Elblag is a city in northern Poland. During the Middle Ages the Old Prussian settlement of Truso was located at Lake Drusen near the current site of Elbląg. Archaeological finds in 1897 and diggings in the 1920's placed Truso at Gut Hansdorf. A large burial field was also found at Elbing. Artifacts were placed in the Elbing Museum.Recent Polish diggings show burned beams and ashes and many 1000 year old artifacts on an area about 20 hectares.
