Lusatian Culture Cemetery in Baczyn

The Lusatian culture cemetery in Baczyn is an archaeological site in Liszki municipality, in Kraków County. It was discovered in 1964 in farmland, at a place called Zamczysko, in the eastern part of the village.

What archaeologists established

Excavations were carried out from 24 August to 19 September 1964 and from 2 August to 7 September 1965. More than 400 graves with varied burial rites were found, along with many objects of everyday use. An early medieval stronghold also existed in the same place. The long-term research was carried out by J. and A. Krauss.

Today

The site is entered in the register of immovable monuments of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The available sources do not describe any relics visible on the surface, and the area is farmland, so one should not expect a developed visitor site. The Zimny Dół reserve lies about 1.4 km away.

Practical information

• Location: the eastern part of Baczyn, Liszki municipality, the Zamczysko fields.
• There is no information on marking or access, and the land is cultivated. It is worth asking the Liszki municipal office about the rules of entry.
