Anthracological data as evidence of cultural distinctions in wood usage by communities from the Western Baltic cultural circle in Poland
A bifid mandibular condyle from a cremation grave from Paprotki Kolonia cemetery, Poland
This study investigates the etiology of a bifid mandibular condyle found in a Bogaczewo culture cremation burial from the Paprotki Kolonia site 1. Using macroscopic analysis and CT imaging, we identified a sagittal separation of the mandibular condyle, suggesting a developmental origin. This represents the first known case of a bifid mandibular condyle from an Iron Age cremation context. Analytical potential is limited due to the preservation of …
Sociodemographic and behavioral factors associated with controlled hypertension after 9 years of observation of a Pure Poland cohort study
Introduction: Despite some improvement in awareness and treatment of hypertension, blood pressure control is still below expectations in Poland. The aim of the study was to analyze the secular trend of hypertension prevalence in the PURE Poland cohort study over 9 years of observation and to analyze factors associated with controlled HT. Methods: The study group consisted of 1,598 participants enrolled in a Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiolog…
Sacred Hill (Święta Góra) in the Masurian Lakedland. An early Medieval Hillfort or a Military Camp from the Middle of the 17th Century
Stanowisko określane jako Święta Góra znajduje się na Pojezierzu Mazurskim. Zajmuje ono młodoglacjal ne wyniesienie, ograniczone od wschodu i południa doliną rzeki Staświnki, a od zachodu rynną jeziora Wojnowo. Od północy wyniesienie to zamyka sztuczny wał odcinkowy. Do II wojny światowej wykopaliska prowadzili tu: H. Lorek (1881 r.), H.K. Hess von Wichdorff (1922– 1923 r.). Kolejne prace wykopaliskowe miały miejsce w 2005 r. i w latach 2011–2013…
Changes in diabetes prevalence and corresponding risk factors - findings from 3- and 6-year follow-up of Pure Poland cohort study
Our study reveals alarming increase in prevalence of diabetes during 6 years of observation. In our population, most diabetes cases can be attributed to overweight, obesity, hypertension and IFG. Findings add strong rationale to implement targeted preventive measures in population of high risk
Robbery or Ritual Activities? Searching for a Reinterpretation and Genesis of the ‘Robbed Barrows’ of Sudovian Culture
One peculiarity of the Suwalska Group of Sudovian culture is the very large number of barrows with destroyed inhumation graves. Since the 1950s, this fact has been interpreted as the result of the robbery of grave goods, which took place in late Antiquity. Common features in the ‘robbed graves’ observed in cemeteries at Osowa site I, and the villages of Szwajcaria and Żywa Woda, were: 1) the concavity of the top of the barrow and the lack of ston…
Landscapes of Cemeteries from the Roman and Migration Periods in the Masurian Lakeland (Northeast Poland)
The article discusses the question of palaeolandscapes of cemeteries from the Roman Period and the Migration Period in the area of the Masurian Lakeland. The primary purpose of the multidisciplinary study was to answer the questions: 1) whether the natural features of the palaeolandscape were important for the choice of location for a cemetery; and 2) whether the inside landscapes of cemeteries were consciously shaped and lasted long. An analysis…
The environmental and cultural contexts of the late Iron Age and medieval settlement in the Mazurian Lake District, NE Poland
Pollen analysis of sediments from three lakes and analysis of plant macroremains including charcoal from archaeological sites in the Mazurian Lake District provide new data for the reconstruction of vegetation changes related to human activity between the 1st and 13th century AD. At that time settlements of the Bogaczewo culture (from the turn of the 1st century AD to the first part of the 5th century AD), the Olsztyn Group (second part of the 5t…
On the Road to the Other World. Plants in the Burial Rites of Bogaczewo Culture (Roman Period, northeast Poland)
Charred microscopic plant remains, other than charcoal, uncovered in the contents of grave pits, provide information on the use of plants as grave goods and other aspects of the burial rite, as well as on the taxonomic composition of the plant cover of the cemetery and the landscape around it. This paper presents the results of an analysis and interpretation of such eco-facts from the Bogaczewo culture cemetery at Paprotki Kolonia site 1 in the M…
