Abstracts

EN

Geophysical and aerial survey of a number of Early Iron Age sites in central Poland has produced information on the internal organisation of these sites that contributes to that the type of spatial organisation present there was significantly different from that at Biskupin, Izdebno and Smuszewo. Samples for dendro dating were also obtained which suggest that the main period of use of Sobiejuchy was a little earlier than that of Biskupin. A single date was also obtained on a post from Ostrowite Trzemeszenskie. Together these contribute to the question of the start date of Hallstatt C in Central Europe, the period to which the material culture of these sites mainly belongs.
