The settlement region in the Opava River basin (Upper Silesia) belonged to the southern periphery of the Przeworsk culture. Settlement activity culminated here during the late and final phase of the Roman Period. Numerous settlements situated on terraces of the river Opava were characterised by local production of wheel-thrown pottery. Despite the somewhat problematic dating of these sites, at least some of them may have belonged to the final phase (C3/D). Besides the above-mentioned region, which was relatively well investigated by archaeologists, settlements of the Przeworsk culture have also penetrated to the less known region of Osoblaha and Vidnava, i.e. as far as to the foothills of the Jeseníky Mts. Two localities, which are supposed to be hilltop settlements dating probably from the end of the Roman Period to the beginning of the Migration Period, were discovered in this hilly landscape.
