Late La Tène bronze fibulae with loops on the foot (fibules à crête). Contacts between Central Europe and the south-eastern Carpathian Basin

The south-eastern Carpathian Basin in the Late Iron Age is marked by the characteristic material heritage of the La Tène culture, which is associated with the Scordisci. In all the phases of development, the Scordisci had intense contacts with the communities living in the area of Central Europe. For the Late La Tène, this is most clearly shown by various items of female costume and jewellery, primarily by different forms of bronze fibulae, such as fibulae with loops at the bent foot (fibules à crête). It is a recognisable and unique form, found at the sites associated with the Scordisci, with parallels found primarily in the settlements in the areas from western Hungary to southern Germany. It is probably a characteristic item of the Late La Tène female costume. Like some other forms of fibulae, it testifies to the existence of a complex network of exchange and contacts between the remote areas of the south-eastern Carpathian Basin and Central Europe, not excluding the possibility of the mobility of particular women who wore such fibulae.
