The article reports on the results from the excavation of the early medieval suburb settlement at Koźlice (season 2007) organized by the Polish Society EUROOPERA in Zgorzelec (co-financed from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage Operational Programme “Dziedzictwo”) and reviews the results from the excavation season 2006 (published in Polish in Śląskie Sprawozdania Archeologiczne / Silesian Archaeological Reports vol. 50) and excavation season 2007. In 2007 two new trenches were excavated: no. IIIa/07, immediately to the north and east of trench III/06, and sondage trench VI/07, on the margin of the terrace occupied by the suburb settlement. In both areas the topsoil (meadow humus) rested over two deposits corresponding to two phases of the early medieval occupation. The older deposit consisted of several slender layers and a storage(?) pit filled with the same, identified in trenches III/06-IIIa/07. The much thicker younger deposit yielded a significant volume of small finds as well as organic matter which in places intruded on the older anthropogenic level. Small finds from seasons 2006 and 2007 consisted mostly of early medieval pottery, similar to the ceramics discovered inside the stronghold (site 1), datable to the tenth century. A more notable find from the suburb settlement are fragments of at least two roasting dishes made of fired clay. The area excavated so far is too small and the diagnostic value of the small finds too poor to correlate more closely the occupation phases identified in the area of the suburb settlement with the two phases of the stronghold ramparts and two phases of occupation inside the stronghold.
