Osada kultury przeworskiej i ślady działań z okresu I wojny światowej w Nienowicach, stan. 17, pow. jarosławski, woj. podkarpackie

During the excavations on site 17 in Nienowice, Jarosław district, a Przeworsk culture settlement was discovered with relics of buildings, hearths and ovens. The movable material is represented by specific, carelessly made hand-made and workshop pottery which, from the point of view of technology, refers to the materials connected with Dacian cultural environment. Apart from the pottery, among others, a glass melon-shaped bead and a sandstone plate were discovered. The settlement dates back to the late period of development of the Przeworsk culture (stage C1b/C2-phase D) and is connected with the processes of settlement on the right-bank Sandomierz Basin. The economy of the inhabitants was not based on agriculture, but, most probably, on exploiting the specific natural environment. The traces of activities from the period of World War I manifested themselves in a form of trenches and some movable material, including pieces of barbed wire, sapper’s equipment, ammunition - both Russian and Austro-Hungarian. The discovered fortifications are a part of the fortifications on the line of the Vishnya and are connected with the activities conducted after the Gorlice offensive in 1915.
