In total 34 features of the Przeworsk culture were located, determined on the basis of ceramic material or by the stratigraphic context. The features included 11 postholes, 22 utility pits and storage pits and one hearth. Altogether, a set of 922 ceramics fragments was obtained, of which 93% comes from fills of the features. It demonstrates (typical of this type of materials) co-existence of styling trends typical of old pre-Roman tradition coming from the Jastorf and the Pomeranian and early Pre-Roman area, connected with the La Tene tradition. From the point of view of the development of the Przeworsk culture settlement functioning was determined as phase A1, not later than phase A2, therefore the post in Ciechanów becomes an important point of the turn of the early and late Pre-Roman period on the settlement map of the northern Mazovia.
