This region played one of the key roles in system of communications of Sambian-Natangian culture. The attention is focused on formerly Käpphen bei Preußisch Arnau graveyard, situated at the north-east outskirt of Rodniki township. Also, information about other archaeological sites dated to first millennium A. D. is systematized.
