In studies on Roman Period we register attempts to read certain archaeological sources as evidences of the presene of Sarmatians on the territory of modern Poland. In 1960s thsi concept was backed by T.Sulimirski, who linked with Sarmatian Antes the Polish finds of objects with "tamgas", as well as introducing here the wheel-made "grey" pottery, adopted by the Przeworsk culture. Wealthy "princely graves" and well furnished burials from the Young and Late Roman Period and certain "hoards" from the People's Migration Period were related to Alanian-Sarmatian people.

Sulimirski's concept was not generally accepted and after his death his line of research was abandoned.

However, recent years have brought new interesting data related to the issue in question. Most important discovering in the "princely grave" at Giebułtów near Kraków an assemblage of artifacts affiliated with the Sarmatian culture. It can be complemented by a few single finds of the same provinance, mostly in Souhtern Poland. All these discoveries suggest that long abandoned question should be now reconsidered. Studies on identification of the Sarmatian items as well as their ethnical interpretation are one of the most important goals in Roman Period research in Poland.
