For special purposes only: Ceramic casting moulds from the late Bronze and Early Iron Age metallurgical workshop in Grzybiany (SW Poland)
Ceramic moulds are regarded as highly specialised, refractory tools used in metallurgy, yet their production process still needs clarification. Our research aimed to characterise the stages of operational chains applied in mould manufacture. The evidence comes from the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age lake settlement in Grzybiany in SW Poland, dated to 9/8th–5th century bce . The site provided rich data on tin‐bronze metallurgy, chiefly the lost‐wa…
Metallurgy in first-millennium BC Poland: Insights From Metal Production, Trade Networks and Landscape Archaeology
Multidisciplinary methods permit the first archaeometallurgical study of artefacts from five key first-millennium BC settlements in Poland: Grzybiany, Wicina, Kamieniec, Tarławki and Mołtajny. This project fills a lacuna in our understanding of technical ceramics, metal provenance and the role of settlements in the cultural landscape
The life and death of windmills in central Poland: Between lost heritage and the heritage of memory
Windmills are one of the most complex human inventions of the pre-industrial era. Making use of wind energy to serve human needs was not only a miracle of architecture and technology: it produced silent witnesses of history – an important part of a rural landscape, local identity and folklore. Thanks to their multiple roles, windmills are useful research objects for scientists in various fields. In Poland the first written records of windmills da…
Provenance studies of basaltic tools from the Polish Lowlands in the light of geochemical and mineralogical studies
Basaltic artefacts related to early agrarian cultures (Neolithic and Early Bronze Age) inhabiting the Kujawy region of the Polish Lowlands (Central Poland) were studied. The main goal of this study was to assess the provenance of the basaltic raw material and the documentation of manifestations of the activity of inhabitants of the Lowlands. The mineral and chemical compositions of the artefacts were directly compared with those of basaltoids con…
Local or imported? The origin of the raw material used in manufacturing bricks from castles of the Teutonic knights in north‐central Poland and their significance to our understanding of medieval cons…
This article presents the results of research on bricks from medieval castles in north‐central Poland. They were characterised based on petrographic analyses of thin section and mutually complementary instrumental methods. The bricks came from the oldest parts of the castles preserved to this day, or from castles not preserved but examined and excavated during archaeological research. The data obtained allowed for the identification of building m…
Morphology, function, petrography and provenance of ground stone tool assemblage from Niemczańska, Poland in the light of late Bronze Age lithic production in the Odra basin
This paper presents results of morphological and petrological analyses of ground stone tool assemblage acquired from late Bronze Age settlement site at Niemczańska, Wrocław, Poland. The collection of six tools is functionally and petrologically diverse but comparable in terms of physical and mechanical properties, i.e. hardness and wear resistance. Exclusively hard and quartz-rich rocks were selected for tools production (granites, gneisses and s…
Historical materials from the post-Cistercian abbey in Kamieniec Ząbkowicki (southwestern Poland)-application of mineralogical methods for identification of source of raw materials
In this paper, we use a set of methods applied for geosciences to reveal the provenance of raw materials and historical aspects of technology of lime production from the post-Cistercian church (southwestern Poland). Two types of building stones (mica schists and sandstones) and two groups of mortars, related with two different construction phases (Gothic and Baroque), were used for construction of the church façade. Principal difference between b…
Analytical overview of different Baroque plastering techniques applied in the post-Cistercian abbey in Lubiąż (South-Western Poland)
Characterization of Historical Mortar Used in Loom Factory Site at Abydos
This paper aims to characterize historical mortars taken from joints in Loom Factory site atAbydos Sohag (Egypt). This characterization includes their composition and technology, theirstate of preservation as well as provides a guide for their possible conservation process. Amultidisciplinary approach has been adopted for investigations. Samples were investigated bymeans of visual inspection, polarizing microscope (PM), scanning electron microsco…
Mineralogical characteristic of mortars from the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari: Preliminary report
The article presents the results of physico-chemical analyses of a few masonry mortar and whitewash samples taken in the mid-1990s from the Temple of Hatshepsut in Deir el-Bahari. The mineralogical characteristic of the samples contributes to the body of knowledge on the composition of these masonry mortars and their structure, while at the same time encouraging further research on a greater number of samples
