Ceramika grafitowa z Ostrowa Tumskiego w Poznaniu
Get PDFThe article’s objective is to present the first graphite goods found at the princely part of the Poznań stronghold. Pottery fragments, a disc with a hole made of graphite sherd, and spindle whorl have been discovered at the foundations of the Mieszko I palatium, next to the remains of a goldsmith’s workshop. Relatively straightforward stratigraphy, despite later destruction caused by numerous construction phases of the Sacred Mary Church, along with accompanied artifacts from the layers, make possible to date these finds to the period stretching from the 10 -1 1th to the 12th 13th centuries and regard them as ‘imports’ from the south. Besides the 12th century settlement at Szeląg, this is the second site in Poznań where this characteristic type of pottery has been found.The article’s objective is to present the first graphite goods found at the princely part of the Poznań stronghold.

Wczesnośredniowieczne grodzisko wklęsłe w Bninie koło Poznania w świetle dotychczasowych ustaleń dendrochronologicznych
Get PDFThe article presents results of dendrochronological investigations of wooden constructions of the rampart of early medieval stronghold in Bnin (current location Kómik-Bnin), of which a well preserved stone-wooden-earthen fortifications are among the best recognized in Wielkopolska. The site was excavated in the years 1961-1969. The relicts of two phases of the rampart construction discovered in so-called northern trench were dated to the end of the 12,h - beginning of the 13lh century. Based on results of dendrochronological dates of 25 samples taken in 1994, a discovered part of the rampart was constructed in two phases with a break in the year 939. The older construction was finished in 938, while the younger one in 940.The article presents results of dendrochronological investigations of wooden constructions of the rampart of early medieval stronghold in Bnin (current location Kómik-Bnin), of which a well preserved stone-wooden-earthen fortifications are among the best recognized in Wielkopolska.

Rola dziegciu i kory w zdobnictwie naczyń neolitycznych. Lingwistyczny przyczynek do prahistorii estetyki
Get PDFThe article presents hypothetical interpretation of expressions connected with the use of tar and bark in the decoration of Central European Neolithic vessels. The data of Indoeuropean linguistics make it possible to discern sources of important aesthetic categories in reference to the methods of bark working and use. Some traditional expressions of beauty and grace derive from the names of techniques of vegetable dye use and from birch tar glossiness. The linguistic evidence presented above gives an empirical support to archaeological observations. It constitutes the basis of “genealogical” analysis in which prehistory of production is treated as a culture-practical context of formation of later aesthetic categories.The article presents hypothetical interpretation of expressions connected with the use of tar and bark in the decoration of Central European Neolithic vessels.

Get PDFThe article is aimed at presentation of the most important views on genesis and distribution of tholos tombs in ancient Thrace. There have been 34 such monuments discovered to date. They were not only the last-resting place for local aristocracy but played also a significant sacral role in the light of religious, mythological and eschatological beliefs of ancient Thracs.The article is aimed at presentation of the most important views on genesis and distribution of tholos tombs in ancient Thrace.

Przemiany społeczno-kulturowe w okresie formowania się państwa piastowskiego w Wielkopolsce północno-zachodniej na podstawie materiałów archeologicznych z Santoka i Międzyrzecza
Get PDFThe strongholds of Santok and Międzyrzecz belong to major centers of the northwestern Great Poland in the period of formation the first Polish state. They were occupied in the same time but developed in entirely different conditions. The Santok stronghold is located on the borderland between Great Poland and Pomerania, at the place where two rivers – Warta and Noteć converge. A placement of the site within a communication net, in the border zone, and in a close proximity to the Baltic, facilitated contacts with distant regions leading to the development of strongholds in the Early Middle Ages. The stronghold was erected as a trade outpost in the 8th century. Archaeological excavations of different stratigraphic levels produced a very rich collection of artifacts originating from remote areas of the Baltic zone as well as eastern and southern Europe. This made possible to recognize subsequent phases of the settlement development and reflect on the role Santok played in the past. Międzyrzecz is situated on the Obra river in a long occupied area in western part of Great Poland. The stronghold was built in the first half of the 10th century. The analysis of the ceramic materials indicates that trajectory of pottery production departs from the developments reported for central Great Poland, but shows similarities to the Lower Lusatian region. This is indicative of connections among Slavic tribes inhabiting this region in the 9th century. In the following 10th century, Międzyrzecz was incorporated into the first Piast State and it became one of its most important centers of administration. The ramparts were rebuilt and widened. In the 11th century, the abbey was built near Międzyrzecz to facilitate missionary work among the pagan Slavs. The development of Santok and Międzyrzecz in the Early Middle Ages was determined by their placing in the very center of the communication net. The Piast dynasty attributed a defensive character to this part of the country, aimed at protecting its core from a military invasion coming from the west. These circumstances led eventually to the emergence and subsequent dynamic development of these cities
Wychodnie rud miedzi na terenie ukrainy zachodniej jako baza surowcowa metalurgii kolorowej w okresie funkcjonowania kultury trypolskiej
Get PDFThe article presents a study of copper ore from western Ukraine aimed at explanation of possibilities of their exploitation for the color metallurgy development during the period of Tripolye culture. It gives a short characteristics of lithological, mineralogical, and geochemical composition of copper ores from the Dneper area, Volhynia, and the Carpathians plateau. It further presents results of chemical and spectral analysis of ore-bearing rocks, evaluation of its current state and potential possibilities of their use in the past. Based upon a statement that metal objects produced during the existence of the Tripolye culture were made of pure copper two methods of its procurement were considered: (a) from a virgin copper, and (b) from oxygenated copper ore of sedimentary origin in which a small number of admixtures was noticed. The paper shows the potential of studies aimed at explanation of the correlation between contemporary and past copper ores and some copper goods from archaeological sites of the Tarnopol region.The article presents a study of copper ore from western Ukraine aimed at explanation of possibilities of their exploitation for the color metallurgy development during the period of Tripolye culture.

Pierwsi rolnicy na ziemi kociewskiej - refleksja z najnowszych odkryć archeologicznych
Get PDFThe article is aimed at presentation of a newly discovered Linear Band Pottery settlement at Kościelna Jania, Smętowo Graniczne commune. The site was excavated during rescue works on the Al highway. It has been the largest settlement o f this culture in the Starogard Lake District explored to date. In 21 excavated features, mainly settlement pits, numerous pottery sherds and animal bones (post-consumption remains) were found. Pottery technology and decoration make possible to link these materials with the Note phase and date them back to 430CM1000 be.The article is aimed at presentation of a newly discovered Linear Band Pottery settlement at Kościelna Jania, Smętowo Graniczne commune.
