This article is a contribution to the discussion initiated by Krzysztof Jaworski's study of early medieval hill forts in the Sudety Mountains at the time of Poland's Tribal Age (8th-10th century). It contains a critical reassessment of the methodological and factographic aspects of Jaworski's book and a survey of a number of analogies that can be observed in the functioning of such settlements both in the Sudety Mts. and in the Carpathians.
