The author engages in polemics against the presently most common belief that the Polish territories - abandoned in the 4th/5th century A.D. by the German peoples who had lived there before - were settled by the Slavs only later. He discusses the current state of studies on the issue of cultural and settlement continuity and discontinuity in the period of the so-called migration of nations. Further on, arguing with the opinion of M. Parczewski, that there are generally no materials in favour of the cultural and settlement continuity in Polish territories at that time, he presents more recent investigations in the area of linguistics and anthropology, focusing especially on the demographic aspects as well as new archaeological material, supporting the autochthonous character of the Slavs in the territories of the Oder and Vistula river basins. Referring to various, recently discovered cultural elements - indicating that the culture of the Roman period continued in the early Middle Ages - the author discusses in more detail the question of the so-called pseudo-mediaeval ceramics, defined by the author as late antique appearing in many archaeological sites in Silesia, in central Poland and in Malopolska (Little Poland), and most recently found in the settlements from the decline of antiquity in Wielkopolska (Great Poland), enabling scholars, in his opinion, to establish the origin of those settlements for the 5th-6th century A.D., which basically changes the hitherto followed notion of cultural continuity and discontinuity in the territories of Poland.(Original paper published with the German summary)

The article presents a discovery of the first grooved burial, rectangular in section, from the Great Poland. It is an urn burial with multiple interments; two urns with remains of three individuals are associated with a groove. Four clusters of cremated bones composed of remains of five individuals were placed directly above. Depending upon chosen interpretation, it was a burial of three or eight individuals. The burial has been dated back to the second half of the 5th century AD. It is a manifestation of transformations in the domain of burial rites in the last phase of the Przeworsk culture. They resulted in increasingly atypical and archaeologically indefinable forms of the burial rite. The burial was placed in the west edge of the settlement composed of hall houses made of a post construction, which was founded in the years 340-352 AD. A well cemetery with cremation burials was also discovered at this site. This was a settlement complex composed of a large settlement and at least two cremation cemeteries. It is the first complex of this type in the Przeworsk culture.
