During the excavations carried out in 2007-2008 dwelling part of the site at Pakoszówka was investigated, in the zone bordering on area where the field works in 2003-2004 were conducted. Especially worth noticing are observations concerning stratigraphical relations between some features within the investigated part of the site. They remain in accordance with the relative chronology of pottery discovered within fills of the features. Oldest one are two large storage pits, dated back to the beginning of the Early Roman Period. They are cut partially by relics of an earthfast house, which yielded pottery from the end of the Early Roman Period. The youngest stage of this stratigraphical sequence is represented by the pit, which is dated to Younger Roman Period. Within the fill of the last mentioned feature besides the hand-made pottery also some fragments of wheel-made pottery as well as piece of silver mirror were found. All discovered in 2007-2008 artifacts represent Przeworsk culture, however with some traces of other cultural traditions.
In 2004, an expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University conducted the trial researches at cremation cemetery at Prusiek, and then in the years 2005 to 2006 regular rescue excavations. There were discovered 41 objects, including 35 graves and six small pits, presumably post-holes. A majority of burials were urn graves but ash graves have also been recorded. Burials are generally characterized by a relatively wide range of equipment, including weapons, i.a. swords imported from the Roman Empire. Preliminary analysis of inventories acquired so far indicates that the Prusiek necropolis should be dates back to the turn of the Early and Younger Roman Period, another words to the decline of the B2 phase and the phase C1a (with a distinctive within it the B2/C1 horizon). Materials from the cemetery at Prusiek show clear links with the so-called eastern zone of the Przeworsk Culture.
