Osadnictwo kultury łużyckiej na stanowisku 2 w Zagórzu, gm. Niepołomice, pow. wielicki

Multicultural site 2 in Zagórze, Wieliczka District, Małopolskie Voivodeship (AZP 104-59/2) is situated about 25 km east of Cracow, in the Wieliczka Foothills (Fig. 1). The paper characterizes and interprets archaeological settlement sources of the Lusatian culture. 93 various sunken features and about 8500 fragments of vessels have been unearthed. In stylistic and formal terms, a vast majority of pottery represents the oldest development phase of the Lusatian culture in Cracow region, described as the Iwanowice-Wysyłek phase and dated to phase D of the Bronze Age and phase A1 of the Hallstatt period. Features associated with later periods are scarce. The pottery is very typical – it contains all characteristic elements shared by Cracovian enclave of the Lusatian culture and its Silesian counterpart, with few analogies in the Transcarpathian zone. In the light of chronological data, mapping of the features containing vessels decorated with bosses helps to delineate the first functional zone of the settlement (Fig. 30), with 6-8 simultaneously functioning homesteads. Possibly, 8 homesteads have continued to be used (Fig. 31). A few of them were still in use at the beginning of period IV of the Bronze Age (Ha A2).
