The article presents a hoard from the Final Bronze Age found in 2005 in the cadastre of Dolany-Nové Sady ‒ “Sádek”, Olomouc District (CZ). It consists of 2 bronze axes, 3 bronze cheek-pieces of a horse’s bit, 2 bronze phalerae, decorated bronze belt sheet, 6 fragments of 3 different plano-convex ingots and a ceramic vessel. The paper deals with the chronological-typological evaluation of the hoard and especially the motivations for its deposition in connection with supra-regional long-distance roads. Authors discuss the model of social organization of the landscape in the Low Jeseník Mountains area and selected adjacent regions.

The transition between the late Hallstatt period and the early la Tène period represents a notable phase of the moravian prehistory. It is associated with the concept of the so-called 'first celtic expansion' as promoted by miloš Čižmář. The current sources on the 5 th c. Bc confirm the discontinuity of development in HD3 and lTA; and the expansion concept was recently confirmed by Petra Goláňová. Adding to the topic, martin Golec and Zuzana mírová have brought up the yet ignored aspect of central site with the continuity of elites during HD1 -D3 at Habrůvka -'Býčí skála'. The social system during the late Hallstatt period in moravia can be defined as largely centralised, which conforms to P. Goláňová's theory on lTA. The Provodov -'rysov' hillfort provides ample evidence in the form of finds dating to HD1 -lTA and is discussed within the framework of this topic.
