Carpathian Troy

The Carpathian Troy Archaeological Open-Air Museum is located in Trzcinica, in south-eastern Poland, a few kilometres north-west of Jasło, in the Ropa river valley. The site is among the most important archaeological locations in Poland, of exceptional significance for understanding the prehistory of all of East-Central Europe.

Excavations, especially those led by Jan Gancarski since 1991, have uncovered over 160,000 artefacts — vessels, ceramics, flint and stone tools, bone, antler, bronze and iron objects.

Trzcinica is home to one of the first strongly fortified settlements known in Poland, dating to the early Bronze Age, over 4,000 years ago, as well as the first Polish settlement of the Otomani-Füzesabony culture with clear Mediterranean influences. Because of the significance of this discovery, the site was named "Carpathian Troy".
