieldfibeln), used from phase C2 until phase
C2/C3), belong to the most elaborated metal artifacts from the Late Roman Iron Age. They have been used by
communities living in Scandinavia, on the Elbe lowlands as well as by society o f the Dębczyno group in
Pomerania and the Cecele phase o f the Wielbark culture. The paper is an attempt o f a thorough chronological
analysis o f these fibulae from the Dębczyno group along with the burial assemblages in which they had been
found. It is suggested that these adornments were an element o f the women dress decoration as they have been
found mostly in rich burials. It is argued that presence o f the shield fibulae on this territory is indicative o f wide
contacts o f the Late Roman Iron Age elite with Scandinavia and the Elbe lowland region.
