An Aegean type Bronze Age razor in the Eastern Carpathian Basin
An Aegean type Bronze Age razor in the Eastern Carpathian Basin

Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to reinterpret the functionality of a bronze, curved blade discovered in agrave near Polgár, Hungary. The find was described as a sickle, but the dating and context of the analogies seemto be inadequate. Another similar and important find from Gánovce, Slovakia is suggested as a local analogy, interms of typology, functionality and context, further highlighting the specialised and rare use of these type ofobjects. Further analogies from the Aegean Bronze Age are presented in order to argue for the functionality ofthe blade from Polgár as a razor.
