The large number of finds surprised the scientists. They included bronze and silver ornaments, costume pieces, such as fibulas, pendants, rings, beads, buckles and belt fittings. The largest group of objects, as in the case of most archaeological sites in Poland, were ceramics. Archaeologists discovered numerous vessels in various states of preservation, including many very elaborately ornamented vessels, which, according to Dr. Rudnicki, distinguishes them from the products of the surrounding cultures in this period, both Slavic and Baltic. All items come from the VI-VII century AD.
“We also came across rare items. Among them was a tinder and flint with the remains of the fabric in which they were wrapped, a fragment of a glass vessel, most likely originating from Frankish workshop, knives with preserved parts of wooden handles” – said Dr. Rudnicki, head of the expedition.
