Abstract
This paper presents the results of the non-invasive search for defensive settlements from the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in the Szreniawa valley and in its closest upland area (Proszowice Plateau and the Miechow Upland). This investigation was carried out in 2018 by archaeologists gathered in the “Stater” Association of Field Archaeologists and was funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. During this study geomagnetic tests and surveying were carried out on 18 sites, which were selected on the basis of satellite image analysis. The total investigated area covered 40 hectares. Spatial analysis of the artefacts compared with the course of magnetic anomalies allowed the determination of the chronology of the investigated settlements. The outcome of this project points to the presence of at least 15 well-documented prehistoric defensive settlements of various types found on 10 archaeological sites. The discovered settlements can be attributed to the Lublin-Volhynian, Funnel Beaker-Baden, Trzciniec and Lusatian Cultures.
