In 2005, during rescue archaeological excavations preceding the building of the A-4 motorway, at site no. 7 in Zakrzowiec, Wieliczka district, an object interpreted as a grave of the Wyciąże-Złotniki group of the Lengyel-Polgár complex was discovered. A human skeleton has not been preserved. The grave furnishings consisted of two amphorae of the “milk jug” type (German term: milchtopf, Hungarian term: tejesköcsög). Vessels of this type belong to the basic taxonomic distinction of the Wyciąże-Złotniki group and are known from both graves and settlement sites. One of the vessels from the grave in Zakrzowiec has a unique decoration in the form of Scheibenhenkel type handles and a circumferential zigzag pattern formed of short engraved lines. This is the first such decoration on “milk jug” type amphorae known from the Lesser Poland region
