Since the ancient times the territories on the East from the estuary of the Vistula River and first of all, neighbourhoods of Elbląg were very attractive ground for prehistoric settlement.
     The cemetery at Weklice is situated in a very beautiful place, on one of the hills surrounding the southern verge of the Elbląg Heights. From this place spreads the panoramic view on the Druzno lake valley. The cemetery was used in the Period of Roman Influences, from the end of 1st to the beginning of 4th century after Christ, by the Wielbark archaeological population - Culture which is identified with Goths' stay on the Polish lands. Among numerous antic written sources including information about Germans tribe of Goths, the best informations gives us the work Getica from 6th century A. Ch. written by Jordanes, who was a Latin chronicler. This work shows the way of Goths population's from Scandinavia, through Polish Lands up to Black Sea, to the place where in the Late Antiquity the Ostrogoths, Visigoths and Gepids kingdoms were created.      The cemetery at Weklice is the one of the most interesting and richest necropolis of middle European Barbaricum. With this name Romans described territories beyond closed borders of the Empire.The sites gives us very important and plentiful archaeological and anthropological sources, useful to reconstruction of the history of the population, who lived in the late antiquity on the East part of estuary of the Vistula River.The necropolis is situated in the central point of amber coast of the Baltic Sea, which linked the main trade routs of Ancient Europe. First of the routs led by mainland from the South, and is known as the Amber Rout, second - by the sea - from the West provinces of the Roman Empire, through the Elba basin or from the estuary of the Rhine to Danish Isles and along the coast of the Baltic Sea.Activity of these routs is proved by many finds discovered at Weklice, which were imported from different parts of Ancient World. It is a testimony of wide connections between population from Weklice both with Roman Empire as with Scandinavia.
