An early medieval hoard at Włynkowo
In the subject literature, the prevalent opinion is that in the local environment of Pomerania in the 11 th century, coins imitating Western European coins were manufactured. This conclusion was based on a discovery made in 1888 in Łupawa near Słupsk. In that location, a several-thousand-specimens large coin assemblage was found; together with silver clumps, bars, and adornments, they were deposited in the final decades of the 11 th century. The …
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…
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
Stan i potrzeby badań nad Rowokołem
Tekst podejmuje problematykę stanu badań nad przestrzenią osadniczą znajdującą się na górze Rowokół. Tworzą ją domniemane grodzisko znajdujące się na szczycie góry, oraz grodzisko ulokowane na jej wschodnich zboczach. W okresie późnego średniowiecza na szczycie znajdował się kościół oraz cmentarz. Tekst wskazuje na podkreślane przez badaczy niedostatki w rozpoznaniu terenowym stanowisk oraz analizie materiałów zabytkowych. Dodatkowo skłania do re…
Zważyć sacrum? Uwagi nad metodami badań wczesnośredniowiecznych masek z Opola
Prezentowany szkic stanowi głos w dyskusji na temat dwóch drewnianych masek z Opola, będących w ostatnim czasie przedmiotem zainteresowania Kamila Kajkowskiego (2021). Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przede wszystkim zwrócenie uwagi na sposoby badania i budowania interpretacji źródeł archeologicznych w kontekście poznania przedchrześcijańskich wierzeń tradycyjnych oraz rekonstruowania elementów obrzędowych związanych z tym systemem.

Horses in the Early Medieval (10th–13th c.) Religious Rituals of Slavs in Polish Areas—An Archaeozoological, Archaeological and Historical Overview
Knowledge about horses from early medieval (10th–13th c.) Poland has been largely based on historical and archaeological data. Archaeozoological information has only been used to a limited extent. Therefore, this article aims to present the current state of knowledge on this subject, drawing on archaeozoological data from studies of horse bones. Apart from confirming earlier reflections regarding the sacred significance of the horse, additional i…
Przestrzeń sakralna i komunikacyjna w studiach osadniczych nad wczesnym średniowieczem. Uwagi wstępne
Badania nad wymiarem sakralnym procesów osadniczych mają w nauce polskiej dość długą tradycję. Nowocześnie pojęte studia osadnicze powinny obejmować całość zjawisk przestrzennych odzwierciedlających różne kategorie aktywności ludzkiej w środowisku przyrodniczym, które związane są przede wszystkim z zasiedlaniem, gospodarką, komunikacją i sferą duchową. Aspekt sakralny bywa coraz częściej uwzględniany w analizach wczesnośredniowiecznego osadnictwa…

Comparative analysis of early medieval anthropomorphic wooden figurines from Poland. Representations of gods, deceased or ritual objects
Miniature anthropomorphic images, due to their unique character, have attracted the attention of archaeologists for a very long time. This text analyses the forms, significance and functions of items coming from the early Middle Ages, which were discovered in the area of Poland. The set of wooden objects is diverse in terms of form and probably also in terms of meaning. The biggest number of artefacts come from Pomerania, but some of them were fo…
A unique find of a silver cross-shaped earring from an early medieval settlement at Szemud, site 4, in Eastern Pomerania, Poland
This paper presents the results of an analysis of archaeological material recovered in 2014 during the rescue excavations at site 4 in the Szemud locality, in the Eastern Pomerania region of Poland. The investigations revealed a small fragment of an open settlement from the early medieval period with especially interesting materials. Besides a large amount of pottery dating the site to the eleventh century, a collection of metal artefacts was dis…
