Abstract

Luzino burial ground is the easternmost site of the Dębczyno group, located in Wejherowo county, in the northern Polish province of Pomerania. The cemetery occupied the summit of a slightly elevated terrain ridge. The remains of 20 graves, most probably only skeletal burials, were recorded, in which, apart from one case, no bone material survived. Grave goods were recorded in five of them. In four graves, small-sized hand-made vessels were recorded whose state of preservation allowed their reconstruction, while in one burial an elaborate necklace of beads (glass and amber, see below), a brooch and probably a belt buckle were discovered. 
The materials found at the Luzino site should be associated with the late stages of Migration Period. The burials with grave goods, however, show mainly links to the Elbe circle, while Scandinavian influences are lacking in the mobile materials.
