The archaeological potential of Kromszewickie lake became a subject of interest since the discovery of a dugout boat and two ceramic vessels, one from early-modern times and the other associated with the Lusatian culture. Archaeological prospections in this lake started aft er reporting this discovery to the Province Conservator of Monuments. During regular explorations conducted along the eastern shore of the lake, historical material with a broad chronology from the end of the 12th century till the beginning of the 17th century was found. This material can be divided into two separate archaeological sites. The first one is the aggregation of ceramic artefacts, which probably flowed down from a site located right on the shore of the lake. On the basis of the analysis of the material two phases can be distinguished in this collection. The first phase encompasses late medieval materials. In this phase two horizons can be distinguished. The earlier one dated to the 13th-14th century and the later one dated to the 15th- beginning of the 16th century. The second phase, on the other hand, covers the times from the mid 16th century till the mid 17th century. On the south-east shore of the lake on a flooded cape, the relics of the wooden constructions were discovered. Both oaken piles with 10 -20 cm diameters, as well as much thinner piles made from soft wood, were documented there. Ceramic material from this place can be dated to the 2nd half of the 12th - 13th century. It is not possible to determine the function of the site on the basis of the current state of research. There is one more underwater site with a similar chronology in Długie lake in this area. The function of this site has not been determined as well. On the basis of the analysis of the available data, it can be assumed that there can be more archaeological sites in Kromszewickie lake. Moreover the absence of clear analogies proves the necessity for excavations. Locating both the construction in Kromszewickie lake and the archaeological site in Długie lake in the cultural-economic space of early feudal Kujawy should be a significant issue.
