A cremation grave of the Roman period was found in a stone quarry at Steborice near Opava before the year 1900. The grave equipment consisted of a wheel-made urn, a two-edged sword, a pair of ornamented spurs with asymmetric arms, a spearhead with octagonal socket, a scissors, a knife, a handle of probably wooden bucket and an iron mount with two rivets (most likely a shield boss fragment). The grave corresponds to above-standard equipped warrior graves of the Przeworsk culture and can be dated to the C1b stage of the Late Roman Age, to the first half of the 3rd century in absolute dating. Regarding its chronology, it is younger than the cremation burial ground at Vavrovice nearby that was used in the very beginning of the Late Bronze Age (B2/C1 and C1a). The both sites with cremation burials are clearly proving the Opava seat region being a part of the Przeworsk culture territory, of which the occurrence of rather numerous graves containing weapons in the period after the Marcomannic Wars and in the first half of the 3rd century is typical.
