From Poland, until recently, we have had at our disposal only a handful of persuasive evidence to con¬firm the existence in Early Iron Age societies in our region of an outstanding, leading stratum. For the first time at Domasław (distr. Wrocław, Lower Silesia) at the cemetery of the “Lusatian Culture” people dated to the Bronze and Early Iron Age was discovered a complex of several dozen Hallstatt cremation graves of elaborate construction and exceptionally rich furnishings. The graves from the Hallstatt period represent a separate province in the cemetery. We may assume that the in¬dividuals buried in them belonged to a social stratum quite apart from the rest of the community. Premises which help us grasp the social structure of the Early Iron Age people in Silesia have been secured at settlement sites. For the first time in Silesia, and even in Poland and Central Europe, we have gained such a wide-scale perspective on settlement sites of the Lusatian Culture people. This has made possible diverse analyses of the layout, character of the build-up, social topography of settlement sites, economic issues, as well as diverse aspects of social and symbolic culture}, type={Text}, title={Problemy obrazu kultury wczesnej epoki żelaza na Śląsku w świetle nowych badań terenowych}, keywords={Lusatian culture, Halstatt period, chamber graves}, }
