The Huns on Polish lands — an attempt to summarise Piotr Kaczanowski - Judyta Rodzinska-Nowak The question of the range and character of Hunnic influences on the peoples inhabiting the northern part of Central Europe belongs to the least known issues in the history of the Huns after they took control over the Carpathian Basin in the late-4th century AD. Any conclusions concerning this topic are based on the scanty and vague accounts of ancient authors. One can only mention the information provided by Priscus (Fragmenta 8) that the reign of Attila reached ‘as far as the islands on the Ocean’ and a fragment of a song, recorded by Jordanes, praising the deeds of the deceased Attila who ‘acquired Scythian and Germanic kingdoms’ (Getica 257; cf. Godlowski 1985. 154— 155, Kaczanowski-Kozlowski 1998. 286-287, cf. Tejral 2007. 109). In light of the above one can suppose that the range of the Hunnic state influences included the Oder and Vistula basins as well, and - according to Priscus - reached the southern coast of the Baltic Sea.

In the literature addressing the history and culture of Hunnic tribes, the most often quoted finds from Poland are a ‘princely’ grave from Jakuszowice, Kazimierza Wielka district in western Lesser Poland and what is described as a ritual deposit from J^drzychowice, Otawa district in Lower Silesia (Fig. I). These finds have spurred a long discussion on their character and importance as the indicators of connections linking the inhabitants of Southern Poland with the confederation of tribes led by the NyJAME LV. 2013. 431^450. 431
