The ‘Celtic episode’ of the prehistoric Sanok region should be associated with a group of colonists from the south who, during phase LT C, used the local brine springs to produce salt and supply it to the population of the Upper Tisa River basin. For now, no finds definitely associated with phases LT B or LT D have been discovered in the region. The settlers probably relied on both agriculture and animal husbandry to sustain their communities. It seems unlikely they were able to produce any food surpluses, considering the unfavourable climate and poor soil conditions. When the expansion of Dacian tribes to the south of the Carpathians began to cause shifts in the political landscape and the trade routes’ network, the San River Valley cultural centre lost its economic significance and entered a period of decline. Presumably, some of the population may have migrated north into the more fertile lands, while others might have returned to the areas of their origin. According to the available data, there seems to be no clear continuity between the La Tène occupation and the oldest Przeworsk culture finds dated to the end of the early pre-Roman period.

The results of excavations on site 1 at Kurzątkowice, Oława dicstrict, make a very essential contribution to the studies on La Tène culture settlements on the area of modern Poland. Unearthed at the above mentioned site were relics of a small La Tène culture settlement in form of settlement features typical for that time, such as a shallow pit-house, pits of various purpose, clay-pit or pottery kiln. The material, found inside of these features, consisting almost exclusively of vessel pottery, indicates that the features may be dated to the early La Tène period. The importance of these discoveries is emphasised by the fact that the above mentioned features at Kurzątkowice are up till now the only known settlement features of La Tène culture on modern Polish lands which may be dated to phase LT B1-B2. Many attributes of the pottery workshop registered at Kurzątkowice indicate that the Celtic settlers from Lower Silesia were closely related to the lands of central Danube river basin, particularly to the area of Moravia.

The economy of any community depends on the values which are considered to be the most important. Social organization and technologies are subordinated to their implementation. In traditional societies, including people of the La Tène culture, the most significant issues concerned the status of individuals and the resulting interpersonal relations. The position in rank was manifested and gained through participation in military expeditions. The economy was subordinated to military action. Nonetheless, new technologies and financial solutions created opportunities for military success. This, however, has its price in enormous social inequalities and almost permanent war.

In this article, the basic information on the research on the economy of the La Tène culture communities living in the southern part of Poland in the early and middle La Tène period is presented. The analysis of natural data shows that the local economy of the Celtic settlers from Silesia and Lesser Poland did not differ in quality from that of their countrymen from the area south of the Carpathians and the Sudetes. Agriculture was based on the cultivation of cereals, among which different varieties of wheat dominated with a relatively small share of barley and common millet. Contrary to earlier opinions, rye and oat cultivation was not widespread. In typical rural settlements, cattle farming was by far the dominant activity. Breeding swine and small ruminants were in the second position, but the proportion between these species varied from region to region. The very small proportion of wild animal bones known from the surveyed settlements indicates an advanced process of deforestation of the inhabited area and well-developed domestic animal husbandry.

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.

Celem niniejszej pracy jest omówienie wybranych zabytków archeologicznych stanowiących ozdoby i elementy stroju kobiecego z terenów Polski w I w. p.n.e., które stylistycznie nawiązują do zabytków kultury lateńskiej. Rozpatrywane ozdoby i elementy stroju pochodzą z grobów kobiecych odnotowanych na stanowiskach kultur przeworskiej i oksywskiej. W niniejszej pracy podjęta została próba interpretacji analizowanych zabytków oraz zobrazowano kontekst ich występowania. Rozważania zawarte w artykule są przyczynkiem do badań nad znaczeniem złożonych oddziaływań kultury lateńskiej na ziemiach polskich w młodszym okresie przedrzymskim.

The aim of the article is to present and discuss the La Tène culture influences on the women’s dress accessories and jewellery in the 1st. century BC in Poland. The presented women’s dress accessories and jewelry comes from the women’s graves of the Przeworsk - and Oksywie culures. In the synthesis it will be possible to make some interpretations about significance of selected archaeological materials, especially in the context of local cultures. The outcome of the research will shed light on the so called latinisation of the Polish territories.
