The paper aims at refining the information about the composition of a ‘hoard’ found by amateur treasure hunters in Dolné Orešany, Trnava dist. in Slovakia. The ‘hoard’ contains 86 bronze decorations and, initially, it was attributed to the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries. Most items are late Avar decorations the origin and chronology of which is beyond any doubt. Several items, however, aroused suspicions. One of the fittings was classified as Carolingian and, unfortunately, was published as such. Further studies revealed that the ‘hoard’ included items that should be dated back to the period between 1300 and 1450 AD instead. This applies to the fitting initially described as Carolingian. The paper also questions the chronology of some well-known finds that have long been considered to be early medieval.
