This article discusses a half-finished fibula of Almgren type 41, discovered by accident in 2019 at a multicultural settlement in the village of Čarnaŭčycy (Чарнаўчыцы/Charnawchytsy) in western Belarus. Together with a similar find from a settlement at the village of Radasc' (??д??ць/Radasts'), located in the same region, it attests to the local manufacture of brooches of this type in the area occupied in phase B2/C1-C1a by the people of the Wielbark Culture. An analysis of brooches of Almgren type 41 from the territory of present-day Belarus makes it possible to specify previous findings concerning the expansion routes of the Wielbark Culture.
