SEASON 2003
Marek Chlodnicki, Krzysztof M. Cialowicz

The present campaign, sponsored by the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, the Poznan
Prehistoric Society and the Polish Centre of Archaeology of Warsaw University, lasted from
April 5 to June 18.
During the 2003 season work continued on the western kom in an area which had been
partly excavated in 2001. Further work was also carried out on the central kom, within the
confines of a trench traced in 2000 and later extended to the west. On the eastern tell two
trial trenches were explored: one at the cemetery site and the second in the settlement area.
Post-processing work was conducted on site, dealing with the pottery, flint and other stone
tools, as well as the animal remains.
