Site AZP (‘Archeologiczne Zdjęcie Polski - Archaeological Record of Poland’) 60-67/29 is situated c. 20 km to the south of the centre of Warsaw. It was localised in the edge part of the heights of the valley of the River Jeziorka. The culmination of the terrain is c. 6 m above the flood level of the valley. The site begins in the middle of a quite steep slope and extends to c. 200 m up the heights. It was discovered in the course of field survey in 1988 by S. Woyda from the Museum of Ancient Masovian Metallurgy in Pruszków. From 26 June to 27 July 2010 open-area rescue examinations were carried out there. They were related to a planned building development of the road network. A surface of almost 110 ares in total was examined in the discussed area. 143 features from various settlement phases and almost 6000 finds were recorded. Based on their functions, the following features were identified: residential features, household and pro- duction pits (smelting furnaces, a lime kiln), post-holes which possibly were remains of residential buildings, and cremation graves. Initial analysis of finds from the features and those found in the humus and in the cultural layer al- lowed for an identification of individual phases of settle- ment of this area in the prehistoric and the early medieval periods. The earliest phase is represented by flint finds from the end of the Palaeolithic and the Mesolithic, i.e., the 10th-6th millennium BC. Chronologically later finds may be related to: the Lusatian Culture (Ha C/D), the Cloche Grave Culture (Ha D), the Przeworsk Culture (A2-A3/B1) and the Early Polish Culture (10th-11th c.)
