In 2007–2009, Site 5 in Nieprowice was covered by a detailed inventory conducted by the archaeologists and students from the Institute of Archaeology, University of Warsaw. The works were carried out in the framework of a research project assuming the verification of settlement sites belonging to the La Tène period. Numerous traces from Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Medieval settlements were found. Important discoveries relating to the Pomeranian and La Tène culture, despite the significant progress in the surface surveys of this region, remain relatively rare. The most interesting and the most numerous finds date back to the Roman and Migration period and confirm the existence of the local settlement center, probably inhabited by the elite.

In January 2018, a plate brooch from the Migration Period, found in the village of Rajszew near Warsaw, was presented to the Historical Museum in Legionowo (Fig. 1, 2). It represents Animal Style I (B. Salin 1904, 214–245). Anthropo- and/or zoomorphic imagery on the head enables its attribution to phase B of said style (G. Haseloff 1981, 180–196). Metallurgical analyses showed that the body was cast from a copper alloy. The pin was also made from a copper alloy but containing a different share of this chemical element (Table 1). It is currently not possible to indicate an unambiguous analogy to the artefact presented. A bronze brooch discovered in grave A9 at the site of Malaâ Lipovka, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia (Fig. 4:1), dated to the first half of the 6th century (M. Rudnicki, K. Skvortsov, P. Szymański 2015, 592), seems the most similar. The shape of protrusions with representations of animal heads decorating the head and foot of the Rajszew brooch is the most similar to corresponding elements of a brooch found in Stora Gairvide on Gotland (Fig. 4:2), dated to the first half of the 6th century (M. Rudnicki 2014a, 285). The brooch has a rectangular head with relief decoration and four protrusions. Other specimens with similarly decorated rectangular heads and foot terminals come from Tałty, Mrągowo County, a stray find (Fig. 4:3), Tumiany, Olsztyn County, grave 37 (Fig. 4:4), and Babięta, Mrągowo County, grave 109 (M. Rudnicki 2014a, 283–287). These analogies do not allow us to indicate whether the Rajszew brooch was an import from the area of the Olsztyn Group or from Scandinavia. Head decoration in the form of stylised protrusions appears in both of these regions. However, the brooches differ in proportions and size – Masurian specimens are smaller. Such is also the case with the analysed example.

The site 2 in Marchocice in Little Poland has been already known to archaeologists for more than one hundred years. Recent application of different approaches and research tools helped acquire a new, startling picture confirming the unique cognitive potential of this spectacular areal of ancient to activities. The initial impulse to study presented site by field-walking and the successive non-destructive surveys were the promising results of archive aerial and satellite images analysis. This paper presents the results of large-scale spatial approach with the use of magnetic gradiometry as the fastest and the most cost effective geophysical technique capable of detecting a wide variety of anthropogenic transformations. The Marchocice research project can be an example of how in a relatively short time important data which has the potential to be a firm basis or starting point for further, detailed studies may be acquired and mutualy complemented

In this article, the basic information on the research on the economy of the La Tène culture communities living in the southern part of Poland in the early and middle La Tène period is presented. The analysis of natural data shows that the local economy of the Celtic settlers from Silesia and Lesser Poland did not differ in quality from that of their countrymen from the area south of the Carpathians and the Sudetes. Agriculture was based on the cultivation of cereals, among which different varieties of wheat dominated with a relatively small share of barley and common millet. Contrary to earlier opinions, rye and oat cultivation was not widespread. In typical rural settlements, cattle farming was by far the dominant activity. Breeding swine and small ruminants were in the second position, but the proportion between these species varied from region to region. The very small proportion of wild animal bones known from the surveyed settlements indicates an advanced process of deforestation of the inhabited area and well-developed domestic animal husbandry.
