Abstract: In West Pomerania during the 13th century a series of settlement transformations took place. They left their traces in the appearance, social and economic relations of individual centres and of the whole region. One of many villages of medieval origins in West Pomerania, formed during the mass colonization action was Będargowo, a small oval square village located approximately 8 km to the south-west of Szczecin. The layers and artefacts (pottery, window panes fragments, bits of brick and scorched clay, animal bones and an arrowhead) discovered there during excavations in 2012, associated with the medieval settlement, should be dated to the period from the mid-13th to the 16th century. In the light of written sources the village all this time was related to the patrician family Wussow, who played a considerable role in the formation of the German municipality in Szczecin. Presented finds are a valuable source for reflection on all historical and archaeological issues of medieval Pomeranian village.
