Investigating the Provenance and Manufacturing Technology of Medieval Mace Heads from Poland
A mace is a butt weapon that is composed of a metal head that is mounted on a wooden haft. The paper deals with the origins of medieval mace heads that were discovered in Polish lands; these have been a subject of debate since they were first discovered there. In previous research, only form and decoration were used to determine the provenance of these artefacts. A technological analysis (ED-XRF, SEM) and provenance analysis of the raw material u…
Evidence for long-distance contacts at the turn of eras
Located in the North European Plain and the heart of the Polish lands, the historic region of Kuyavia has long been an area where cultural communication and trade routes criss-crossed. This geographical characteristic had transformative effects on the region’s inhabitants of the Pre-Roman and Roman Iron Age, known as the Przeworsk culture. The attributes of a prehistoric society flourishing in a region of peripheral cross-roads are particularly m…
Where did the ore come from? Pb isotope provenance of a Pre-Columbian speiss/matte fragment from the Metallurgist’s Burial at Castillo de Huarmey (Peru)
Tin–Lead Sewn Tokens From 13th‐Century Gdańsk
This study presents the results of an interdisciplinary investigation of 98 tin–lead sewn tokens from 13th‐century Gdańsk, the largest assemblage of its kind in Central Europe. Combining archaeological context, typology, SEM‐EDS and lead isotope analysis, the research explores provenance, production and function. Seven iconographic types were identified. Alloy compositions vary by type, indicating variation by type, reflecting batch‐related trend…
Tracing the origins
First lead isotope analyses of early medieval lead ingots and ornaments from Great Moravian sites. • Provenance data indicate links with ore deposits of Upper Silesia and the Kraków Upland in southern Poland. • Data support the exploitation of these ore districts in the late 9th–10th c. • Lead ingot masses correspond to a Carolingian weight system of 408 g to the pound. • Results demonstrate long-distance metal exchange networks within the Great …
Technological Insights into Early Medieval Slavic Lead-Glazed Pottery
This study examines the technological development and material composition of glazed pottery from Lesser Poland, highlighting two distinct glazing horizons spanning the 11th to 13th centuries. Employing analytical methods, including lead isotope analysis (MC-ICP-MS), SEM-EDS, and pXRD, the research establishes a connection between early glazing practices and regional polymetallic ore deposits from Upper Silesia. The findings reveal a significant …
A Glazed Easter Egg Rattle from a Grave in the Cemetery in Kołoząb. Technological Features and Lead Provenance
The article presents the results of interdisciplinary research on a glazed Easter egg rattle discovered at an early medieval cemetery in Kołoząb, northern Mazovia. Although not the first find of its kind in the region, the artifact significantly contributes to the existing knowledge of such objects in Polish territories. Technological and chemical analyses (CT, XRF, SEM-EDS, and lead isotope analysis) allowed for a detailed characterization of it…
‘You Load Sixteen Tons, What Do You Get?’. The Jodłowno Hoard (Pomerania, Poland) as Evidence of Long‐Distance Contacts in the Early Iron Age
This study presents multifaceted analyses of metal artefacts from the Jodłowno Hoard (Northern Poland), revealing that the metal originated from Iberian polymetallic ore deposits. Transported as raw ingots via Atlantic maritime routes, this copper was reworked locally into regionally distinctive forms. Elemental classification identified deliberate deposition patterns based on metallurgical properties, with artefacts wrapped together using lime b…
Local and non-local metal supply strategies in the Early Iron Age. Case study
During the Early Iron Age (750–450 BC), settlement centres emerged in western Poland, playing a significant socio-economic role in local development. The fortified settlement of Wicina (Żary County, Lubusz Voivodeship) in western Poland, is an exemplar of such a regional center, strategically positioned on a natural dune above a marshland. In this study, we use archaeometallurgical analyses to shed light on the role of this settlement in the supr…
Origins of medieval lead glass ornaments in Central Europe in the light of lead isotopic analysis of finds from Wrocław and Sypniewo (Poland)
The first isotopic evidence of Early Iron Age lead ore exploitation in the Silesian‐Krakow upland, Poland
The Bronze and Early Iron Ages witnessed a significant increase in trade relations driven by the search for valuable metals. This paper presents new insights into the use of galena from the Silesia and Krakow Upland region in southern Poland, known as the ‘Olkusz ore deposits’, within the context of metal ores in prehistoric Europe. Eleven lead‐based ornaments from Lusatian Urnfield Culture cemeteries were examined using lead isotope analysis. Th…
Determination of the origin of lead objects from Risan and Riječani (Montenegro) based on lead isotope analysis
Iron age metal trade between the Atlantic and the Baltic Sea
Metallurgy in first-millennium BC Poland
Multidisciplinary methods permit the first archaeometallurgical study of artefacts from five key first-millennium BC settlements in Poland: Grzybiany, Wicina, Kamieniec, Tarławki and Mołtajny. This project fills a lacuna in our understanding of technical ceramics, metal provenance and the role of settlements in the cultural landscape
