A cremation grave from the Late Pre-Roman Period, discovered at Budziszki in north-eastern Mazovia, offers insights into the emergence of the Przeworsk culture in this poorly researched border region. The burial, probably of an adult woman, contained a bimetallic ‘ball brooch’, a clay urn and a stone polisher. Many features of this grave indicate western affinities. Some originate in the western zone of the Przeworsk culture and the socalled Jastorf culture in the Polish Lowland, while others trace back to the Jastorf culture of the middle Elbe and Oder regions. The grave, dated to phase A1b or early A2, predates the establishment of a stable settlement associated with the Przeworsk culture in the area. The evidence, including the Budziszki burial and other discussedfinds, suggests that the presence of small, mobile groups from the west may have initiated the local development of this cultural unit. The Budziszki find exemplifies the hybrid character of the cultural processes shaping the Przeworsk culture in north-eastern Mazovia
