Vorläufiger Bericht über die Prospektionsarbeiten der Jahre 2010 und 2011 im Umfeld der Höhensiedlung von Janowice (AZP 106-65 Nr. 61) im mittleren Dunajectal, Kleinpolen

In this paper we report on systematic survey work on Bronze Age sites in the middle part of the Dunajec river valley, Lesser Poland. For some years now, excavations have been carried out on the site of Janowice AZP 106-65 no. 61. The survey work reported on here aims to establish the chronological and – if possible – functional relation of adjacent sites to the north and south of the hilltop site of Janowice that has a long tradition of settlement during the Bronze and Early Iron Ages. Amongst others we report on systematic surface survey work and geomagnetic prospection carried out on AZP 106-65 no. 57, a site only a little distance downhill from no. 61, on the sites AZP 106-65 nos. 70, 71, 72, 74, 75 and 103 towards the north in the Lubinka valley, and on a number of sites south of Janowice no. 61 in the Zakliczyn basin and adjacent foothills further south (e.g. AZP 107-65 nos. 75 and 83). From this intensive survey work that aims at a complete coverage and verification of sites previously reported by AZP an increasingly better understanding of the dynamics of a (Late) Bronze Age to Early Iron Age microregion is beginning to emerge.
