The article concerns a problem of occurence of windthrow structures on archaeological sites. This specific objects, caused by falling trees, are sometimes misinterpreted as features of anthropogenic character. An attempt of reconstruction of generating the micro-depressions and their filling was proposed. It is, in general, convergent to the one presented by soil scientists (e.g. R. Langohr). However, in author's opinion, such objects should not lose their importance as archaeological sources, since they may reflect history of the sites. Greater amount of simultaneous windthrow structures might also be an indicator of the climate destabilisation in certain periods.

(Title in German - 'Ergebnisse der Forschungen auf der grossen Nekropole in Pikule, Gemeinde Janów Lubelski - Beitrag zu den Studien uber die jungere vorromische Eisenzeit in Polen'). The author of the article described results of the archaeological rescue excavations conducted on the crematory cemetery from the younger pre-Roman Iron Age in Pikule, Janów Lubelski commune, Lublin province. It was discovered in 1990 and excavated during two seasons in 1991 and 1992. He informs us also about the history of the amateur discoveries of many pieces of the weapons and the implements (with farming tools as well) vulnerable from the scientific and exhibit reasons. These amateur 'excavations' have been transformed after a time into a mass robbery activity of the militaria-searcher. The main part of this work concerns problems connected with the interpretation of the archaeological structures recognized by the author as remains of the crematory cemetery graves.This theory was partially supported during successive excavation works in 1996-2000. That fully scientific interpretation is calling into question by some archaeologists looking at this space as for the offering place. So the crematory cemetery or the offering place? The answer a question the author is trying in further part of the work. The different problem is to find possible relation between the Pikule archaeological site and the Poienesti-Lukasevka culture cemeteries in the Moldavia, representative of this taxonomic unit.
