Biskupin is the most famous prehistoric settlement in Poland and one of the most famous archaeological discoveries and reserves in Central Europe. Located in Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province, the settlement was built on an island on Lake Biskupin. Biskupin was founded in the mid-8th century BC, which is about the time to which the beginnings of ancient Rome are dated. In ancient Biskupin, all residents were equal, no one was richer or poorer, and there were no traces showing that the residents had any kind of leader. The population of the Biskupin settlement was primarily engaged in fishing, hunting, farming, animal husbandry and crafts such as pottery. Due to its location adjacent to the Amber Road, the settlement's inhabitants also traded with neighbours and merchants. Probably around the 6th century BC, the waters of Lake Biskupin gradually flooded the settlement, and the inhabitants moved to another place. What was left of the town was covered with silt and peat, and it is thanks to this that a large part of the buildings and everyday objects have been preserved in very good condition. This is an example of so-called wet archaeology. There are objects and monuments that store well in anaerobic conditions. Currently, Archaeological Museum along with a reserve is located in Biskupin.
