Abstract

Within the research of the most important early medieval centers in Polish territory, the study of the strongholds themselves and of their background is centrally important. In the case of Wrocław, such analyses have been undertaken several times, but in view of the enormous increase in the sources obtained in the course of wide-ranging rescue research, it worth taking a look at this problem again. The aim of this article is to capture the dynamics of settlement changes in the early Middle Ages in the area of today’s city of Wroclaw and its closest surroundings. In order for this study to be credible, all possible data was used (AZP – Archaeological Photo of Poland, available publications, materials collected in museums, unpublished reports from research) in order to recreate the image of the settlement of this period. The result is a new look at the development of settlement in the vicinity of a large center, like Wroclaw, and an attempt to capture the factors determining these transformations.
