Die kulturelle Situation im oberen Sangebiet in der römischen Kaiserzeit im Lichte der neuesten Forschungen

Surveys conducted in the upper San area since 70-ties led to the discovery of vast number of settlements dated back to the Roman Period. Since 90-ties until now the expedition of Archaeological Institute of Jagiellonian University carry out excavations on selected sites within the area surrounding Sanok, such as settlement at Pakoszówka (sites 1 and 26) and cemetery at Prusiek. Results of this studies allow us to assume that in contrary to the western part of Polish Carpathians the upper San area constituted during the first centuries AD a kind of transitional zone of different cultural currents. Besides elements of Przeworsk culture the Dacian influences from the Dniester region and the eastern Slovakia are especially noticeable in the area in question.
