Monitoring Archaeological Sites Affected by Natural and Anthropogenic Hazards Using Multitemporal UAV-Photogrammetry: A Case Study from the Barranca Valleys, Peru
Archaeological sites are increasingly threatened by human activities and natural processes, causing irreversible heritage loss. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry has advanced documentation and monitoring, yet many applications lack accuracy assessment or rely on a single data source. This study applies high-resolution, multi-temporal UAV-photogrammetry to nine archaeological sites in the Barranca Valleys, Peru—the first case study of t…
Chapel of St. Anne in Podegrodzie, Nowy Sącz district – archaeological and conservation perspective
In February 2025, during renovation works conducted at the 17th-century St. Anne’s Chapel in Podegrodzie, archaeological investigations were carried out. These works focused on the areas adjacent to the chapel walls, where vertical insulation of the foundations was to be installed. The archaeological research led to the documentation of two human skeletons and confirmed the presence of other burials (in the form of small bone fragments). The only…
Natural and Anthropogenic Threats to Prehistoric Archaeological Sites in Southern Jordan: Comparison with Poland and a Call for the Exchange of Experiences
Jordan’s rich archaeological heritage, encapsulating crucial chapters of human history, faces unprecedented threats from both natural and anthropogenic factors. This article elucidates the various challenges besieging Jordan’s historical sites, ranging from climatic alterations to uninhibited urban expansion and intensified agricultural activities. Furthermore, it casts a spotlight on the detrimental impacts of mining activities, underscoring the…
Department of New World Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków
The Department of New World Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, Faculty of History of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków was founded in 2008. The faculty members from this unit conduct research in both Americas with focus on archaeological research and collaboration with Indigenous societies as well as provide classes and special programmes for students interested in the archaeology and anthropology of the New World. The fieldwork inc…
On the edge of Prehistory. Preliminary results of excavations at three Chalcolithic and Bronze Age sites in southern Jordan
This article summarizes the research conducted between 2019 and 2022 by a Jagiellonian University (JU) team at three important sites in southern Jordan: Umm Tuweyrat, Wadi Quseir/Huseiniya, and Wadi Faynan 731. The data gathered provide new perspectives on population groups inhabiting the southern part of modern Jordan during Late Prehistory and give insights provoking reconsiderations of previous assumptions. The excavated sites offer new vantag…
Unveiling Hunnic legacy: Decoding elite presence in Poland through a unique child’s burial with modified cranium
Dinámica Del Desarrollo Cultural Y Sociopolítico De Nakum, Guatemala Durante El Preclásico Medio
Los resultados de investigaciones arqueológicas recientes llevadas a cabo en el sitio Nakum, ubicado en el noreste de Guatemala, indican que este centro experimentó una importante evolución cultural, sociopolítica y arquitectónica entre los horizontes pre-Mamom y Mamom (1000–300 a.C.). Las excavaciones arqueológicas permitieron documentar varios edificios y complejos fechados para este periodo, incluyendo un grupo tipo E, una cancha de juego de p…
Siliceous rocks from the southern part of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland (Southern Poland) as potential raw materials in the manufacture of stone tools – A characterization and possibilities of identif…
The Upper Jurassic sediments from the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland developed as carbonates, mostly limestones, which represent the microbial-sponge megafacies that were typical of the northern margin of the Tethys Ocean. Outcrops of these rocks are scattered along an extended belt ranging from Portugal to the Caucasus Mts. One of the common features of the bedded limestones belonging to this megafacies is the local occurrence of chert concretions. T…
HLC Project 2018: Jagiellonian University excavations in southern Jordan
A complex view of the prehistory in southern Jordan emerges from the excavations of the Jagiellonian University team, which carried out in 2018 its second season of fieldwork at the sites of Munqata’a and Faysaliyya, even as analyses of finds from the previous season were underway. Human communities living here in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age practiced both sedentary and mobile lifestyles. The changing landscape around them, caused by natur…
HLC Project 2017. Jagiellonian University excavations in southern Jordan
The HLC (Heritage–Landscape–Community) archaeological metaproject, carried out since 2016 by the Jagiellonian University in cooperation with the Department of Antiquities, Ministry of Antiquities and Tourism, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, targets the archaeological heritage of southern Jordan (Tafila region), focusing currently on remains of the Early Bronze Age and earlier cultures that were found in the region. The project has already identified…
Excavation along the easternmost frontier of the LBK in NE-Hungary at Apc-Berekalja I (2008–2009)
The topographical position and size of the site, the number of detected houses, the presence of the early phase make the Apc-Berekalja I settlement one of the most significant sites of the LBK in Hungary. The ongoing processing of the excavation data provided already some very important observations. The geoarchaeological results demonstrated the presence of the in situ soil of the Neolithic period and effects of floods on the settlement. The stu…
Linear Band Pottery Culture (LBK) lithic industry from Apc
The general inventory of the chipped stone artefacts coming from the LBK features at Apc indicates that a specific, small scale, local lithic production was conducted on-site. Majority of used raw materials are limnoquartzites (nearly 70%) originating mainly from the Mátra and Cserhát Mountains. The use of rather poor quality local raw materials influenced the technique of working raw materials, which was employed throughout the period of the fun…
