Abstract

Site IX is located on an island on Lake Legińskie, about 1 km north of the village of Łężany and about 2 km south of the village of Leginy. The island is uplifted to a height of about 5 m a.s.l. and its surface measures about 6000 m2. The archaeological site was discovered during the field survey in April 2011. About 200 pieces of pottery were found on the ground and between the roots of fallen trees. In July and August of the same year the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw conducted the excavations. Undertaken study on the island aimed to clarify the chronology and function of the site. During excavation work eight soundings of a total of about 150 m2 were established and seven archeological features and remains of cultural layers were found.
