Teoria i metodologia archeologii na Uniwersytecie w Poznaniu
Get PDFThe article attempts to present and evaluate the role and achievements of the Department of History and Methodology of Prehistory at the Institute of Prehistory at Adam Mickiewicz University, in terms of a reflection on theory and methodology of archaeology, developed in the framework of the Department, and pioneered by Professor Jan Żak. The first part presents an overview of the theoretical reflection and the range of issues undertaken by Professor Żak, while the second, by the employees of the Department of History and Methodology of Prehistory after Professor’s death. What all of these share is an attempt to find answers to questions about what is a “theory” in archaeology, what is its relationship with the practice of the discipline, the humanities and the intellectual world in general, as well as the role it played in the development of Polish archaeology in the past few decades

Get PDFIt is commonly assumed that landscape studies is a foreign development to Polish archaeology. The idea of landscape is strongly associated with British school of thoughts, while Central European settlement studies are regarded as deeply rooted in German tradition of Siedlungsarchäologie. However, an insight into their origins in Poland reveals a completely different picture. Concepts of landscape were lively debated among geographers and historians in the pre-war period within the frameworks of the then dominant theories of anthropogeography and evolutionism. This led to the development of a school of thought known as historical geography one of whose basic aims was to reconstruct past cultural landscapes through settlement studies. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that theoretical and methodological frameworks of settlement archaeology, which were established in the 1960s and 1970s, sprang from historical geography and initially also aimed towards reconstruction of prehistoric landscapes. Polish cases will be then compared and contrasted with contemporary British and German traditions. This will help determine at which points these traditions differ, what may be the reason for those differences and what can we learn from these pre-war developments
