Local or interregional exchange systems? A study of Estonian iron provenancing
The aim of this study is to address questions about the differences in chemical composition of iron smelting slag finds in Estonia. The chemical analyses of smelting slag will allow to establish a production regions reference dataset for further research. Currency blooms have been also included, of which some have been dated to the Estonian Viking Age (800–1050 AD) and the Late Iron Age (1050–1227 AD). The blooms are examined about their relation…
Origins of medieval lead glass ornaments in Central Europe in the light of lead isotopic analysis of finds from Wrocław and Sypniewo (Poland)
Mars and Mercury. A golden wolf from Western Poland – a mysterious find
The paper discusses a mysterious zoomorphic wolf-shaped copper alloy artefact that was discovered as a stray find in Międzyrzecz (Poland). The find is bar-like with a profiled engraved image of a lying animal, possibly a wolf. It is locally gilded on the visible side of “wolf” details. The gilding was made using an amalgam technique known since Antiquity, with the base metal composed of arsenical copper alloy with lead addition. A fixing element …
A PCA-AHC Approach to Provenance Studies of Non-Ferrous Metals with Combined Pb Isotope and Chemistry Data
This paper discusses the applicability of the Principal Component Analysis-Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (PCA-AHC) approach to provenance studies of non-ferrous metals using combined Pb isotope and chemistry data. Pb isotopic ratios were converted to the natural abundance of individual isotopes and then to weight units. Next, all relevant variables (Pb isotopes and trace elements) were processed with PCA and AHC to examine the relationshi…
Research on chemical soldering in early medieval jewellery
The aim of this paper is to discuss technological details of medieval jewellery on the basis of studies on five lunulas (the Obra Nowa hoard, Poland). The types of soldering which were applied in order to attach granules and wire to the artefact surface were studied with the use of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, micro‐Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Results confirmed the use o…
New Methods, New Opportunities. Recent Advances in Archaeological Science and their Application in Arms and Armour Studies
The jubilee of Professor Andrzej Nadolski and Professor Marian Głosek is an excellent opportunity for discussing some most recent methods of technological analyses in archaeology and their applications in arms and armour studies. New opportunities are offered by Computed Tomography (CT) and by Neutron Imaging (NI). The latter is insensitive to material density; therefore details that are not detectable by X-ray or CT can be seen in NI images. A c…
A Weapon from the Turn of the Epochs – A Unique Spatha from Lake Nidajno in Prussia
abiski 2016a; abiski 2016b. 2 Field inv. no. Cz-P55, cat. no. 1.1.1.4 in abiski 2016a and abiski 2016b. the Migration Period. The deposit was composed of over 400 artefacts made from iron and other metals, including precious ones. These were mostly ritually destroyed (burnt and bent or broken) spearheads, sword blades, mail, as well as numerous ornaments and fittings made of bronze, silver and gold. As far as the cultural pertinence of these find…
Weaponry of the Przeworsk Culture in the light of metallographic examinations. The case of the cemetery in Raczkowice
This paper discusses seven finds of weaponry (one sword and six spearheads) from the Roman Period Przeworsk Culture cremation cemetery in Raczkowice, Częstochowa Distr., PL. This assemblage can generally be dated to Phases B2–C1. All the discussed artefacts went through the funeral pyre and two underwent additional treatment as part of funeral rites: the sword and one of the spearheads were bent. Metallographic examinations demonstrated that all …
An Armour from a finery?-a late medieval couter from Ogrodzieniec Castle in the Kraków-Częstochowa Jura
The paper deals with a couter of a late fourteenth to early fifteenth century date which was found in Ogrodzieniec Castle, Zawiercie District, Poland (now in the collection of the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom, MG 7755). The find survived in a vestigial condition, but it was still possible to propose some typological analogies to it. Metallographic examinations demonstrated that the artefact had been manufactured from almost carbon-free iron wit…
Origin and Production of Silver in Early Medieval Poland
Modern archaeology makes use of analytical methods in order to answer questions about deposit and technological provenience of artefacts. This paper discusses selected and the most interesting, results obtained during the completion of a research project which focuses on silver from the 10th and 11th centuries in Poland. In total, 200 silver artefacts known from Polish hoards (found in Kalisz-Dobrzec, Nowa Obra, Wolsztyn District, Zalesie, Olszty…
Multi-classifier majority voting analyses in provenance studies on iron artefacts
The main objective of this paper is to propose an approach for identification of provenance of archaeological iron artefacts making use of major oxides and trace elements. For this purpose, seven classifiers were built on the basis of the following techniques: Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forests (RF), Naïve Bayes (NB), K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Recursive Partitioning and Regression Trees (RPART) and …
Archaeometric studies on early medieval silver jewellery from Central and Eastern Europe
Scanning electron microscopy with X-ray microanalyses (SEM-EDX) was used for a technological study of silver jewellery from three hoards found in Poland. The assemblage consists of 26 artefacts from the period of formation of the first Polish state (900–1039 AD) and can be divided into three groups: West Slavic, post-Moravian and Scandinavian. Research results provide information concerning techniques used for granulation ornament and the provena…
A silvered shield grip from the Roman Period
A unique shield grip decorated with openwork rivet plates was found in a Roman Period cemetery of the Przeworsk culture in Czersk, Central Poland. The artefact underwent specialist analyses with the use of various techniques in order to reveal its silvering technology. Several silvering techniques were considered as the most probable: foil silvering, mercury silvering and silver plating. A number of complementary analytical methods such as laser …

Material description of a unique relief fibula from Poland
A unique relief fibula dated to the Migration Period (first half of the sixth century) was found in Radziejów, Poland. This stray find changes previous opinions on the lack of settlement in central Poland at that time. As the find is the only one of such type in Poland, a special attention was paid to possible analogies, mainly finds from Scandinavia and Western Europe. The fibula underwent technological analyses in order to reveal its technology…
Not Only Barrels – Equipment for Firearms in the State of the Teutonic Order in Prussia
The study focuses on equipment for firearms in the state of the Teutonic Order in Prussia in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. The paper is chiefly based on written sources, both concerning the Order itself (mainly account books, inventories and visitation reports) and those related to Prussian towns (chiefly account books). In some cases relevant pieces of information could also be retrieved from narrative sources. For the sake of com…
