ABSTRACT
The cemetery in Wólka Prusinowska is situated in the north-eastern upper bank of Lake Zyzdrój Wielki.
The first excavations were conducted there at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The site was
rediscovered in 2017. During the two seasons of excavation, dozens of metal objects, burnt human bones and
fragments of ceramics overlooked or discarded by the first researchers were discovered. Thanks to non-invasive
tests, the unexcavated part of the cemetery was also identified. The discovered finds can be dated to the main part
of the Migration Period.
