Rediscovery of a known site. The results of magnetic and field-walking survey at the Roman period pottery production site in Wrzępia, Lesser Poland / Znovuobjevení známé lokality. Výsledky magnetometrického a povrchového průzkumu hrnčířského centra z doby římské: Wrzępia, Malopolsko

Abstract

This article presents the results of the latest surface and geophysical surveys at the Przeworsk culture site 13 in Wrzępia, Lesser Poland Province. According to the results of magnetic prospection, more than 130 anomalies typical for kilns are present here. Based on the results of surface survey, their interpretation as pottery kilns is most likely. The pottery center specialised mostly in the production of Krausengefässe type of storage vessels. This is confirmed by the presence of almost exclusively of this pottery type on the site’s surface. The results of prospections shed a new light on pottery production in the region.
