This article focuses on the hillfort ‘Šobes’, a multilayered site in Southern Moravia, Czech Republic, with archaeological evidence of largely undisturbed human activity from the Late Neolithic to the present. The most prominent occupation phase is a Late and Final Bronze Age hillfort, notable for extraregional contacts and a rich artefact assemblage. The aim of the research was to analyse a unique bronze collection acquired without metal detecting, using typo-chronological methods and elemental composition analysis to assist in dating. The chosen approach was informed by prior research on dated Moravian bronze artefacts. During analysis, a distinct group of small tools – identified as awls and chisels – was examined for use-wear traces to assess their function. The results reflect the entire bronze assemblage from the site, revealing a largely homogeneous Late and Final Bronze Age tin-bronze group with a few younger items. Importantly, the first evidence for bronze production at the site using fahlore-based copper imported from other regions was identified.
