A jewel worthy of a duke from the moat of Castle Kolno
Medieval elite culture is often difficult to grasp among archaeological records from settlement sites. A silver-gilt amethyst setting, probably part of a brooch, from the moat of Castle Kolno in Poland represents an unusual high-status find from a context related to everyday activity
Rock Painting Within Southern Peru in the Context of Physicochemical Analysis of Pigments
The article pertains to rock paintings recorded during studies conducted in 2017 and 2019 by an international archaeological expedition at numerous sheltered sites in the Río Atico basin and Vilavilani region in the Río Caplina catchment area within southern Peru. During the research, archaeological sites with rock art were registered, the state of preservation of the paintings was documented, and it was determined what factors were causing their…
Skarb z Paszowic, woj. dolnośląskie. Analiza śladów produkcji i (nie)używania
Odkryty w 2015 r. skarb z Paszowic zawiera w swoim inwentarzu gotowe wyroby, takie jak siekiery, sierpy, grot, ozdoby, surowiec, w różnych stadiach produkcji, a także elementy będące pozostałościami po procesie odlewniczym. Przeprowadzone badania składu chemicznego (SEM-EDS) oraz analizy śladów obecnych na przedmiotach pozwoliły na określenie rodzajów zastosowanego stopu odlewniczego oraz identyfikację sposobów produkcji metalurgicznej. Obserwacj…
New find of a Mesolithic antler axe from western Poland
In 2017, a man fishing in the Oder River accidentally discovered an antler-base axe in the village of Domaszków, Lower Silesian Voivodeship. In-depth study of the axe included analysis of the traces on its surface, radiocarbon dating and paleogenetic analysis, and concluded with the tool’s conservation. Most of the traces casting light on the techniques used in its crafting had been eroded by intensive water action. The axe was made from the unsh…
Non-invasive Archaeometric Studies of Metal Threads with Silk Core Coming from Two Kontush Sashes from the Szczuczyn Excavations in Poland
A kontush sash belonged to costly accessories of ceremonial clothes of Polish nobility. It is a belt made of leather, metal or soft textile, called a sash from the 18th century. In the 2nd half of the 17th century, there was a change in manufacturing technique and ornamentation compositions, and sashes adorned with metal threads appeared. Persian and Turkish belts were the most popular. They have been excavated as burial equipment at archaeologic…
What is hidden underneath the black and brown on Silesian glassware? About the archaeometric challenge in the study of painted decorations on late-medieval and post-medieval finds from Wrocław, SW of …
At the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the post-medieval period, painted glass vessels were not uncommon and are found during archaeological excavations, especially in urban sites. In the first quarter of the 21st century in WrocÅ aw, a considerable collection of painted glassware was obtained during excavations: some of these artefacts were characterised by multicoloured painted decorations, while others seemed to be made using a mod…
The second hoard from Strzelce Krajeńskie (2014) – preliminary studies and metal analyses of selected coins
The second hoard from Strzelce Krajeńskie was discovered in 2014. The assemblage consists of at least 1948 coins. The article presents the interdisciplinary study of 109 of these coins. Apart from all Prague groschen, wittens, hellers and Jagiellonian pennies also 10 Brandenburg and 70 West Pomeranian pennies were loaned for this project by the museum where the assemblage is housed. Care was taken to select the most statistically representative s…
The Late Bronze Age 'metallurgists' graves’ in south-western Poland. Tracing the provenance of the metal raw material using casting moulds
A collection of objects associated with prehistoric metallurgy, including casting moulds, a casting core, and a fragment of a tuyere, were found in three metallurgists’ graves in the Late Bronze Age cemetery in Legnica, south-west Poland. The finds from these graves presented an opportunity for a scientific investigation of several aspects of Bronze Age metallurgy in this region by applying various analytical procedures to characterise the remain…
Same but different. Composition, production and use of bronze arrowheads from the Late Bronze Age deposit from Wrocław-Widawa in SW Poland
A unique early medieval pendant (kaptorga) from Opole Groszowice (Silesia, SW Poland) in the light of interdisciplinary archaeometric studies
Finds of early medieval pendants, known as kaptorgas, are not common in Poland. For this reason, the kaptorga found in 1957 in Opole (Silesia), in southwest Poland, is all the more interesting. The artefact is housed in a museum, and on the occasion of its re-conservation, permission to conduct archaeometric studies was given. The kaptorga was subjected to analyses using nondestructive and minimally invasive techniques. Elemental tests with energ…
Influence of conservation of copper and bronze artefacts on traces of production and use-wear
More Bronze Age less bronze
A Late Bronze Age hoard from Karmin, Poland, contained 16 socketed axes, half of which were made of copper. The copper axes represent the same local type as the bronze objects and bear the same traces of manufacturing and use. The authors argue that the move to copper was a response to unexpected difficulties in the tin supply
Sickles of the Funnel Beaker culture in the light of use-wear and residue analysis
The aim of this paper is to present new data on the use of plants and on flint management by Funnel Beakersocieties. Studies of usewear and residues on flint tools from the Polwica-Skrzypnik site complex located in SW Poland included microscopic analyses of traces, starch and phytoliths, and adhesives. According to the usewear analysis, most of the tools were used as sickle inserts. The production of sickles was mainly based on goodquality import…
Beeswax remnants, phase and major element chemical composition of the bronze age mould from Gaj Oławski (SW Poland)
The recently found metal casting mould from Gaj Oławski (SW Poland) was designed for the production of socketed axes typical for later stages of the Bronze Age in Poland (ca. 1100-900 bc). This unique artefact is a half of a durable, two-piece wedge-shaped mould and measures 17.5 × 7.2 × 4.0 cm. The surface of the mould is covered copper oxides and carbonates, and the remnant of beeswax was found on its inner surface. The metal forming mould cons…
The Composition and Microstructural Variation of the Bronze Age Metal Ornaments from Lower Silesia (South-West Poland)
Metal ornaments from Únětice (Mierczyce, Tomice, Jordanów and Opatowice) and Urnfield culture (Szprotawa, Żarek and Wrocław Żerniki) sites in south-west Poland are made of bronze of varying composition, with the exception of the early Bronze Age Przecławice site, where the copper items are found in graves from stages III/IV. The combined XRF and electron microprobe study of 37 ornaments (mostly pins) shows that those excavated from Únětice cultur…
Functions and contexts of Bronze Age metal casting moulds from Poland
Les moules en métal, élaborés essentiellement en vue de produire un seul type d’artefact, constituent un groupe d’objets fascinant qui a été documenté dans beaucoup de régions de l’Europe à l’âge du Bronze. Bien qu’il existe des exemples de moules ayant été destinés à la fabrication de parures, l’usage de moules métalliques est très fortement lié à la production de haches. De plus, la plupart des moules ont été déposés intentionnellement dans des…
