Sprawozdanie z badań wielokulturowego stanowiska archeologicznego na projektowanej obwodnicy miasta Wielunia w miejscowości Bieniądzice, stanowisko 5, gm. Wieluń, woj. łódzkie

Site Bieniądzice 5, located on the route of the planned Wieluń bypass, was investigated in 2007 by the Professor Konrad Jażdżewski Foundation for Archaeological Research in Łódź. The research excavation embraced ca 123 ares and revealed relics and features from a number of chronological-cultural levels. The oldest findings are attributed to the late-Paleolithic and Mesolithic. The Neolithic period is represented by single artefacts, which we attribute mainly to the Funnelbeaker culture. Early periods of the Bronze Age are represented by vessel fragments of the Linin group, Trzciniec culture and the Mogiła circle. One of the basic levels is formed by relics of a settlement of the Kępin subgroup of the Upper Silesian – Lesser Polish group of the Lusatian culture from VEB – HaC/D. Another level is connected with the relics of the Pomeranian/Cloche-Grave culture. The most significant chronological-cultural level at the site is a complex of ca 850 hearths/furnaces of the Przeworsk culture dated from the 1st century BC to the 3rd/4th century AD.
