In November 2020, an early medieval spearhead was donated to the Museum in Piotrków Trybunalski by an inhabitant of the village of Lubień, Piotrków Trybunalski County. The artefact was discovered on a forest trackway (Fig. 1), 900 m to the north-east from the center of the early medieval cemetery at Lubień. The relic was located close to the ground surface. Its localization in this place is probably connected with earthworks from 1970, during which the central part of the Lubień necropolis was discovered and partially destroyed (Fig. 2). Approximately 35% of the cemetery area was destroyed, which, according to a spatial-chronological analysis, is connected with the initial phase of the whole burial complex (1st quarter of the 11th century). The iron spearhead has a lanceolate leaf, flat-oblong in cross section; it preserved in poor condition (Fig. 3). The rib is slightly marked and only visible on one side of the leaf, which may be due to corrosion, as is the case with the edge loss. The hexagonal spearhead sleeve, although not a clearly defined attribute uniformly tapers upward and was joined “overlapping”. Its edge is partially destroyed. No rivet holes were registered. The discussed spearhead represents type IV in the classification by A. Nadolski (1954). This type includes medium-sized specimens (not exceeding 30 cm in length, often shorter than 20 cm), spiny, with a relatively long sleeve. The lower edges of the heart-shaped leaf are blunted on a short section. The spearheads of this type were probably used in combat against an opponent without body armour They showed little penetrating power, compensated by a considerable striking surface. In the identification of type IV spearheads the ratio of the maximum width of the leaf to its length can be used, which should not be greater than 1:2. Type IV spearheads are infrequently in Poland (30 pcs.). Specimens of this form are known mainly from cemeteries, mainly used in the 11th century, possibly even from the beginning of the 12th century. They are concentrated mainly in Masovia, especially in its northern part (Fig. 4). A small group forms four specimens from Greater Poland, while in the remaining area there are only single finds (Kuyavia, central Poland, Lesser Poland). Type IV spearheads are also sporadically found outside of Poland. There are examples from the 11th century (less frequently also from the 11th–12th century) from medieval Ruthenia and the eastern part of the Baltic Sea Basin. They were slightly more numerous in northern Germany, especially in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein. Assuming that the spearhead came from one of the graves destroyed in 1970, we can talk about another step towards the recovery of materials lost at that time. This gives hope for further discoveries, which will be possible thanks to the planned prospecting of the cemetery area.
