. The earth and its inhabitants .. . n- Sfupianowa 50' %!/m;- 'W I -J i # of,. , twdt%iskaAi--i'^ E of Gr. 5 Miles. tribes and traders passing from the Euxine to the Baltic. Pagan graves are very numerous, some of vast size, and certain artificial mounds in the Vistula basin dating from the neolithic period have a circuit of 570 yards. The numerous lakelets, many of which have been drained, also preserve traces of old lacustrine dwellings like those of Switzerland. Funeral urns containing ashes and charred bones, bronze bodkins, rings, pearls, and other small articles have been found in thousands, and the remains of pottery are so abundant in some districts that the inhabitants fancied such ware were produced spontaneously in the ground. Amongst the urns found in graves of much later date than the stone age, and containing metal objects, several present the profile of a human head, and from some Poman remains found in them, these have been referred to the first century of the Christian era.
