The Dębczyno Group or Denziner Group (occasionally also West Pomeranian Group ) describes an archaeological culture in West and Central Pomerania from the late Roman Empire to the Migration Period (3rd century CE to 6th century CE). Their main area of ​​distribution is in the coastal area between Leba and the mouth of the Oder ; an accumulation can be found in the catchment area of ​​the Persante .

Oksywie culture and early Wielbark culture: red; the area of ​​the Dębczyno group is represented here partly as part of the Wielbark culture (eastern part) and partly as part of the Jastorf culture (western part)

In the second half of the 3rd century, the eastern part of the area of ​​the Dębczyno group was covered by the Wielbark culture , while in the eastern part of the area a local early imperial culture remained prevalent, which has not yet been archaeologically evaluated. In terms of space, the separation can be determined by the persante and the drage, for example . Influences from the Gustower Group are also present.

At the same time as the decline of the Wielbark culture on the lower Vistula , such a process can also be observed in the eastern part of the Dębczyno group, with the number of pure body burials increasing accordingly. At isolated sites ( Denzin ), however, a continuity of settlement can be concluded.

Subsequently, the 2nd third of the 3rd century is seen as the time when the Dębczyno group actually emerged. The previously very close relationship with the lower Vistula region is loosened and the finds show stronger Elbe Germanic parallels.

The end of the culture is estimated to be in the first quarter of the 6th century CE. Z. dated.

The main bearers of the cultural group are Rugier and Veneter . One should also think of the Lemovians named in Tacitus together with the Rugians and characterized in the same way .

After deducting parts of the Rugians with the Goths , Gepids and others, there remain remains of the Rugians, Venetians and Vidivars and the 'remaining Germans' that were Slavicized from the 7th century onwards.
