Discovered in a settlement context during archaeological fieldwork made in 2009/2010 in advance of motorway construction at Zamiechów, site 1 (woj. podkarpackie) in the carpathian foothills region grave 345 was a double burial of an adult and child with a fairly rich inventory dated to roman Period phase B2/C1. The article reports on the results of analysis of the grave form, its construction, grave goods and on the input from specialist human and animal bone analysis and metallography studies. Some elements of the inventory of grave no. 345, not the least the peculiar features of the burial rite, are highly unusual in the Przeworsk culture environment and attributable, to some extent, to the wielbark culture environment. grave no. 345 discovered at Zamiechów may be associated with the “eastern Zone” of the Przeworsk culture and with the interaction and trade exchange associated with the operation of an amber workshop in the settlement at Zamiechów.
