Forschungen an der Fundstelle der Lausitzer Kultur in Sufczyce, Fst. 8, Kr. Staszów, im Jahre 2005

Site no. 8 at Sufczyce is located within the Połaniec Hills (the subregion of Nida Basin), just above the Wschodnia River flood terrace. It was recorded during the surface surveys in 1992. The research conducted in 2005 confirmed the site as a settlement of the Lusatian culture. The characteristic fragments of pottery can be applied mostly to the Tarnobrzeg group of the Lusatian culture. Flint artefacts are connected with splinered (84%) and flake technique (16%). Most of the tools were made by flake technique (7 retouched flakes, one perforator, one end-scraper), whereas only one too (perforator) was made by splintered technique. There are also stone artefacts: the polisher, querns and grinders. Settlement pits were also discovered. The site is dated at the Hallstatt D period, i.e. the third phase of the Tarnobrzeg group. This means that the settlement at Sufczyce should be regarded as further evidence of the extensive penetration of its settlement from the San basin to the west, which took place at the end of the Hallstatt period.
