Z problematyki wczesnych faz kultury przeworskiej na obszarze górnej Warty
The issues of early stages of the Przeworsk culture in the area of the upper Warta River basin

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the problems of the Przeworsk culture from the younger pre-Roman period in the southern part of central Poland. It is based mainly on the results of archaeological excavations of burial grounds in Charłupia Mała, Siemiechów, Strobin, Konopnica, Niechmirów-Mała Wieś, on which materials from the early settlement phases of this cultural formation were found. They are determined by dress elements, especially fibulae of the middle-La Tène construction (varieties C, D/E, H after Kostrzewski) and the late-La Tène construction (varieties K, M, N, O), various categories of militaria (single-edged swords, shield bosses, shaft weapons’ heads) and imports from the Celtic (La Tène) zone, e.g. east-Celtic Novo mesto type helmet, two-edged swords with scabbards (e.g. types III, V after Bochnak) as well as knives with hilts ended with rings. As a result of this research, the appearance of the Przeworsk culture in the area in question should be expected already at the end of the A1 phase, however, its full development occurs only in the A2 phase and continues in the A3 phase of the younger pre-Roman period.
