The hand-copied set of lute tablatures from the Cistercian Abbey in Krzeszów (Grüssau), originating from the first half of the 18th century, provides indications of a rich and varied musical life of Silesia at the time. It contained at least eleven books, now dispersed between the National Library in Warsaw, University of Warsaw Library and Wroclaw University Library, with over 1500 compositions of various kinds: dances, German and Latin religious chants, mostly for solo lute, sometimes accompanied by other instruments or adapted for two lutes. Among them, those composed by two musicians from the German-speaking area stand out. The first is Georg Philipp Telemann, who worked in Silesian Zary (Sorau) in 1704-1709, and whose identity is disguised by the anagram 'Melante'. The second is Silvius Leopold Weiss. For the most part however this repertory needs to be identified by complex comparative research. This method is used to investigate compositions of Bohemian lutenist Johann Anton Losy and their concordances.

In the Polish Carpathians, which rise much higher than the Sudety, hillforts dated back to the early Middle Ages tend to be located at higher altitudes than their counterparts from the other mountain range. The hillfort settlements of Malopolska mark the southern boundary of the old tribal territory of Vislane. Similarly, in the other region, the hillforts from the 8th-10th century can be found along the southern border of the tribal territory of the Silesians and Lusatians. Whereas a typical tribal hillfort in Malopolska occupies an area in excess of one hectar, the Sudety hillforts are relatively smaller (ie. less that one hectar). In Great Moravia's sphere of influence the dominant form of currency (apart from coins) was the axe-like iron bar. While iron currency bars were produced in Moravia, Slovakia and Malopolska, their circulation seems to have been limited to the first two regions. The manufacture of other iron currency items was of only marginal importance. So for instance, the fact that iron bowls and arrowheads imported from Silesia do not appear as homogeneous deposits in Moravian or West Slovakian hoards suggests that these currency 'units' were not adopted by the Danubian markets.
