A book by Pawe Duma which discusses profane death in pre-industrial times was published in 2019. Duma is not only a consistent, but also a successful author who does research into legal archaeology. He can be considered as such due to the fact that he is personally involved in archaeological excavations on sites of a specific category, and specifically medieval and modern public execution sites in Silesia. The level of research into this field, namely legal archaeology 1 in Poland would be erratic and apparently little advanced if it was not for achievements in this field by scholars, mainly from Silesia. Their research concentrates on the archaeology of execution sites in the Late Middle Ages and modern times. 2 To a much lesser degree the problem has been subject to research in Greater Poland, Pomerania 3 or other parts of Poland
