During exploration of excavation units established till 2004 more than 200 archaeological features were discovered of different chronology. These features very often overlapped one another and formed complex stratigraphic systems. They are related the La Tène and Roman Period and belong to four settlements that are the subject of detailed studies conducted by the authors.
In the seasons 2003 and 2004 rescue excavations at site no. 3 in Lipnik were carried out. Several features related to multiphase settlement from the Iron Age were revealed. The oldest discovered features are possibly associated with late-stage of the Tarnobrzeg Group. The next phase of the occupation represent remains of two semi-dugouts, which can be dated at the late La Tène Period. These features are the first traces of permanent presence of La Tène Culture communities in the loess plateau of Rzeszów Foothills. Most of the discovered structures can be tied with a large settlement from the Younger and the Late Roman Period. These are remains of both residential and economic structures. Of particular interest is the deep storage pit containing remains of two children, and deposited above burned remains of a man. Similar objects (interpreted as a form of graves) are known from Dacian cultural complex in the Carpathian Basin. Southern relationships are also confirmed by part of the artefacts discovered during research (e.g. the wheel-made amphora).
