Burying iron at Tyniec, Maszkowice, and elsewhere
Recent discoveries of hoards composed of iron objects in Lesser Poland suggest the existence of a specific cultural norm of deposition and a high valorisation of this metal at the onset of the Early Iron Age (750-550 BC). By broadening the scope of analysis to include single finds of ‘large irons’ and comparing them with burial assemblages, a contrasting picture of regional dichotomy emerges. It is manifested in differing practices of iron deposi…
Looking closer
In the oldest phase of the Early Bronze Age settlement on Zyndram’s Hill in Maszkowice (Western Carpathians), the hilltop plateau was partially surrounded by massive stone fortifications which were extensively excavated between 2015 and 2020. In our paper, we shall focus on the unusual element of this fortification system, described as the “eastern gate”. This passage functioned only in the oldest phase of the Early Bronze Age settlement (ca. 172…
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…
An Early Neolithic enclosure at the site of Vlaho, Pelagonia
Recent study of Vlaho in Pelagonia confirms that it is the earliest known Neolithic settlement in North Macedonia. Multidisciplinary research of the architecture and material reveals a complex enclosure site dating to the seventh millennium BC, with dozens of ditches, daub buildings, white painted pottery and domesticated plants and animals
“Late Hallstatt” hillforts in the Western Carpathians
The article presents new research on fortified settlements from the Early Iron Age in the Orava and Dunajec river valleys. Based on the characteristics of the construction of the fortifications and similarities in terms of material culture, we propose recognizing the hillforts discovered here as a manifestation of one cultural and settlement horizon related to the so-called Pre-Púchov stage. The radiocarbon determinations obtained for the context…
The Early Neolithic tell of Vrbjanska Čuka in Pelagonia
Vrbjanska Čuka is a tell site in the region of Pelagonia (Macedonia) established 8000 years ago by the Neolithic communities. Later it was used as an agricultural unit during the Roman era and the Middle Ages when it was also employed as a burial area. The excavations performed in the 1980s and during the last five years indicate a Neolithic farming society that constructed large buildings made of daub in a settlement enclosed by a circular ditch…
Fortified settlements of the Funnel Beaker-Baden phase in the western Little Poland
At the end of the fourth millennium BC, in the areas of the western Małopolska, existing Funnel Beaker culture structures south of the Szreniawa river has been disintegrated and replaced by the settlement of allochthonous Baden culture. North of the river, the development of the FBC still continued strongly influenced by the Baden culture leading to the specific form of the syncretic FB-BC. In this period only a few, but very extensive, central s…
Chasing Bronze Age rainbows
Chasing Bronze Age rainbows. Studies on hoards and related phenomena in prehistoric Europe in honour of Wojciech Blajer
Vessels containing deposits of metal items only exceptionally are subject to detailed studies. Only laconic remarks on the presence of pottery sherds or information that metal items were stored in a vessel or vessels are most often published. It seems that metal artefacts are perceived more valuable and thus deserving more attention, while pottery – most often the aesthetically unappealing kitchenware – is considered too plain to be interesting. …
A classification of objects made of bone, antler, tooth and horn from the Early Bronze Age fortified settlement in Maszkowice
Excavations at the Early Bronze Age fortified settlement in Maszkowice (Western Carpathians) carried out in 1959-1975 and 2010-2017 produced, among other finds, a collection of 56 artifacts made of bone, antler, teeth and horn. They were classified using formal criteria (size, shape, decoration), as well as character of use-wear traces into four types of ornaments (plaque, pendants, pins, dress items made of long bones) and seven types of tools (…
Mating systems in prehistoric populations. An evolutionary approach and archaeological evidence
Der aktuelle Forschungsstand deutet darauf hin, dass die Vielfältigkeit der Heiratsformen, die sich in vormodernen Gesellschaften beobachten lassen, das Ergebnis evolutionären Drucks sind. Dieser Ansicht zufolge können Polygamie und Monogamie als konkurrierende Strategien angesehen werden, die sich unter bestimmten Umständen ausbreiten. Der folgende Beitrag will dies auf der Grundlage archäologischer Daten überprüfen. Dazu werden aus zwölf Gräber…
