prominent females. A characteristic jewelry form of the Eastern Celts,
which became a part of a broader fashion, is a bronze fibula of Duchcov
type with a ribbed bow.
As a symbol of the social status of the deceased we can also recognize the
extremely rarely preserved find - a massive iron necktie with thickenings
at the ends. Discovered were also the remains of most probably a second
necktie made from iron sheet metal and decorated with oblique lines and
impressed circles.
It is a form and decoration of jewelry typical for the period of Early La
Tène known mostly from Central Europe. As an international element
could be designated also the find of a hollow two-piece metal ring, most
probably an amulet or part of a belt garniture.
The lady from Srednica was placed into the grave with numerous grave
goods which connect her to the material world of the Early La Tène pe-
riod of Eastern Celts. At the same time she got elements, characteristic
for the connections with the older central European traditions. It seems
that she was a keeper of traditions and the forbearer of first Celtic lineages
which settled on the territory surrounding today’s Ptuj.
