Silvery dawn
This study investigates whether locally available silver contributed to early Piast coinage through high-resolution lead isotope and elemental analyses of 11th–early 12th-century coins from the Polish lands. The earliest royal issues, including key emissions of Bolesław I the Brave, form an isotopically coherent group consistent with the Pb–Ag ores of the Upper Silesia-Kraków Upland (US). Although these deposits were already known and exploited a…
Wczesnośredniowieczne granulowane ozdoby z polskich skarbów i grobów. Techniki lutowania i problemy konserwatorskie
Srebrne ozdoby z wczesnośredniowiecznych skarbów z Polski, Ukrainy, Rosji i Skandynawii stanowią bogaty materiał źródłowy, który w archeologii jest dobrze rozpoznany pod względem typologicznym. Do niedawna istniał jednakże ograniczony dostęp do wiedzy związanej z analizami dotyczącymi pochodzenia surowców czy technik wykonania takich ozdób. Artykuł koncentruje się na tej tematyce. W opinii autorów wyniki takich analiz mogą odnosić się nie tylko d…
The first isotopic evidence of Early Iron Age lead ore exploitation in the Silesian‐Krakow upland, Poland
The Bronze and Early Iron Ages witnessed a significant increase in trade relations driven by the search for valuable metals. This paper presents new insights into the use of galena from the Silesia and Krakow Upland region in southern Poland, known as the ‘Olkusz ore deposits’, within the context of metal ores in prehistoric Europe. Eleven lead‐based ornaments from Lusatian Urnfield Culture cemeteries were examined using lead isotope analysis. Th…
Isotopic metal compositions of Viking and medieval tin artifacts from Poland reveal expansive trade network
Chemical composition of early mediaeval arsenic sulphide glass’ beads as an indicator of the origin of the raw material
Amulets from Viking-age Baltic coast
Research on chemical soldering in early medieval jewellery
The aim of this paper is to discuss technological details of medieval jewellery on the basis of studies on five lunulas (the Obra Nowa hoard, Poland). The types of soldering which were applied in order to attach granules and wire to the artefact surface were studied with the use of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, micro‐Raman spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Results confirmed the use o…
Srebro pierwszych Piastów. Uwagi w związku z książką Dariusza Adamczyka
Silver as coins, jewellery and other items was between the eighth and twelfth centuries one of the most important noble metals in Europe, with different functions, both economic and symbolic ones. One of its manifestations was, in some places, burying silver items underground. The reviewed book is devoted to research into the role played by silver in the process of formation of the Piast State
Skandynawowie nad rzeką Parsętą
A cemetery of more than 100 barrows is located at Świelubie, near the 9th c. stronghold of Bardy lying south of Kołobrzeg in Western Pomerania. In six of the 36 graves that were explored, containing both male and female burials, the grave goods consisted of typically Scandinavian objects. For a long time the discovery posed a problem that was also political in its nature. Author revisits the Scandinavian finds from Świelubie and discusses their c…
Origin and Production of Silver in Early Medieval Poland
Modern archaeology makes use of analytical methods in order to answer questions about deposit and technological provenience of artefacts. This paper discusses selected and the most interesting, results obtained during the completion of a research project which focuses on silver from the 10th and 11th centuries in Poland. In total, 200 silver artefacts known from Polish hoards (found in Kalisz-Dobrzec, Nowa Obra, Wolsztyn District, Zalesie, Olszty…
Archaeometric studies on early medieval silver jewellery from Central and Eastern Europe
Scanning electron microscopy with X-ray microanalyses (SEM-EDX) was used for a technological study of silver jewellery from three hoards found in Poland. The assemblage consists of 26 artefacts from the period of formation of the first Polish state (900–1039 AD) and can be divided into three groups: West Slavic, post-Moravian and Scandinavian. Research results provide information concerning techniques used for granulation ornament and the provena…
Viking Rus
This volume deals with one of the most controversial issues in writings about early medieval history: the presence of Scandinavians, known as Rus, and their impact on Eastern Europe during the Viking Age. These studies give for the first time an extensive and detailed picture of the Norse population in the East by using, besides written narratives, a wide range of archaeological sources. The seven chapters survey the background, then depict the f…
