Abstract
As early as the Late Stone Age and throughout the Bronze Age, Silesia was successively inhabited by various European peoples, among them the Illyrians, a trace of whose language has been established in the designation Nisa for Neisse and the name of the little river Drama near Beuthen, Upper Silesia. The Illyrians were followed by the Celts coming from Bohemia and Moravia around 400 B.C. and for a short time by the Scythians from the east.
