Sažetak
The hoards from northern Bosnia, belonging to the HaA1 phase, i.e. to the period which is throughout Europe marked by depositing extremely great number of hoards of bronze objects. Most of them, in its own distinctive way, are a logical reflection of the cultural circumstances of that time and place. Analyses of chemical content of the objects, revealed a great uniformity in the alloy elements content. Metallographic analyses provided important information about technological processes performed. All analyzed objects were cast in moulds and cooled slowly, and more likely, long stoked at a temperature around 550 degrees centigrade. Apart from the collective value, apostrophized is a possibility to recognize the hoards as an individual precious object. In some cases the hoards are understood to have the prominent attributes of male base which is cognitively connected with a category of the ambivalent warrior – farmer who used to perform different functions in the society in different social circumstances. One can recognize a status suggested by some items as direct indicators of the status symbols of their possessor and his manipulations of the cultural “knowledge” either as a whole or in such fragments. The same is asserted by the way of how specific parts are fragmented in terms of the complexity of pars pro toto communication (non)verbal system, and consequently the creation of interpersonal relationships in the society. Since attention is drawn to a “ritual as an activity” by way of which the “subject” of the hoards was deliberately left intact, it explicitly testifies to their symbolic role of perception of a completely built identity.
