The investigations revealed a small fragment of an open settlement from the early medieval period with especially interesting materials. Besides a large amount of pottery dating the site to the eleventh century, a collection of metal artefacts was discovered. The most interesting find was a cross-shaped earring made of silver. This find is unique; so far, artefacts of this type have only been discovered as parts of hoards. The findings indicate that the site was unusual in its character, and is particularly interesting considering the unsatisfactory state of research on early medieval settlement in this area}, type={Text}, title={A unique find of a silver cross-shaped earring from an early medieval settlement at Szemud, site 4, in Eastern Pomerania, Poland}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/67493/PDF/WA308_87786_P244_A-unique-find-of_I.pdf}, keywords={settlement, early medieval period, Eastern Pomerania, cross-shaped earring, pottery}, }
