On the maps illustrating the situation during Roman and Pre-Roman Iron Age the lower Orzyc region (located about 70 km north of Warsaw) was until recent considered as an empty area. Excavations and a series of accidental discoveries in the past 20 years revealed in this area the existence of at least 9 settlements and cemeteries located in close neighbourhood. Among many research problems related to this concentration of settlements, one of the most interesting is the question of the disappearance of the Przeworsk culture representatives and the appearance of the first settlers of the Wielbark culture at the turn of the early and Late Roman Iron Age. The last ones arrived probably from the area of today's northern Greater Poland. For some time, the populations of both cultures probably lived together in the Lower Orzyc region. This can be said due to the dating of related materials and graves with elements characteristic for both cultures.
