Locals or Foreigners? The Phenomenon of Medieval Graves in Stone Settings in Mazovia (Poland) in the Light of the Results of Interdisciplinary Research
Medieval cemeteries with graves in stone settings from Mazovia (central-eastern Poland) have been a mystery for central European archaeology since the mid-19 th century. Attempts to verify the claim about the domestic or foreign origin of their users, made by standard methods, have so far proved unsatisfactory. To resolve this issue, the authors proposed an interdisciplinary approach. Archaeogenomic and stable isotopes analyses were performed to …

Byzantine or Western European inspirations? Monumental architecture on the borderlands
Chełm – located today on the Polish-Ukrainian border –for over a century has attracted the attention of numerous scholars. The town had been rebuilt by Daniel Romanovich, the Halych-Volhynian prince who was crowned in 1253 by Pope Innocent IV and recognized as the king of Ruthenia – which was an unusual event in medieval Europe. For here we have a ruler who belonged to the Orthodox Church accepting a papal crown and the Catholic faith. In such ci…
Fragments of a steatite icon (diptych wing) with the Great Feasts cycle excavated in Chełm (eastern Poland)
The paper presents fragments of a Byzantine icon discovered in 2015 during regular archaeological excavations carried out in Chełm, eastern Poland. Iconographic analyses allow the nine surviving fragments to be interpreted as belonging to a diptych wing with the Great Feasts cycle. The icon represents archaic iconography of the subject, with the scene of Transfiguration placed after Entry into Jerusalem and before the Crucifixion. The artefact wa…
Beyond Beauty. Byzantine steatite icon from Chełm. Archaeology, Petrography and Traceology
A fragmentarily preserved Byzantine icon made of steatite was discovered in 2015 during regular excavations in Chełm, eastern Poland. Identified as the left wing of a diptych illustrating the Twelve Great Feasts and created at the close of the 12 th century, the find is one of the most important and beautiful Byzantine artefacts to have been found in Poland. The icon was uncovered within the confines of the palace complex which was created by Dan…
Mauzoleum przekształcone w elitarny cmentarz? o początkach nekropoli w Bodzi
The elite cemetery in Bodzia (from the late 10th to the early 11th centuries) hosts the deceased of foreign and local origin who had a strong sense of ideological and ethno-cultural bonds. According to the results of the author’s latest research, a large tomb D162 played a pivotal role in the cemetery. It was originally built as a grave – a mausoleum with an entrance from the east. Over time, more graves with enclosures were added to the existing…
Chrześcijanie i poganie. O problemach interpretacji odkryć archeologicznych związanych z początkami chrześcijaństwa na ziemiach polskich
Mediaeval historians as well as archaeologists have been intrigued by the beginning of Christianity in Poland. The interest intensified in 2016 when the country celebrated the 1050th anniversary of the baptism of Poland. The accompanying discussions indicate that facing the ambiguous written sources, researchers still disagree about fundamental data like the year and the location of the baptism, its circumstances or material evidence of the event…
Bodzia
Bodzia is one of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries of the post-war period in Poland. It is one of the few cemeteries in Poland from the time of the origins of the Polish state. The unique character of this discovery is mainly due to the fact that a small, elite population was buried there. The burials there included people whose origins were connected with the Slavic, Nomadic-Khazarian and Scandinavian milieus. For the first time th…
The Archaeology of Early Medieval Poland
This is the first academic book which concentrates on the discoveries of medieval date (6th- 13th centuries) from the territory of modern Poland. The book covers the principal research questions, such as the origins of the Slavs, societies of the proto-state period and the origins of the Polish state. The volume also includes a discussion of the most interesting, sometimes controversial, archaeological discoveries or issues. These include pagan S…
Centre, Region, Periphery. Medieval Europe Basel 2002. Volume 1
The Medieval and Later Archaeology opens up different and diverse viewpoints about the development and problems of structures, which have disappeared or survived in all the modern centres and regions of Europe. Traditional areas were characterised by cultural, economic, religious, and ethnic factors. Archaeology is able to show the growth, the change or the disappearance of special zones and centres. This main theme is presented in six sections. …
The storvågan project 1985–86
The earliest urban settlement in the Arctic was Vågar in Lofoten. From written sources this settlement is known to have functioned as an economic, clerical and administrative centre of North Norway. But, the sources are silent after the end of the 14th century. Small scale excavations in 1985–86 produced a surprisingly rich material, which above all shows no decline during the Late Medieval. The finds seem to have the potential to provide a quite…
Problems and research prospects in the determination of the provenance of pottery
This study deals with main problems in the identification of clays and ceramics based on research into one site. The experience and results obtained in this study are used to formulate proposals for further research. An effective solution to the basic problem in this field requires the development of methods for identification of fabrics produced from the mixtures of various types of clay, and also for definition of the original raw clays
