Revisiting the Lusatian culture stronghold at Gzin, Poland
A first toast in Kuyavia
Excavations at Sławęcinek in central Poland, have yielded evidence for the Neolithic Funnel Beaker Culture, concurrent with a sweeping set of changes that occurred across much of Europe in the mid-fourth millennium BC. A set of vessels containing collared flasks, ceramic glasses and a beaker were found, demonstrating that libations of lactose-reduced dairy beverages were performed between 3500–3350 BC. One of the vessels, a funnel beaker, feature…
A Late Bronze Age hoard from Elgiszewo reflects the complex interplay between bronzesmithing, metal hoarding and local identity
In 2014, a multi-type hoard of bronze metalwork was unearthed as a result of illegal metal detection on the peaty lakeshore in the village of Elgiszewo, north-central Poland. The hoard contains horse gear items, body and dress ornaments and other metal objects dating back to the Late Bronze Age, accompanied by casting mould and a Kannelurenstein that could have once formed part of a metalworker’s toolkit. This article presents and discusses the r…
The Kaliska II hoard
A metal hoard from Susz provides new evidence for the use of bast cordage during the Lusatian period in Poland
Bast cordage production and use during the Lusatian period in Poland. • The use of bast cordage as dress accessories in the North European Bronze Age. • Co-deposition of textiles and metal objects in the south Baltic region. Archaeological textiles and cordage from the 1st millennium BCE in Poland are relatively scarce. The majority of the available evidence has been preserved in a mineralised state or as imprints in association with metal and cl…
Lead isotopic compositions link copper axes from Kietrz (Poland, 3500–3350 BC) to Slovak and Balkan copper mines
Chemical and lead isotope analyses aided by metallographic examination of copper axes found at the Late Neolithic settlement of Kietrz in southwestern Poland provide new evidence for the origin of copper and metal trade routes in the region. Our results indicate that metal used for the axes could be sourced from copper mines in modern Slovakia, Bulgaria and perhaps Serbia. The evidence from this study confirms that the Funnel Beaker people from P…
Traceology suggests an unexpected use of antler cheekpieces from the Early Iron Age site at Gzin, Poland
Archaeological data confirm the widespread use of horse tack throughout the North European Bronze Age and the succeeding Hallstatt period in an inventory that included metal cheekpieces, phalerae, rein-knobs and other horse-related accessories. Similar usage has been assumed in the region of northern Poland, which has also furnished evidence for the use of horse gear accessories made of antler. This paper reports the results of traceological, iso…
Digital restoration and 3D visualisation of the early Neolithic pottery from Ryńsk, Poland
The archaeological site of Ryńsk in north-central Poland produced sound evidence of long-distance journeys of people and pottery from the 6th millennium BC in Central Europe by yielding a sophisticated ceramic footed bowl that can be traced to the Carpathian Basin region. Archaeology indicates that the earliest ceramic vessels had a different functional, social and ritual role, but it is difficult to convey information on the significant role of …
The Sacred Lake Project
In 2023, prospection of a dried-out lake near Papowo Biskupie in north-central Poland identified substantial deposits of bronze artefacts. Excavation revealed further deposits and dozens of human skeletons that date from 1000-400 BC, suggesting that the site held particular significance as a place for sacrificial offerings in the Lusatian culture
A Final Bronze Age hoard from Cierpice, Poland
Im Herbst 2020 entdeckte eine Gruppe von Detektorgängern auf einer bewaldeten Düne in der Nähe des Dorfes Cierpice in Nordzentralpolen 150 Bronzefunde. Der Fund umfasst Backenstücke, Phalerae, Rassel- und Terretringe sowie Zügelmanschetten mit Drahtgliedern, die einst Teil eines Pferdezaumzeugs aus der Endbronzezeit waren. Die Zaumzeugteile wurden zusammen mit einem Tüllenbeil in Pflanzenfasern eingewickelt und dann sorgfältig in einen organische…
The TRB burial site at Markowice, Poland
In 2018, excavations at Markowice in central Poland produced sound evidence for the uptake of the Baden Culture in the region: the remains of a young male interred with two cattle drawing a funerary sledge were unearthed, along with several other Funnel Beaker (TRB) inhumations that date to 3500-3100 BC
