In Grave 95 of the burial ground at Holubice an amulet was found at the left shank of the buried individual, where a rock crystal pendant was replaced by another valuable object – a 1st/2nd century Roman rock crystal ring. Rings of this type are known almost exclusively from Rhineland and Gaul. The specimen from Holubice represents an "eastern outlier" which, moreover, was found beyond the frontiers of the Roman Empire. The possibility that its last female owner has found it by chance thus can be ruled out. The ring most probably reached the Lombard territory by means of trade or exchange of gifts. This distribution pattern of valuable antiquities was evidently widely used in the early medieval period but it implies systematic collection of accidentally discovered as well as intentionally unearthed finds.
The brooch dated to the Late Migration Period found in the cadastre of the flooded Mušov village, at the “Na pískách” site, is a square-headed bow brooch with knob decoration, a type that is rather unique in Moravia and Austria north of the Danube. Its shape and decoration resembles the Herbrechtingen type, which is found mainly in Schwarzwald in south Germany. On the territory of the Czech Republic, its occurrence is mostly linked with the presence of the Lombard tribes and dated to the second third of the 6th century.
The authors deal with the development of the settlement of the Malá Haná region on the border of historical Moravia during the Late Roman Period (stages C3–D1) and during the Migration Period. After the intense settling of settlements by the Suebi with the Roman-provincial, Przeworsk culture and Chernyakhov culture contacts, which culminate in stage D1, there are strong ties to South Moravia and the Central Danube region at Malá Haná in stages D2 and D3, or alternatively to the Danube-East Germanic cultural group from the 5th century (finds of fibulas, buckles, ironwork in the style of Untersiebenbrunn, probably a Hun sax, skeletal grave from Knínice). Through Malá Haná we can assume the movement of the Lombards on their way from Bohemia to South Moravia, as evidenced by the unique finds of parts of the belt garnitures from Jevíčko and probably also by unique finds of swords (spathae) from two other sites.
