Zooming in and out the outcomes of geophysical research at the Western Tripolye culture site Kamenets-Podolskiy (Tatarysky)
This paper reports the results of magnetic surveys contextualized with the landscape via water drainage analysis, and summarizes the results of excavations at the Cucuteni-Tripolye settlement Kamenets-Podolskiy (Tatarysky), 3950–3900 BCE. Incorporation of topographic information and water drainage analysis to the studies of settlement structures revealed by magnetometry makes it possible to understand how such features function and, therefore, th…
Geophysical prospecting in Egypt and Sudan
Cemetery surveys verified site plans and aided in planning future excavations, Urban surveys clarified layouts and revealed previously unknown site features

Landscapes through Time
A Multifaceted Spatial Analysis of Tomb Distribution in Blemmyan Berenike (Eastern Desert of Egypt)
This study examines the spatial and visual organisation of tombs in the post–Roman Berenike located in Egypt's Eastern Desert. Archaeological surveys, remote sensing, geophysical methods, excavations and GIS‐based analyses are used for a comprehensive understanding of the spatial patterns and cultural significance behind the positions and layouts of 865 tumuli and 13 chamber tombs associated with the Blemmyes, an indigenous Eastern Desert people.…
New evidence from the late Predynastic to Late Period cemetery at Tarkhan, Egypt
Tarkhan is a cemetery in Egypt’s Nile Valley, best known for its pivotal late Predynastic and Early Dynastic remains. Despite its importance for understanding state formation in Egypt, the site saw limited modern investigation until 2024, when a new Egyptian-Polish archaeological project was launched to provide a reassessment of Tarkhan

Nadprzyrodzoność a wyzwolenie człowieka. Wokół związków religii i emancypacji w pismach Stanisława Brzozowskiego
The article characterizes two different variants of the relationship between religion and emancipation that appear in Stanisław Brzozowski’s writings. A comparison of the two articles (Religia i społeczeństwo [Religion and Society] and Alfred Loisy i zagadnienia modernizmu katolickiego [Alfred Loisy and the Issues of Catholic Modernism]), written over a period of only three years, leads to the conclusion that the radical change in the philosopher…
Expanding our Data from the Old-Middle Kingdom Western Delta
The Kom el-Hisn Provincialism Project (KHPP) began new excavations at the site of Kom el-Hisn, Baheira governorate in 2016. Our work specifically targets the Old–Middle Kingdom settlement remains with the aim of studying the activities and population of the site’s late third/early second millennium inhabitants from a local, bottom-up perspective. Previous understandings of the kom have interpreted it as part of a centralized government system. In…
Geophysical Research in the Pyramids Area
The article discusses research carried out using the magnetic method, in an area of necropolises located between Giza and the Fayum Oasis in Egypt. It describes the enormous progress which took place over the 40 years that have passed since the first magnetic research was conducted there. Progress was made in, among others, the methodology of measurements, processing and visual presentation of data. The method’s high efficiency in registering arc…

Shedding light on the Sudanese Dark Ages
The article presents the results of magnetic and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) research carried out in Old Dongola in northern Sudan in 2018 and 2020, within the framework of a project designed to investigate the transition from Christianity to Islam taking place in the capital of the Nubian kingdom of Makuria. The integrated datasets from the application of two geophysical methods, of which one is the standard magnetic method used on sites in t…
An integrated geophysical and archaeological approach to the study of the Late Medieval castle in Żelechów in Mazovia, Poland
In this paper, we present the results of the 2016–2019 study of the residence of the noble Ciołek family, in Żelechów (Mazovia, eastern Poland). The complex, located on a marshy and overgrown terrain, was recently discovered through the Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data analysis. The site was surveyed using three geophysical methods: magnetometry (fluxgate gradiometer); electrical resistivity (two level twin‐probe profiling); ground‐penetrating …

Problématique et bilan des principaux résultats Situées à la marge/frontière occidentale de l’Égypte, les deux bourgades de Plinthine et Taposiris ont chacune connu des occupations longues et multiformes, Plinthine du Nouvel Empire à l’époque hellénistique, Taposiris prenant le relai jusqu’aux lendemains de la conquête arabe. Depuis 2012, la mission française de Taposiris Magna et Plinthine se concentre sur l’étude
Gourob (2019)
Dans le cadre de cette troisième campagne, le travail sur le terrain (pl. 1) a été réparti entre : Des travaux archéologiques dans les zones à l’est, dites du « fort » et de la « jetée », dans le palais, dans la zone des fours, dans les tombes au nord et à l’est du « fort » ainsi qu’à l’est de la zone des fours. Ils ont été complétés par une étude anthropologique sur les ossements provenant des sépultures
Magnetic Gradient and Electrical Resistivity Tomography Surveys in Meroe, the Capital City of the Kush Kingdom, Sudan
One of the most important archaeological sites in Sudan is Meroe, capital city of the kingdom of Kush (800 bc to ad 400). The site is located in the Nile valley, about 200 km northeast of Khartoum. The most prominent feature among the ruins of Meroe is the Royal City: a stone‐walled enclosure containing remains of palaces, governmental buildings and temples. The current study presents the results of integrated magnetic gradient and electrical res…
Confirmation of the first Neolithic rondel-type enclosure in Poland
The early Neolithic rondel is a large curvilinear ditched and palisaded enclosure found in increasing numbers in Central Europe. It has close links with the tells of the Danube region, themselves highly suggestive instruments of the earliest Neolithic. Here the authors extend the distribution of rondels further to the north-east, with the discovery and verification of the first example in Poland. As they point out, it is aerial photography that m…

Magnetic survey of the Late Period grate temple enclosure in Tell el-Balamun, Egypt
Tell el-Balamun lies at the northern edge of the Delta, close to where the eastern branch of the Nile empties into the Mediterranean and it was the northernmost town of Pharaonic Egypt. Explored on and off in the early 20th century and the 1970s, it has been since 1991 the object of investigation by an expedition led by J.A.Spencer and sponsored by the British Museum. Work has focused on a temple complex surrounded by enclosure walls in the south…
Geophysical surveying in Egypt
Recent research in Egypt has demonstrated pointedly the magnetic method’s uses both in the early recognition of a site prior to full-scale excavations and in data collection for better planning of ongoing explorations. The electrical resistivity method has seen much broader use than before. The present article is concerned with the author’s work in 2007 and 2008, reports on earlier results having been presented at conferences in Vienna (Herbich ,…
Results of the magnetic survey at Deir al‐Barsha, Egypt
The site of Deir al‐Barsha (Middle Egypt) is well known for its nomarchal rock tombs cut in the cliffs and dating to the Middle Kingdom (2040–1640 BC ), but the presence of a necropolis of the same date in the sandy gravel desert plain was seldom mentioned in the past. Part of this necropolis had been investigated at the beginning of the twentieth century, but no plans or detailed accounts were ever published. The tombs were observed then to be s…
Multilevel resistivity prospecting of architectural remains
A survey at Rheinmunster–Schwarzach was carried out during extended research of the medieval monastic complexes of Baden-Wurttenmberg, southern Germany. The excavation of building foundations connected with the church was an aim of the survey. Previous knowledge of the buried remains was based on the results of the few trial pits and a study of written sources. The resistivity method was applied. A preliminary survey using the twin-probe array (1…