Lat później – neolit ziemi chełmińskiej w badaniach Zakładu Młodszej Epoki Kamienia
W latach 80. ubiegłego wieku w Instytucie Archeologii i Etnografii Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika rozpoczęto realizację programu badań nad neolitem ziemi chełmińskiej. Od samego początku był on trwale związany z projektem Archeologicznego Zdjęcia Polski. W wyniku podjętych prac na obszarze dawnego województwa toruńskiego zlokalizowano około 2500 stanowisk archeologicznych z młodszej epoki kamienia, z których około 120 przebadano metodą wykopalis…
Kaliska I
In the spring of 2017, amateur metal detectorists discovered a Late Bronze Age hoard near the village of Kaliska, Poland. Comprising over 120 artefacts, it is one of the most impressive Bronze Age finds within Pomerania. The authors discuss the hoard's contents and context, as well as its chronology
New evidence for deer valorisation by the TRB farmers from Poland using ZooMS and micro-CT scanning
Fire walk with me
In 2009, an exceptional discovery was made in west-central Poland. At the Late Bronze Age necropolis in Wartosław, tools used in metalworking were unearthed from a mass grave belonging to the Lusatian people that can be dated to 1100–900 BCE. Twelve out of over 70 ceramic vessels from the burial pit were identified as urns that contained the ashes of at least eight deceased individuals, including two adult men, one young woman, one unspecified ad…
Technologie i opowiadanie o przeszłości a wyzwania animacji kultury
12 marca 2020 roku sztab kryzysowy z udziałem ministra kultury i dziedzictwa narodowego wprowadził w Polsce lockdown. Dla większości instytucji był to początek aktywności w zupełnie innych warunkach i przymus redefinicji dotychczasowych działań. Przez blisko trzy miesiące instytucje kultury pozbawione możliwości normalnej, stacjonarnej pracy musiały się zmierzyć z wyzwaniem funkcjonowania on-line. Szybko okazało się, że retransmisje wydarzeń, prz…
Metalworking bricoleurs
At the beginning of 750 BC, the Urnfield world-system was about to collapse, bringing about many serious cultural changes in the region of Central Europe along with the atomization of local Lusatian communities from the territory that is today northern Poland. It was a time of growing social and political competition between the Lusatian power elites, which took different forms, including more or less open struggle for influence in the metal trad…
Exploring a non-existent city via historical GIS system by the example of the Jewish district 'Podzamcze' in Lublin (Poland)
Towards direct casting
This study reports the results of archaeometallurgical investigations performed on a complete two-part bronze casting mould discovered in the village of Elgiszewo (north Poland). The mould was part of the so-called Lusatian founder’s hoard deposited on the southern borders of the Chełmno group territory between 900 and 700 BC. The investigations involved the employment of spectral (ED XRF, SEM-EDS, X-ray)and microscopic (SEM-EDS, OM) analyses. Th…
The Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age metal hoards from the Chełmno land
Comparing Spatial-Interaction and Hybrid Agent-Based Modelling Approaches
Aggregated models, such as spatial interaction (SIM) models are widely used in location analysis. Despite their popularity, there are certain limitations to their use. In particular, the method struggles to account for the passing-by population and multi-purpose trips of retail clients, temporal changes in accessibility and some bottom-up processes potentially important for services. Agent-based modelling (ABM) is a promising technique that attem…
Back to the Eneolithic
For a long time, the Eneolithic attribution of the Rudki-type double spiral ornaments was contested by a wide academic audience, and therefore, this new and extraordinary category of the copper metalwork seemed to have fallen into scientific oblivion. In this paper, we contribute to the debate about cultural attribution of the Rudki-type double spiral ornaments considering their chemical and isotope characteristics (using ED XRF and MC-ICP-MS) an…
The Wrocław–Szczytniki flanged axe from Koperniki
This work is a contribution to archaeometallurgical studies on the Únětice axes in Poland. The research was initiated by a single find of the Wrocław–Szczytniki flanged axe recovered from the village of Koperniki (Lower Silesia, Poland). The axe was examined in terms of raw–material profile (ED–XRF) as well as its micro-, and macrostructure (OM). The spatial distribution, deposition context, and raw–material profiles of the remaining Únětice axes…
