  • Old and new at Dąbrowa. Richly furnished Early Iron Age graves at a Lusatian culture cemetery in Wieluń district, central Poland

    Open AccessRadosław Janiak, Alicja Drozd-LipińskaARTICLESprawozdania Archeologiczne2025References: 7

    The Lusatian culture burial ground at Dąbrowa, Wieluń district, lies in the upper Warta River basin. Due to its location in the south-western part of central Poland, it accumulated imports from the Halstatt zone (bronze serpentine clasp, iron and bronze spearheads). This was evident in the inventories of two early Iron Age graves. Local artefacts were also discovered in the cemetery, which were imitations of imports (bronze clasps). This was demo…

  • Identification of demographic crises and evaluation of their intensity in the Kujawy region (Central Europe) in the 19th century

    Open AccessAlicja Drozd-Lipińska, Arkadiusz Bartczak et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Review2022References: 29

    Mortality crises are periods of unusually high mortality resulted from a combination of epidemic episodes, climatic phenomena, historical events and sociopolitical factors. The most pronounced setback in the methodology applied to analyse mortality rates of historical populations is the inability to establish their size. Reference publications do not provide unambiguous measures of the intensity and scale of mortality crisis periods. This problem…

  • Mass graves of plague and decapitation victims from late medieval and early modern cemetery in Gdańsk, Poland

    Joanna Jarzęcka-Stąporek, Alicja Drozd-LipińskaARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2022

    In the mid-fourteenth century a cemetery for the burial of the destitute, pilgrims and non-citizens of Gdańsk, Poland, was founded beyond the city walls. During epidemics, the local urban population was buried there in mass graves. Excavations in Gdańsk led to the discovery of four mass graves, the largest of which contained the remains of 759 people who were probably killed by the same plague. In addition to being used as a plague cemetery, this…

  • Social status and diet. Reconstruction of diet of individuals buried in some early medieval chamber graves from Poland by carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes analysis

    Open AccessDariusz Błaszczyk, Julia Beaumont et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2021Cited by: 5References: 7

    The study presents results of the investigations of diet based on carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of the bone collagen of individuals buried in medieval elite chamber graves from the territory of the state of the first Piasts, Poland (the second half of the 10th and the first half of the 11th century). The aim of the research was to determine the diet of individuals buried in such funerary structures, to compare this wit…

  • Analysis of maternal lineage structure of individuals from chamber graves placed in medieval cemetery in Kałdus, Central Poland

    Open AccessTomasz Płoszaj, Krystyna Jędrychowska-Dańska et al.ARTICLEHOMO2020

    century) has been widely debated in the context of an active demographic inflow from other countries and its contribution to the creation of the new country. Finding chamber graves which are considered typical for the Scandinavian ethnic group in a few cemeteries in Poland has become the basis for the anthropological inference on the potential participation of North European people in forming the social elite of medieval Poland. However, the ques…

  • Ancient DNA analysis might suggest external origin of individuals from chamber graves placed in medieval cemetery in Pień, Central Poland

    Tomasz Płoszaj, Krystyna Jędrychowska-Dańska et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2017

    The participation of immigrants during early days in Poland of Piast's dynasty is a debated issue among archaeologists and anthropologists alike. Such hypotheses were formulated on the basis of, amongst others, the discovery of early medieval chamber graves characterized by construction features typical of the Scandinavian culture area. Archaeological and anthropological studies to date have not provided an unequivocal answer as to whether the in…

  • Socioeconomic Differences in Child Mortality in Central Poland at the End of the Nineteenth Century

    Open AccessAlicja Drozd-Lipińska, EWA KLUGIER et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2015

    Analyses of historical or modern populations indicate a strong relationship between mortality level and standard of living, measured, among other factors, by degree of urbanization. The aim of this study was to assess mortality rates in children of up to 5 years of age in two populations living under different conditions in central modern Poland at the end of the 19th century: the rural parish of Kowal, under Russian partition, and Toruń, an indu…

  • Analysis of mercury levels in historical bone material from syphilitic subjects - pilot studies (short report)

    Małgorzata Kępa, Tomasz Kozłowski et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2012Cited by: 13

    The aim of the present work is to study the remains of seven individuals with typical symptoms of tertiary syphilis in terms of mercury content in bones, thereby verifying whether they were subjected to treatment and, if they were, how long their organisms were exposed to toxic mercury fumes. Mercury was used, mainly in the Middle Ages and in the early modern period, as a preventive measure in case of individuals suffering from syphilis, a venere…
