Two interesting finds originating from random discoveries at Kamieńczyk on the Bug River recently entered the collections of the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw. One of them is a bronze winged pin (Flügelnadel) retaining a fragment of its iron shaft, a form distinctive for Jastorf Culture, dated to the early phase of the Late PreRoman Period. In the classification of H. Schubart (1957) this piece represents a classic form, defined as Ostmecklenburgisch-vorpommerscher Typ (op. cit., p. 87, 92–93). Objects associated with Jastorf Culture discovered in Przeworsk Culture area may be connected to the passage of the Sciri and Bastarni in the 3rd and 2nd c. BC through the area on their way to the Black Sea (T. Dąbrowska 1988b, p. 75). The other find from Kamieńczyk is a bronze brooch, a local form produced on the lower Bug and Narew Rivers. The brooch belongs to Almgren type 38–39, variant ‘a’ acc. to M. Olędzki (1992; 1998). Dating of this variant is confined in general to a part of subphase B2a and entire or part of subphase B2b (op. cit., p. 56).

A cemetery at Żdżarów, district Sochaczew, woj. mazowieckie, was discovered by chance in 1982. Great part of the cemetery was destroyed by sand extraction. 211 cremation graves of the Przeworsk Culture (1–201), dated to the Roman Period and early phase of the Migration Period, and 19 other prehistoric pits (I–XIX) were discovered at the undamaged part of the site. The oldest graves are dated to the phase B2, maybe the younger stage. They are dated with brooches of type 5 of trumpet shaped brooches, brooch of 7th series of the Almgren V group and typical pottery. These graves are dispersed in the cemetery, only graves 64A, 64B and 64C created a small concentration. Only a few graves originate from the phase B2/C1. They are dated by the brooches of type A.41b (grave 197), A.129 (grave 144), A.132/137 (grave 122), type 2b of the Masovian variant of the Almgren group IV (grave 158), 8th series of the Almgren group V (grave 61), and type A.193 (grave 151). Graves 41 and 125, furnished with the terra sigillata pottery (Samian ware), may also be connected with this phase. A number of the Late Roman period graves, furnished with wheel-made pottery, is striking. Pieces of such pottery were found in 54 assemblages. These graves occupies clear zone on the peripheries of the cemetery; they are not so numerous in the centre. More precise dating of most of the late Roman period graves is impossible because of the poor furnishing. The A.158 type brooch dates grave 40 to the phase C1. Brooches of the A.162 type coming from the graves 106, 107, 147, 175, 195 and a brooch type A.211 from the grave 123 indicates the phase C2. From this phase also originated graves 103, 138, 195 furnished with fragments of terra sigillata vessels, and, among stray finds, pieces of the silver brooch of type Zakrzów type, and bronze fibula of so-called Raupenfibel type. A sudden collapse (decrease of the number of graves) is seen in the latest period of use of the cemetery (phase C3–D). The graves concentrate on the western and eastern edge of the explored part of the necropolis. Most of them are dated by fragments of glass vessels originated from the 4th century, coming from the Black Sea (grave 10?, 186) and Rhineland workshops (grave 165A). Grave 173 – a warrior’s grave – with a complete set of weapons especially draws attention.

Partial investigation (800 m2) of a cemetery of the Przeworsk culture at Bielawy-Łuby, distr. Łowicz, woj. mazowieckie, discovered by accident in 1938, yielded 42 cremation graves. Of these only 19 could be determined as to type, basing on the at present incomplete documentation. Three deposits were urned, the rest were pit graves. A number of graves dating from the Roman Period produced stones of diverse size; one of them was probably a grave-stone. Chronologically, the investigated part of the cemetery spans the Late PreRoman and the Roman Period (19 and 13 features respectively). The oldest funerary deposits date from phase A2 while the youngest graves contained sherds from turned pottery, indicating that the site continued in use during Late Roman period phase C1b. Graves associated with phases A3, B1 and B2 suggest that the burial ground was being used throughout this period. Grave goods include two iron geschweifte brooches as well as a silver-inlaid fibula Almgren series 8th, group V. Weapons are represented by a shield-boss Bohnsack type 4, three spearheads, (one of them with blade with cut notches) and lance-shoe. Tools included a knife and a number of fired clay spindlewhorls. Among typical Przeworsk culture pottery there were two heavily eroded Samian ware fragments. The cemetery at Bielawy-Łuby is one of many sites forming a large settlement concentration recorded in the basin of the Bzura River dated to the Late PreRoman and the Roman Period. The presence of stones – imaginably the remains of above-ground structures – suggests links with the Wielbark culture sphere.
