Abstract

In this article we describe the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age deposits from Nieuw-Weerdinge (Netherlands) and Getelo (Germany), each containing two identically shaped knobbed bronze arm rings. These arm rings were already found in the (Getelo) and early 20th (Nieuw-Weerdinge) centuries. The bracelets from Nieuw-Weerdinge have a dark brown patina, those from Getelo a glossy dark green patina. In this contribution their find conditions are stated and parallels discussed.
