THE BRONZE AGE AND THE CELTIC WORLD
show certain local features, some of which, like the T-shaped finials, suggest a later date.
In Schleswig-Holstein Splieth mentions four examples," all isolated finds, which he
dates considerably later than his example of Type A.
Tj^e C, with the oval butt, is relatively common in Hungary. I have been
able to trace at least eight specimens. Three of these are from unknown sites," two
from Kis-koszey (Battina) in Baranza county," one from Sajo-Gomor,'^ one from
Hajdu-boszormeny in Hajdu county, which was found with a hoard containing three
of Type D,'-* and one was dredged up out of the Danube at St. Margaret's island in
Buda-Pest.'= Two have been found in Lower Austria, one at Petronell,'* east of Vienna
and the other, which was found in a barrow with a skeleton, a long pin and two
bracelets, at Winklarn.'^ One has also been figured by Dr. Smid as having been
found in Camiola, though its discovery is not described in the text.'' In Italy one
specimen has been found near Lake Trasimene,'' a neighbourhood which has produced
several examples of Type D, but this type does not seem to have been fotmd in France,
and only one very doubtful specimen is recorded for the British Isles. This type seems
also to be rare or absent from Germany, except in the extreme north, for the only
specimens which I can find recorded are from Mecklenburg and Brandenburg.*" One or
two have been recorded from Denmark."
T3^e D, as we have seen, does not differ much from Type C. It is one of the
commonest types found in Himgary, and I have been able to trace seventeen examples.
Of these two are from unknown sites,** three from the Hajdu-boszormeny hoard,*^ two
