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…
Rethinking Miniature Axes
This article presents five newly discovered miniature axe amulets from Bács-Kiskun County in the Carpathian Basin, significantly expanding the known corpus of such objects in Central and Eastern Europe. With a total of eighteen examples now documented from Hungary, including a notable concentration in the southern Great Plain, these finds invite a critical reassessment of existing interpretations. Traditionally linked to the Rus’ cultural sphere …
Włócznia i sztandar — para znana, jak dotąd niewidziana. Grot włóczni z pozostałościami tkanin z Nowego Chorowa (pow. słupski)
W trakcie wykopalisk cmentarzyska kurhanowego w Nowym Chorowie, woj. pomorskie, w grobie datowanym na XI w. odkryto grot broni drzewcowej z pozostałościami tekstyliów. Ich analiza technologiczno-surowcowa pozwoliła na wyróżnienie dwóch tkanin. Obie wykonano w splocie płóciennym, prawdopodobnie z wełny owczej. Obie tkane były w niekonwencjonalny sposób. Pierwsza (delikatna) tkanina, stanowi zapewne pozostałość chusty, którą okryto głowę zmarłego. …
The Battle of Gniew Unearthed
Recent archaeological research at the early medieval site complex in Ciepłe, Pomerania, has uncovered unexpected evidence of events from the 1620s. Although the area has long been known for its three strongholds, the discovery of seventeenth-century fortification remains came as a surprise. Historical accounts and previous studies had documented the presence of human remains and medieval artifacts, but the recent excavation in 2023–24 provided ne…
Multidisciplinary study provides insight into archaeological context and environmental background of short-lived stronghold of Obłęże (Pomerania, Poland)
The early medieval settlement complex in Obłęże, situated along the Wieprza River, represents a unique archaeological site in Central Pomerania, distinguished by its well-preserved wooden structures and short period of occupation. This article presents the findings of a 2021 excavation, preceded by non-invasive geophysical surveys that accurately identified key excavation areas. The research uncovered remains of a wooden rampart, a wharf, and a s…
Reassessing early medieval strongholds with minimal invasive methods
Ciepłe revisited
New research at Ciepłe, a unique early-medieval centre in northern Poland, reveals a Piast-era complex with three strongholds, elite chamber graves and far-reaching connections. Founded in the late tenth century AD, Ciepłe challenges traditional models of Pomeranian integration, offering fresh perspectives on early medieval state formation, frontier strategy and cross-cultural interactions
Nowy Chorów Project
In 2022, a project was initiated to investigate the cemetery at Nowy Chorów, northern Poland, with Orzeszkowo-type (rectangular) burial mounds. During the excavations, both inhumation and cremation graves were uncovered, along with elements of elite grave goods and evidence of the reopening of the graves
Spatial Use and Structure of Fortifications of the Early Medieval Stronghold at Pasym in the Masurian Lakeland
The stronghold at Pasym is located on an extensive peninsula surrounded by the waters of Lake Kalwa in the southern part of the Olsztyn Lakeland. During the recent investigations in the stronghold, archaeologists discovered relics of residential buildings andevidence of a complex system of stronghold fortifications, which is the main issue discussed in this article.

Equestrian Equipment and Horse Harness from Ciepłe in Northern Poland in the Light of Archaeometallurgical Examinations
Archaeological investigations carried out at the early medieval cemetery in Ciepłe in northern Poland have yielded arms and equestrian equipment deposited in chamber graves belonging to the local elite. This study is based on elements of equestrian equipment and horse harness which were found in graves 35, 42 and 43. Based on the few metallographic analyses of European iron spurs, stirrups and bits dated between the 10th and 11th centuries, it ma…
Touchstones from Early Medieval chamber graves in Ciepłe, Eastern Pomerania
The precious metals of the early medieval period were the same as those of today. Knowing their purity was essential, which means that assaying and refining were of great importance. Touchstones have been used to assess the quality of precious metals since antiquity. Stone artefacts initially identified as whetstones were unearthed in two of the most prestigious chamber graves discovered at the cemetery in Ciepłe. Traces of precious and non-ferro…
Nowy element układanki. Wczesnośredniowieczne grodzisko w Bornitach koło Pieniężna
In 2016, new remains of a stronghold in Northeastern Poland (Bornity, district Braniewo) was discovered. In a small area near Kierpajny Wielkie village, a quarter of an early Abbāsid dirham, a bronze spur, and a piece of ring of the Perm/Glazow/Duesminde type were found. Subsequent survey and excavations brought about interesting results. An analysis of the artefacts and the results of radiocarbon dating of charred wood used in the rampart constr…
Report on the excavation at the settlement of “Round Hill” in Pasym, Szczytno district, site 1, in 2018
In 2018, excavations at the stronghold in Pasym in the Szczytno district continued (Figure 1). They were mainly concentrated on the area within the stronghold. Three excavations were carried out (Figure 2). Trench 1 (15 × 5 m) was situated in the western part on the extension south of Trench 1 from 2017. Excavation 2 (5 × 5 m) was located in the north-west part of the stronghold, on the slope descending towards the lake. Trench 3 (2 × 2 m) was lo…
Recent Developments in the Archaeology of the Pomeranian-Prussian borderland in the Early Middle Ages. The case of the settlement complex in Węgry, northern Poland
Between the late 8th and the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, the territories east of the lower Vistula valley represented a borderland between eastern Pomerania and Prussia. The frontier area was generally uninhabited at least until the turn of the 8th and 9th centuries, when colonization from both sides (Pomeranian and Prussian) started. Significant changes in the colonization of the investigated area may be dated back to the 11th century, …
Report on archaeological excavations on the so-called “Round Mountain” in Pasym, Szczytno district, site 1, in 2017
In 2017, the excavation of the fortifications in Pasym, Szczytno district, was continued. During this time three trenches were excavated (Figure 2). Trench 1/2017 (measuring 15 x 5 m) was laid out in the western part of the fortification, partly on the edge, partly on the slope descending from the west towards the lake. Trench 2/2017 (measuring 15 x 5 m) was located on the eastern slope of the fortification. Trench 3/2017 (measuring 5 x 5 m) was …
The report of excavations at the „Okrągła góra“ hillfort in Pasym, Szczytno Countyin 2016
The stronghold is located 1.5 km north-west of Pasym. It is situated on a peninsula called Ostrów within Lake Kalwa. Numerous artefacts were recovered during the course of the excavations: nearly 9000 fragments of pottery, over 16,000 animal remains, as well as numerous objects that can be dated to the younger Stone Age / early Bronze Age (e.g. a stone axe) or the early Iron Age (a fragment of a bronze knife ), whilst the vast majority of materia…

Ankstyvųjų Viduramžių Makarovo 2 tipo miniatiūriniai kirviai Baltijos jūros regione
Artefacts which are miniatures of regular size objects met a thorough interest in the archaeological literature. Unsurprisingly, several attempts to interpret phenomenon of the miniature axes have already been made (see. eg. Kucypera, Pranke, Wadyl, 2010 a; Kucypera, Pranke, Wadyl, 2010 b; Wołoszyn, 2006; Panasiewicz, Wołoszyn, 2002; Zemītis, 1998; Koktvedgaard Zeitzen, 1997; Golubeva, 1997; Makarov, 1992; Darkevič, 1961; Paulsen, 1956; Paulsen, …
