Act locally, think northerly: The aftermaths of the Pomeranian culture expansion onto...
Karol Dzięgielewski (Jagiellonian University)
After several decades of academic discussions there is a kind of consensus now that from the
beginning of the younger Early Iron Age (Hallstatt D period) a series of migratory events took
place from the southern Baltic coast (Pomerania) towards the southern regions of what is today
Poland and even as far as the western Ukraine. Although this process still awaits
bioarchaeological confirmations (hampered by exclusive crematory burial rite), it is distinctly
visible in the distribution of the so-called northern component in material remains across the
middle Polish lowlands and northern parts of the southern Polish uplands. The set of traits,
which were completely foreign to these areas, embraces multi-urn stone chest graves, face urns,
cap like urn lids, and characteristic bronze collars (breast plates) or their pictograms on urns.
Since one of the incentives for the migration of mobile Pomeranian kin groups was probably
the will to improve their economic status, soon after the arrival at the newly settled areas, there
appeared evidence of adapting farming strategies from the local Lusatian culture societies.
However, as in historical cases of post-migration adaptations, other areas of culture (the inner
domain of habitus according to Bourdieu: burial rite, attire, symbols of social or religious
status) remained more resistant to change. Analysing respective material culture from middle
and southern Poland, one can observe ’negotiations’ with local patterns and attempts at
maintaining old values, even when contact with the motherland and its material culture
developments was hard or broken.
