As part of the National Science Center project, Prof. Przemysław Urbańczyk and the archaeologists from the Institute of Archeology of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University (UKSW) in Warsaw discovered an ancient settlement in the Białowieża Forest.

During the research, numerous antique items were discovered – mainly fragments of clay vessels, flints, objects of metal and glass. On this basis, it can be concluded that human activity was concentrated there primarily in the last centuries BCE, as well as in the first centuries AD and belonged to the culture of stroke- ornamented ceramics and the later Wielbark culture.

Another period of the human activity in the site studied by archaeologists is modernity (the 17th century). Researchers managed to find coins from this period.
