The site is situated on the northern bank of the river Bug, about 400 m west from the Polish-Belorussian border. It is partly destroyed by a sandpit (Fig. 1). During the rescue excavations in 1984 and 1985 ten cremation graves (eight pit graves and two urn graves) and more then twenty undetermined pits were found here. Some of these pits, with big amount of charcoal located by the graves 4 and 11 (Fig. 4, 5) without any traces of relics of a pyre, could be linked with a cemetery. Grave 4 has a form atypical for the Przeworsk Culture – the urn was placed on the bottom of a shallow pit plastered with stones (Fig. 3). The Niemirów cemetery was used in phases B2b–B2/C1. The oldest find is a brooch similar to the type A.78 found in the grave 8 (Fig. 3). The strongly profiled brooches of the Mazovian variant typical for the eastern zone of the Przeworsk Culture, dated to the phase B2b–B2/C1a came from graves 4 and 5 (Fig. 3). Grave 9 with a brooch of type A.96 is dated to phase B2/C1. An ornamented lancepoint from destroyed grave 1 (Fig. 2) and a set of weapons from grave 5a, dug into grave 5, probably came from the same time. A chronological analysis indicats that the cemetery in Niemirów belongs to the group of small, shortlasting cemeteries, grounded in the end of the phase B2 on the north-eastern peripheries of the Przeworsk Culture territory. They are linked with an inner migration, maybe evoked by the expansion of the Wielbark Culture.
