The cemetery is known for archaeologists from the 20-ties of XIX century. The first finds were discovered by accidental people, while excavating sand from the sand pit. The first excavations were held in year 1925 by a local teacher, Klink, and a few days later by the Prussian archeologist, Feliks Jacobson. The very first find from that excavations, especially a unique bronze imported form Roman Empire pitcher, proved that the site had a very unusual character. Unfortunately the results of these researches, due to the Second World War, were never completely published, and the finds and documentation disappeared irreparably. In 1984 the cemetery was secondary localized, on the basis of a Prussian data archive, by prof. Łucja Okulicz- Kozaryn from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences. After that the new methodical and modern excavation were taken. They were continued up to 1998. The leader of the researches was prof. Jerzy Okulicz - Kozaryn from the Institute of Archaeology University of Warsaw together with his wife prof. Łucja Okulicz - Kozaryn.
     A severe destruction of the cemetery, robbery of the graves even in the antiquity and modern amateurish digging the finds, excavating of the sand and gravel, very deep plough, made that from the beginning of methodological excavations the bigger percent of the graves were totally destroyed. For that reason, and also in order to prepare the publication of the cemetery, new excavations led by Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology were taken in 2003. Materials from these researches are common elaborate by prof. Jerzy Okulicz - Kpzaryn and Magdalena Natuniewicz - Sekula from of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences who at present is a leader of the excavations. The last two seasons of the field works brought a very interesting and new finds concerning customs of the population of Wielbark culture. Moreover in 2004 in the neighbourhood of the cemetery a settlement, which had been inhabited by a population who used the cemetery, was discovered.
