Thanks to the diligent efforts of archaeologists in the past several years, a thorough examination of the early medieval settlement complex in Łozina near Wrocław has been successfully conducted. This complex comprises a stronghold and surrounding villages. In this article, we present an analysis of pottery from one of the sites located within the aforementioned locality. However, this analysis does not constitute the primary objective of the study. It serves as a starting point for reflections on the mechanisms and course of settlement transformations in the northern and central parts of Lower Silesia in the 10th and 11th centuries. The presence of culturally foreign elements in the later Łozina area has led to the hypothesis of population movements from the basin of the Barycz River. Subsequent waves of migrants from the Łozina region headed southward, and then along the Oder River, both eastward and possibly westward. The migration route was marked by the presence of small ring forts and pottery adorned with zone ornamentation.
