The author engages in polemics against the presently most common belief that the Polish territories - abandoned in the 4th/5th century A.D. by the German peoples who had lived there before - were settled by the Slavs only later. He discusses the current state of studies on the issue of cultural and settlement continuity and discontinuity in the period of the so-called migration of nations. Further on, arguing with the opinion of M. Parczewski, that there are generally no materials in favour of the cultural and settlement continuity in Polish territories at that time, he presents more recent investigations in the area of linguistics and anthropology, focusing especially on the demographic aspects as well as new archaeological material, supporting the autochthonous character of the Slavs in the territories of the Oder and Vistula river basins. Referring to various, recently discovered cultural elements - indicating that the culture of the Roman period continued in the early Middle Ages - the author discusses in more detail the question of the so-called pseudo-mediaeval ceramics, defined by the author as late antique appearing in many archaeological sites in Silesia, in central Poland and in Malopolska (Little Poland), and most recently found in the settlements from the decline of antiquity in Wielkopolska (Great Poland), enabling scholars, in his opinion, to establish the origin of those settlements for the 5th-6th century A.D., which basically changes the hitherto followed notion of cultural continuity and discontinuity in the territories of Poland.(Original paper published with the German summary)
