An amulet recently discovered on the Danish island of Lolland provided archaeologists with proof which pjbects did indeed represnt hammers.
I believe the right sentence is to add apposition "that"
An amulet recently discovered on the Danish island of Lolland provided archaeologists with proof (that) which pjbects did indeed represnt hammers.
In this case, apposition "that" is omitted but is this possible especially when there is an interrogative adjective "which"?

We need more information, please. Neither sentence makes clear sense. Has the amulet find proved that SOME objects represent hammers? Hard to see how an amulet would represent a hammer. I am tempted to delete “which” and substitute “that” But even that I do not fully grasp.
