The Department of Bronze Age Archaeology at the 50th Anniversary of the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University
Established in 1985, the Department of Bronze Age Archaeology was initially headed by Professor Marek Gedl (1934–2014), who led long-term excavation projects at Lusatian culture cemeteries and other sites. In 2004, he was succeeded as the head of the department by Professor Jan Chochorowski, who continued in this role until 2017. Chochorowski was particularly interested in the prehistory and protohistory of the Eurasian steppes; he carried out ex…
The establishment of the Institute of Archaeology at the Jagiellonian University through a historical lens
The Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University was established in 1971 through the merger of the Chairs of Archaeology of Poland and Mediterranean Archaeology. While this was an administrative decision, it reflected the existing situation, particularly the growing staff and research potential of the Chair of Archaeology of Poland under the leadership of Professor Rudolf Jamka. The history of archaeology at the Jagiellonian University…
«Bird-Head» or «horse-Head» Sceptres — A Real or Apparent Dillema
Thanks to their visual attractiveness the bronze sceptres resembling small axe-heads but enriched with zoomorphic elements rank among the most exclusive and interesting objects of ancient bronzeworking. Late Bronze Age examples of such artefacts are known from two separate regions in Europe: north-west Ciscaucasia (3 pieces) and the Carpathian Basin (7 pieces). Cultural affiliation of these few albeit highly interesting objects was first discusse…
The Nature of the Hallstattian Cultural Change in Northern Central Europe in Light of Radiocarbon Dating of the Late Bronze Age Stronghold at Łubowice Near Racibórz (Southwest Poland)
At the close of the Bronze Age, a tendency developed in Central Europe towards the concentration of settlement and fortification of sites which served special economic and social functions. One of the largest centers of this kind in the northern part of Central Europe is the Łubowice stronghold (SW Poland). Archaeological excavations allowed the stratigraphy of the fortification remnants to be comprehensively investigated. In their final stage, t…
Structure and chronology of Russian hunting stations on the Sørkappland and Hornsund coasts (Spitsbergen)
Excavations conducted in 1982–1987 by a Polish archaeological expedition from the Jagiellonian University in the Sørkappland and Hornsund coasts of Spitsbergen encompassed the three Pomor hunting stations of Bjørnbeinflyene, Palffyodden, and Schönningholmane, and included relics from the landing site on the Tørrflya coast used by the Pomors. The wood recovered during the excavations, originating from wooden dwellings, monumental crosses, and a sh…
Dating of Russian Hunting Stations in South Spitsbergen Using Dendrochronological and Radiocarbon Analyses
Excavations conducted in 1982–1987 by the Polish archaeological expedition of Jagiellonian University in the Sørkappland and Hornsund fjord regions of Spitsbergen encompassed the three Pomor hunting stations of Bjørnbeinflyene, Palffyodden, and Schönningholmane, and included relics from the landing site on the Tørrflya coast used by the Pomors. The wood recovered during the excavations, originating from wooden dwellings, monumental crosses, and a…
Wiggle-Match Dating of Tree-Ring Sequences from the Early Iron Age Defensive Settlement Motroninskoe Gorodishche in Mielniki (Central Ukraine)
In 2002–2003, excavations were carried out within the early Iron Age fortified settlement of Motroninskoe Gorodishche in Mielniki (central Ukraine, obl. Cherkassy). The excavations revealed relics of a charred wooden structure in the core of the earth rampart, originally forming the outside fortification line of the settlement. Dendrochronological analysis of 20 charred pieces of the oakwood from the rampart demonstrated that they all represented…
The homsund whaling station ‐exploration and conservation problems
Traces of Pomor nautical penetration on the coasts of northwestern Sørkappland, West Spitsbergen
The structure of the pomor settlement complex on the Schønningholmane site (Hornsund, West Spitsbergen) archaeological data
This article is an attempt to develop a discussion within the archaeological world, with reference to a particular aspect of Russian hunting on Svalbard. In general, such a discussion is vital, because the written sources concerning the Russian activity on Svalbard are rather weak (as is frequently the case with areas on the periphery of cultural centers). Archaeology must therefore play an important role in the reconstruction of the archipelago'…
