Baltic interaction during early Period IV of the Nordic Bronze Age: a travelling bronze smith behind the deposition of the Grisby hoard from Bornholm?

• A hoard of Period IV containing both whole sets of female orna- ments and some scrap metal was deposited in two parts, separating the scrap metal and the whole objects. Among the scrap metal was also found personal male objects of a Nordic razor and a metal arrowhead. The hoard contained mostly Nordic objects, some freshly cast, but also imports from northern Germany/Poland, which suggests a travelling metal smith as the person who deposited the two parts of the hoard.
