New Early Bronze Age Metal Finds from Western Poland
In recent years, a significant number of hoards of metal objects and individual finds have been uncovered and dated to the early phases of the Bronze Age. According to Reinecke’s classification, these artifacts belong to phases A1–B1 (2300–1600 BCE). Although the discovery sites of some individual objects raise questions about their exact context, the available data regarding their locations clearly suggest that these sites were selected with spe…
Quantity matters. Studies on defensive settlements of the Hallstatt Period in Greater Poland
The issue of defensive settlement during the Hallstatt period (HaC-HaD) in the area of Greater Poland constitutes an important, although still insufficiently recognised, research topic. Given current research, 21 well-documented defensive sites are believed to have operated in the region at the beginning of the Iron Age. The article’s findings indicate that there has been a significant underestimation of the phenomenon’s scale. Pilot studies limi…
The Kaliska II hoard
Absolute Dates of Artifacts From Lusatian Urnfield Cemetery at Brzezie, Greater Poland
Brzezie in the Pleszew region was first mentioned in archaeological literature, as the location where a treasure of gold artifacts dating back to the 3rd period of the Bronze Age was discovered in 1876. Archaeological research has been conducted there almost continuously since 1985. The result of many years of fieldwork is the discovery of 363 late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age graves, as well as 50 burials of the Przeworsk culture from the era o…
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
Palaeoenvironmental conditions and human activity in the vicinity of the Grodzisko fortified settlement (central Europe, Poland) from the late‐Neolithic to the Roman period
We present results from a palaeoecological analysis conducted on deposits accumulated in an oxbow lake of the Prosna River (Poland), next to the Grodzisko fortified settlement. Palaeobotanical and geochemical analyses—supported by radiocarbon dating—were performed to (i) reconstruct palaeoenvironmental conditions of the oxbow lake and its surrounding area; (ii) determine the beginning of the human activity in the fortified settlement vicinity; an…
Late Glacial and early Holocene development of an oxbow lake in Central Europe (Poland) based on plant macrofossil and geochemical data
Sediments from an oxbow lake located in the Prosna River valley (Poland) were analysed to investigate the developmental history of the wetland ecosystem and any response to abrupt climatic changes. High resolution plant macrofossil analysis and radiocarbon dating were undertaken on two cores, with lower resolution geochemical analysis conducted on one of these cores. We provide evidence of a palaeolake with a late Glacial origin (older than 12,50…
The Early Iron Age Fortified Settlements in Wielkopolska (western Poland) ‒ past and present perspectives in archaeological research
In der Region Wielkopolska (Großpolen) befinden sich eine Reihe befestigter Siedlungen, die in die frühe Eisenzeit datieren und einzigartige Merkmale hinsichtlich ihrer Funktion, Genese und Chronologie aufweisen. Bedeutsam sind diese Siedlungsbefunde nicht nur im Blickwinkel der Vorgeschichte Polens, sondern auch im überregionalen Kontext. Die Deutung dieser Siedlungen, die bereits über längere Zeiträume im Mittelpunkt der Forschung standen und d…
