Infiltration during the Early Roman Period of the Carpathian zone by the people of Przeworsk Culture is well confirmed by the archaeological record from the upper course of the San river. Their presence is evidenced by a number of settlement sites identified and variously investigated in the area of interest, dating from the later phase of the Early Roman Period and early phase of the Late Roman Period (R. Madyda-Legutko 2004, fig. 3). Not all these sites exhibit features of Przeworsk Culture in its ‘pure’ form, typical for areas farther the north of the Carpathian Range. In settlements found on the upper San next to hand-built pottery characteristic for Przeworsk Culture we also find vessels which in their stylistic outlook suggest strong interaction with Dacian cultures (R. Madyda-Legutko 1996, p. 61-66). Culture elements associated with the Dacian environment penetrated to the San basin during the Early Roman Period mainly by way of the Lipica Culture, from the area of the upper Dnestr basin, zone of Przeworsk-Lipice contact (D. N. Kozak 1999), possibly, by way of Zemplin environment from eastern Slovakia (R. Madyda-Legutko 1996, p. 104). While Przeworsk Culture presence in the upper San basin during the Early Roman Period is confirmed by a number of settlement sites recently we had no evidence of cemeteries from the same area. Between the world wars a single grave was discovered at Załuż, north-east of Sanok (M. Alek¬siewicz 1958, p. 50-51; P. N. Kotowicz 2004, p. 715, 717, fig. 4h). A number of seriously deteriorated burials registered at Bachórz-Chodorówka, site 1 may have dated from the Roman Period (M. Gedl 1999, p. 40). With no evidence of cemeteries reliably dated to the Roman Period available in the Polish Carpathian zone, despite earlier studies made in the foothill zone and Beskidy Mountains, the Przeworsk gravefield at Prusiek, site 25 (distr. Sanok, woj. podkarpackie) is truly exceptional (Fig. 1). It was discovered by accident in 1980 farming activity at which time a deteriorated funerary deposit was unearthed producing eg a sword ritually bent out of shape and two points from shafted weapons. One of these has survived (Fig. 2:1) and is now in keeping of the Museum in Sanok (P. N. Kotowicz 2004, p. 717–718, fig. 5). Site 25 at Prusiek lies on a promontory between two small streams – Sanoczek and its tributary Niebieszczanka (Fig. 1). Geologically the area is a former basin-like river valley bottom with fossil abandoned river channels and intervening ridges buried by river outwash and slope sediments. The burial ground lies on one of these ridges. Sondage excavation carried out by a team from Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in Cracow, in the autumn of 2004 led to the discovery of four urned cremation graves and of a number of stray finds, imaginably the remains of other no longer surviving burials. Investigation by sondage was followed by regular excavation in the summer of 2005, and area of 500 m2 was explored, uncovering 22 further features (21 graves and a pit of unknown purpose). Next to 12 variously preserved urned graves, there were two evident burials inside organic urns, two unurned graves and five burials in such a deteriorated condition that their original mortuary rite cannot be identified. Burials explored so far in general are characterised by relatively rich furnishings. Preliminary analysis of artefacts typology and chronology reveals an evident connection to the eastern zone of Przeworsk Culture (T. Dąbrowska 1973; J. Andrzejowski 1994; 2001), exemplified by eg a bronze strap-end with reduced profiling (Fig. 3:2), bronze brooch (Almgren group II/IV 3rd series – Fig. 3:1) and shield fittings – in bronze (shield grips, edge fittings) or bronze combined with iron. Elements of style typical for eastern zone of Przeworsk Culture are also evident in ceramics, eg large hand built urns with a shiny black surface and three to four (occasionally a larger number) handles, or raised beakers with an openwork foot (Fig. 4:4). Grave inventories, also ones datable to the close of phase B2 of the Early Roman Period next to hand made vessels produced wheel-made (?) ceramics, usually in fragmented condition, vessels with grey abrasive walls, frequently with evidence of cremation. Similar pottery was recorded elsewhere on the upper San (R. Madyda-Legutko 2004, p. 79; R. Madyda-Legutko, E. Pohorska-Kleja 2004; R. Madyda-Legutko, E. Pohorska-Kleja, J. Rodzińska-Nowak 2004). This sheds new light on the question of dating of the origins of wheel-made pottery in Przeworsk Culture environment suggesting also that familiarity with the potter’s wheel could have spread to Przeworsk Culture area in a somewhat different way that previously accepted (cf K. Godłowski 1985; H. Dobrzańska 1980; 1982; 1990). Basing on the preliminary analysis of their attributes all the grave inventories discovered at Prusiek may be dated to the close of the Early Roman or, possibly, the onset of the Late Roman Period ie, to phase B2, B2/C1 and presumably, C1a. The gravefield at Prusiek site 25 represents a link between funerary deposits left by Przeworsk Culture people in the lower reaches of the San and similar evidence known from the upper Tisa, eastern Slovakia, Trans-Carpathian Ukraine, north-eastern Hungary and north-western Romania (V. Budinský-Krička 1967, p. 309–310; V. Budinský-Krička, M. Lamiová-Schmiedlová 1990; M. Lamiová-Schmiedlová, P. Mačala 1991; M. Lamiová-Schmiedlová 1992, p. 75-78, fig. 2; K. Godłowski 1994, p. 72, fig. 2). This corresponds well with what the classical authors have to say about the arrival of Hasdingi, Lacringi and Victovali Vandal tribes from, as is commonly accepted, the territory within the range of Przeworsk Culture, on the Dacian borderland during the Marcomanian Wars of the early 170s AD (Cassius Dio, LXXI, 12,1; K. Godłowski 1982, pp. 48–49).
