The paper publishes and analyzes the set of metal products of the Late Bronze Age, discovered in 2013 by the Fastov archaeological expedition in the arable layer of barrow group 6 of the Voitsekhovka cemetery, located on the left bank of the Middle Sluch river in Eastern Volhynia. The collection includes 31 items, mostly highly fragmented. These are 7 knives, 5 sickles, 4 celts, 3 knives-daggers, a fragment of a sword blade, 4 spearheads, a cheekpiece, a fragment of a pin-wand of Gordeevka type, 2 bracelets, a fragment of a rod, 2 bronze ingots. Finds can be dated preliminary to the BrD—HaA period. It cannot be excluded that at least some of the finds were part of a plowed-up hoard/hoards buried in the area of the cemetery.
The article is the first complete publication of this finds. The authors suggest analogies from the sites of the Carpathian-Danube region and the North-Black Sea region.
