Site 1 at Wiatowice is situated on a plane at the top of one of the hills forming the Wieliczka Upland (Fig. 1). The archaeological salvage work conducted in 2005 were concentrated on a plot of arable land which apparently covered the remains of some leveled-off mounds. Three test units covering jointly an area of 2.5 ars (Test Unit 1 - 10×10 m, Test Unit 2 - 10×10 m, Test Unit 3 - 5×10 m). In the course of the excavations five objects were recovered. Only one of them could be successfully dated (Lausatian culture). The site of objects 3-5 contained no archaeologically significant material; object 2 turned out to be natural. The scanty assemblage collected during the survey should be linked with the Lausatian culture, ie. the 5th period of the Bronze Age, the Prokocim-Skotniki phase of the Krakow subgroup) and the Early Middle Ages. The early medieval pottery could be dated to a period ranging from late 9th until early 11th century. Objects 3-5 seem to be of no interest to archaeology; nor is it possible to date them.
