Six gold bracelets from the Final Bronze Age (1400 to 800 BC). At the end of the Bronze Age, metallurgy was in full expansion and Brittany was at the heart of a vast network of exchanges. While deposits of bronze objects are quite frequent, those with gold objects are much rarer. This practice of burial is probably associated with a religious or funerary cult.
