The Lusowo 62 site was discovered accidentally while conducting construction works on the southeastern outskirts of Lusowo, Tarnowo Podgórne municipality. It occupies a fragment of a promontory which cuts into marshy valleys, drained by small nameless watercourses flowing into nearby Lake Lusowskie. The analysis of sources from the Archaeological Photograph of Poland resource showed that the area of this promontory and its bordering areas is heavily saturated with archaeological sites stretching along the aforementioned watercourses for about 1.5 kilometers, almost to the southeastern edge of the aforementioned Lusowskie Lake. The settlement from the Bronze Age and Late Iron Age dominates here. The newly discovered site was registered as Lusowo 62 (AZP 52-25/184). Rescue excavations carried out over a period of a week revealed 24 objects in the construction trench (mainly pits – including resource pits, a presumed dwelling or outbuilding, hearths and postholes), which were attributed to the settlements from the late Early Bronze Age phase, the population of the Lusatian culture (Bronze Age?), the Przeworsk culture from the late Roman influence period(?) and phase B of the early Middle Ages. Dating of individual objects was based on the ceramics. Particularly noteworthy was a small collection of early Bronze Age ceramic fragments in a post-Unetice style, including a vessel fragment with a distinctive plastic moulding placed on the transition of the neck to the belly, triangular in cross-section, with references to materials from Bruszczewo, site 5, Kościan county. However, the site is dominated by early medieval pottery, strongly resembling wares from the nearby tribal stronghold in Dąbrówka, site 2, Dopiewo municipality. Several forms characteristic of the Early Medieval Phase B were distinguished in the retrieved collection, primarily poorly profiled or bulbous pots. Until the 1990s, archaeological sites located in the southeastern part of Lusowo were relatively safe from the point of view of conservation. Vibrantly expanding housing development in the area in the last 25 years, however, has created a serious threat to the relics of the ancient settlement lying in the ‘archive of the earth’, including the monuments located within the newly discovered Lusowo 62 site, threatening to destroy them completely. The above problem also affects many other areas, especially suburban areas, extremely attractive to potential investors interested in acquiring and developing them. Without systemic solutions at the national level, the problem will grow exponentially to the detriment of all stakeholders, especially the remains of ancient settlement structures hidden underground.
