The article presents archaeological discoveries in Sianów, Koszalin District. In the years 2015–2017 the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences conducted rescue archaeological research on the Site 1 in Sianów (AZP 13-22/17), Sianów Commune. The site is located 500 m north-west of the Sianów village and occupies the southern and south-eastern slope of the hill (Golec Hill; 26.60 m above sea level), about 200 m from its culmination (Fig. 1, 2). Based on the discovered artefacts, two settlement phases, falling into the Bronze Age/the early Iron Age and the Middle Ages, as well as three short-term settlement episodes associated with the economic exploitation of the site, which took place in the Mesolithic, the Neolithic and at the turn of the Eras, and the phase of economic exploitation in the Early Modern and the Late Modern periods, can be distinguished on the excavated part of the site. 19 features are connected with the medieval settlement (Fig. 3–6; Tables 1, 2), including 6 domestic pits (A92, A249, A273, A276, A278, B58), 5 extraction pits in the type of clay pits (A280, A280a, A280b, A280c, A280d), 7 fires/hearths (A88, A236, A237, A238, A275, B54, B55) and 1 functionally unspecified feature (A178). The set of early medieval pottery, consisting of 1154 fragments of vessels (Fig. 7–23; Table 3), three iron artefacts: a knife and two nails (Fig. 24: 3–5), as well as two fragments of rotary quern-stones – the half of the lower stone and the half of the upper stone (Fig. 24: 1, 2), were obtained in the course of the exploration of the immovable features and cleaning of the excavation surface.

The most interesting feature discovered in Domasław’s burial ground is the ditched enclosures complex of a funeral character. The oldest complex with a ring trench was dated to the middle Bronze Age (HaA2). This custom reaches its apogee in the Early Iron Age (HaC). A total of 26 chamber graves encircled by trenches, as well as another ditch without a burial probably also from this period, were discovered in the cemetery. At the end of the Early Iron Age, burial practices within the Domasław necropolis did not cease completely. The category of sepulchral features with a younger chronology should also include the rectangular, nearly quadrangular structures which appear in the La Tène period and even at a later phase using this burial ground. The Domasław burials with surrounding trenches have no analogies in the nearest regions. Excavated circular structures make the largest group of funeral ditches to the north of the Carpathian and Sudeten Mountains. The strong impact from the Hallstatt circle probably led to profound transformation in the sphere of beliefs, ideas, and social stratification. The observed changes in burial rites were also recorded in the form of chamber graves which stand out for their construction and furnishing. The appearance of circular ditches at this burial ground might be also treated as an element of southern influences. The custom of surrounding graves with rectangular ditches recorded in enclaves of the La Tène culture in Poland is undoubtedly the effect of the arrival of Celtic people from the south to these areas.

At the Site 426 in Racibórz, relics of the Lusatian and the La Tène settlement were discovered, as well as relics of settlements of the Przeworsk culture from the Roman period and the early Middle Ages. The most interesting findings include remains of the La Tène culture. These are few fragments of pottery vessels and a fragment of a glass bracelet. The paper focuses primarily on the typological, chronological and technological analyses of the glass artefact. The bracelet from Racibórz was made of translucent blue glass and decorated with yellow and white opaque glass. The formal features allow it to be classified to the Row 19 according to the classification by R. Gebhard and to the Group 11b according to the typology by Th.E. Haevernick. The chemical composition of all three glasses was tested using the LA -IC P-MS method. Based on the content of K2O and MgO, the discussed materials can be classified as low magnesium glasses (LM G). Thanks to the discovery of the fragment of the glass bracelet, the settlement episode of the La Tène culture can be dated to LT C1b, possibly to LT C2.
