Fenomen „situli”? – znaczenie naczyń glinianych określanych mianem „situl” w obrządku pogrzebowym ludności kultury wielbarskiej w Wielkopolsce
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to present issues concerning the presence of so called situlas (pottery vessels, no bronze) in Wielbark culture inventories from Wielkopolska. These vessels are very rare within cemeteries and settlements as well. And until now the criteria of such spatial distribution have remained unknown. In this paper so called situlas from Wielkopolska will be characterised, particularly in the context of their deposition in individual graves and within the necropolises, as well as within settlements. Further parts of this article deal with research problems connected with the role and meaning of so called situlas in Wielbark culture burial rite in Wielkopolska, in particular in the light of anthropological analysis results. The paper also presents the hypothesis explaining sparsity of so called situlas occurrence and very specific localisation of these vessels in the area of Wielkopolska. At the end of the article research demands and questions will be presented. They will enable and give direction for further discussion on the compelling issue of phenomenon of so called situlas of full spatial and chronological aspects of their occurrence
Borealny Bolków. Nowe badania obozowisk mezolitycznych nad jeziorem Świdwie
Get PDFNew research of the Mesolithic camps in Bolków on Świdwie lake provided rich archaeological evidence, including that related to the oldest settlement of the Maglemose culture. The assemblages appeared in Świdwie lake area around 8800/8700 BP and they suggest connection with western Jutland
Kilka uwag na temat antycznej metrologii oraz ceramiki attyckiej okresu geometrycznego i zasad jej dekoracji
Get PDFThe article deals with the ancient metrology and a possible recognition of the rules determining ornamentation observed on Attic geometric pottery. While referring to former studies, the author presents ornamentation of Attic geometric pottery, revealing an exceptional standardisation and repetitiveness of elements, as having two developmental tendencies. One concerns horizontal arrangement of decorative motifs, placed in surrounding belts, while the other decoration is put in vertical panels, focusing. These both tendencies in the course of development of Attic geometric period become one harmonized whole. It is also possible to demonstrate on an example of monumental became from Athens (inv. NM 804), that the vessel was exactly twice as tall as the biggest width of its body, as well as that ornaments covering its whole surface have been made according to an accepted module. The author suggests that such a way of thinking and ordering activities should not be interpreted as proving the beginnings of classical mathematical thinking, which is to develop later. However, metrological analyses of ancient artefacts suggests that such objects as Attic geometric pottery may permit recognition of already existing disposition of its creators for visual representations of experienced reality and for attempts made to generalize these experiences
Topory kamienne i siekiera krzemienna z okolic Giecza (pow. średzki wielkopolski, woj. wielkopolskie) w kontekście osadnictwa neolitycznego
Get PDFThe aim of the article is to discuss two previously unpublished Neolithic stone axes and a flint one, found in the vicinity of the Archaeological Reserve in Giecz. The artefacts have been discussed in the context of the Neolithic settlement from the area of their discovery
Charakterystyka nakopalnianej pracowni krzemieniarskiej z okresu schyłkowego paleolitu na podstawie materiałów krzemiennych ze stanowiska Kłodawa 3, pow. gorzowski, woj. lubuskie
Get PDFDiscoveries of mine-type workshop linked to hunter-gatherers within the Polish Plain have been rare. In 2001, excavations at site 3 in Kłodawa, Gorzów county, ended providing a rich collection of flint artefacts. Technological and typological analysis permitted interpretation of the collected assemblages as remnants of a Final Palaeolithic mine type workshop related to the Swiderian-Ahrensburgian technocomplex
The case of Nowe Warpno – new dimension of underwater research in the Szczecin Lagoon
Get PDFFollowing paper presents a new aspect of the study of submerged landscapes in the Szczecin Lagoon. This aspect is the importance of coastal processes for the conservation status of the sites and archaeological contexts. Underwater prospection can lead to collection of archaeological material of an entirely different character. These artifacts may in fact come from the destroyed land erosion processes (abrasion), and so – in terms of methodology of archeology – lie on the secondary deposit. Of course, cognitive value of such sources is very different than artifacts found in full context. However, there is possibility to use them not only to study archeology, but to assess the scale, pace and extent of coastal phenomena perceived as post-depositional processes
Proces formowania się państwa Piastów
Get PDFThe paper presents a question of the Piast state formation based on the changes in the network of settlements, in particular the strongholds. The results of archaeological research, enriched by studies performed by historians, show that the processes of forming the Piast state took a relatively short time and it did not entail a period of competition between local tribal leaders. Its character was revolutionary, which determines the uniqueness of the processes occurring in the Polish lands over a thousand years ago.
Słów kilka o Mosinie (na marginesie badań archeologicznych przeprowadzonych na mosińskiej starówce w 2011 r.)
Get PDFThe archaeological excavations conducted in the spring of 2011 in yard No. 7 in the vicinity of old market at Plac 20 Października (20th October Square) were the first in the history of the town large-scale investigations of residential urban area in Mosina. Late-medieval and modern relics of buildings have been unearthed, and an extremely interesting assemblage of the fifteenth-eighteenth century pottery and small objects of everyday use collected. The absence of materials dating from the fifteentheighteenth- century Middle Ages speaks in favour of the thesis suggested by researchers that Mosina might have been translocated into its present location from neighbouring Niwka
