During the Early Bronze Age there was a very high level of territorial
mobility of the Únětice culture in Silesia, a large community inhabiting
the south western territories of Poland approximately 4,000 years ago.
This is found in a new doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg
which also conclusively confirms the first case of human long-distance
overseas journey to Silesia from Scandinavia, probably from southern
Sweden.
'Over 3800 years ago, a young male, possibly born in Skåne, made a
journey of over 900 kilometers south, to Wroclaw in Poland. He died
violently in Wroclaw, killed by Úněticean farmers, possibly due to
romance with two local females, who were murdered together with him.
This 'Bronze Age love story', with no happy ending is the first case of
Swedish-Polish contacts in history ever', concludes archaeologist Dalia
Pokutta, author of the thesis. [...] sciencedaily.com
