Polish Roman-era village excavated

Archaeologists working in the Carpathian Mountains in Poland are excavating a village which dates back to the 3rd-4th centuries A.D.

Village from the Roman period, dating from 3rd-4th century AD, has been discovered in Lipnica Dolna near Jas?o (Subcarpathia). Among approx. one thousand archaeological objects there is a large pottery kiln, in which ceramics were fired.

“The kiln is two meters in length and the same in width. It stands on a small tip in the Wis?oka valley. Its location shows that the wind blowing from the river was used to maintain the temperature during the firing cycle” – said Tomasz Leszczy?ski, archaeologist from the Subcarpathian Museum in Krosno.
