O krzemieniarstwie neolitycznym i neolityzacji ziem polskich – wokół teorii, metod i języka
Get PDFThe article is a reflection on the research on the neolithic flint working ongoing in Polish archaeology for over 40 years. Accepting year 1971 as a turning point for the development of a new specialisation, an attempt has been made in the article to assess the impact of the assumptions of the New Archaeology, but also other paradigms, on the study of neolithic flint artefacts. The evaluation was based on the conclusions resulting from, among others, a textual analysis, for the purpose of this article understood as a kind of source of knowledge about more or less consciously accepted theoretical assumptions in studies on flint working, published by various authors, in methods of classifying data in particular, and their position in the process of describing/explaining/interpreting past reality
Cmentarzysko ludności kultury pucharów lejkowatych w Marianowie, pow. koniński, stan. 17
Get PDFThe cemetery in Marianowo is the first non-megalithic burial site of the Funnel Beaker culture (hereinafter referred to as TRB from German Trichterbecherkultur), which has been recorded in eastern Wielkopolska. It is also the first one where biritual funeral rites have been adopted. Despite the poor evidence, it might be generally dated to the Classic Wiórek phase (III), and even to sub-phase IIIC of TRB. All six unearthed burials were of children, and the question of the reason why one of them was cremated provides a wide range of interpretative alternatives
Finalna obróbka krzemiennych siekier i narzędzi siekieropodobnych. Studium eksperymentalne
Get PDFThis article discusses the final processing of flint axes and wedge-shaped tools. The author in his considerations focuses primarily on the use of two hypothetical processes, i.e. hand grinding or grinding with extra weight at the final stage of manufacturing these tools. Thus, he refers to the work by Danish archaeologist B. Madsen of 1984, entitled “Flint Axe Manufacture in the Neolithic: Experiments with Grinding and Polishing of Thin-Butted Flint Axes”, in which the researcher discussed, for the first time, an occurrence of these techniques in the axe-production process. The author of the article makes an attempt to repeat Madsen’s achievements, to check validity of the concept, and to include also an issue of using so called abrasive materials to support a grinding process in prehistory.
Zagadnienie tzw. domów kultowych w megalitycznym obrządku pogrzebowym ludności kultury pucharów lejkowatych w Polsce
Get PDFThe article is a summary of the state of the art concerning the so-called cult houses discovered in megaliths of the Funnel Beaker culture (hereinafter referred to as TRB from German Trichterbecherkultur) in its Eastern and South-Eastern groups. The author suggests to divide the discussed objects into types “A” and “B”, which may better reflect their characteristics. He also emphasises that the reinterpretation of some of the known features as the structures of this type would significantly increase their number. If the chosen course of interpretation appears accurate, it may indicate that the presence of wooden structures in the TRB graves in the Polish lands was not at all special. However, it should be borne in mind that these objects might have served not only for religious purposes
Źródła archeologiczne do dziejów drukarstwa na przykładzie drukarni z Ostrowa Tumskiego w Poznaniu
Get PDFThe article presents the results of archaeological and architectural investigations that have been carried out within a former printing house at the Lubrańskiʼs Academy in Ostrów Tumski in Poznań, together with a collection of lead pieces of type collected between 2002 and 2014. Archaeological evidence serves as a pretext for revising the history of printing houses operating in the area since the turn of the seventeenth century towards the end of the eighteenth century
Granice poznania dzieła malarskiego jako dzieła „sztuki” pradziejowej. Na kanwie rozważań Romana Ingardena
Get PDFThe aim of the article is to discuss how phenomenological method might be applied for interpretation of rock paintings as works of prehistoric “art”. Polish phenomenologist, Roman Ingarden’s deliberations will be referred to, his diagnosis of cognitive attitudes towards works of music, with the aim of illustrating their usefulness on the ground of archaeology for interpretation of works of prehistoric “art”

Get PDFZwierzęta w czasach nowożytnych (XVIII-XIX w.) Dane archeozoologiczne z badań na terenie osady w Nakonowie Starym stan. 2, gm. Choceń, woj. kujawsko-pomorskie
Get PDFArchaeozoological research based on the 1159 animal remains analysis, recorded at the former locality of Nakonowo Stare village. The assemblage under studies was dated to the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries. Within typical post-consumption remains the cattle was the best represented (54%). Other species identified were pigs (19%), sheep/goats (9%), horse (11%), dog (4%), deer (0,08%), hen (0,8%) and goose (0,2%). The meat-oriented selection preferred animals unnecessary for the further breeding. The cattle kept in the eighteenth-nineteenth-century village was of the brahycerous type, 90-134 cm height, also pigs were rather small in size. The horses were more diverse, measuring 110-155 cm in the withers. Model of breeding and a meat consumption in Nakonowo Stare represented one of the three main scenarios for the domesticated stock usage in Central Europe
