Item Pradziejowe ślady uprawy roli z Wielkopolski i ziemi lubuskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Augustyniak, Hubert; Gorczyca, Krzysztof; Wawrzyniak, PiotrDiscoveries of agrarian fields are very rare in Poland. In 2006 in Straszków, the district of Koło, in Wielkopolska, and in Kożuchów, the district of Nowa Sól, in Ziemia Lubuska, two fields with the remains of ard-marks were found. Both discoveries have been dated to the Lusatian culture, the former to the Hallstatt period and the latter to the Late Bronze Age.Item Jak pracowity Wojciech zażartował z pana Skąpskiego, czyli perypetie niefortunnego poszukiwacza skarbów z XVIII wieku. Wągrowieckie księgi miejskie jako źródło informacji o nowożytnych depozytach monetarnych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Krzepkowski, MarcinIn the records of Wągrowiec, the town in Wielkopolska, kept in the National Archive in Poznań, there are a number of seventeenth and eighteenth – century notes, concerning hiding, withdrawing and searching for coin deposits. These mentions, most often included in testaments and lawsuit acts, were usually related to the times of political disturbances (Swedish Deluge, Great Northern War). The lawsuit under consideration dates back to 1764 and regards the discovery of a treasure in the village of Rakowo, providing an interesting example of the redeposition and change of the owner of hidden possession – issues that are usually difficult to notice in the analyses of hoards. The examples demonstrate the significance of hitherto underestimated municipal documents for the studies on the circulation and hoarding of money in the modern times.Item Uwagi na temat tzw. grobów rodzinnych kultury pomorskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Malinowski, TadeuszThe paper argues against the concept that all graves of the Pomeranian culture with more than one urn should be regarded family burials. Such graves frequently resulted from storing cremated human bones to be buried during a single funeral service held for a number of deceased, as well as from putting remains of the same dead into various urns. At the same time a burial of a young woman and a newborn baby in separate urns could be termed a family burial.Item Naczynie z przedstawieniem antropomorficznym z nekropoli w Miłosławicach na Dolnym Śląsku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Lasak, Irena; Kaczmarek, MaciejThe paper discusses a vessel with a lid, the urn from one of the graves from the Lusatian culture cemetery in Miłosławice in Lower Silesia (Dolny Śląsk). It presents a stylistic analysis of images from the urn and its lid, as well as an attempt at their semantic interpretation, on the basis of former conclusions from the subject literature, regarding in particular anthropomorphic images on pottery dating from the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age.Item Osada ze schyłkowej fazy kultury łużyckiej w Iwnie, pow. poznański, stanowisko 25/26(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Ciesielski, Mirosław; Dutkiewicz, JakubThe settlement at Iwno, the district of Poznań, site 25/26, provided new evidence for the recognition of the late phase of the Lusatian culture's development and its transformation into the Pomeranian culture towards the end of the Hallstatt period and at the beginning of the early pre-Roman Iron Age.Item Między Północą a Południem. Osadnictwo schyłkowopaleolityczne i mezolityczne w dolnym biegu Warty(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Jankowska, Dobrochna; Rozbiegalski, PiotrThe paper outlines the preliminary results of the project ‘Final Palaeolithic and Mesolithic settlement in the area of the lower reaches of the Warta River’. No traces of such early settlement had been hitherto recognised in the investigated area. The project yielded 1500 sites with flint artefacts in the area. Over 80 sites have been classified as the Final Palaeolithic and/or Mesolithic. The distribution of the sites together with the environmental conditions and the analysis of the artefacts allowed for some hypotheses to be verified in further stages of the project.Item Renesansowe kafle z tarczownikami z wyspy tumskiej w Poznaniu(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Antowska-Gorączniak, Olga; Poklewska-Koziełł, Magdalena; Sprenger, MagdalenaThe paper presents an assemblage of Renaissance stove tiles with an image of the so-called shield-bearer, excavated at Ostrów Tumski, Poznań. The coats of arms pictured on panels represent noble houses of Poznań and Wielkopolska. The attempt has been made to refer them to particular persons dwelling on the cathedral island, where the tiles were used in the construction of ceramic stoves.Item Sesostris – ideał władcy epoki Oświecenia(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Kaczmarek, HieronimThe paper discusses the adaptation of the Egyptian Pharaoh Sesostris as an ideal ruler by the people of the Enlightenment.Item Nowe odkrycia figurek Feuerböcke z terenów ziem polskich(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Michałowski, Andrzej; Teska, MilenaDuring the excavation of the site in Grabkowo, the district of Włocławek, fragments of two firedogs were unearthed. They represent type II: 1 in M. Babes’s typology. Originating in Jutland, they correspond with stylistic features of pottery recognised at the site and are dated to the beginning of the Pre-Roman Iron Age. Given a very small number of such artefacts known from Poland, the discovery of firedogs in Grabkowo throws new light on the spread of such forms in Central EuropeItem Studnia z późnej epoki brązu ze Szczodrzykowa koło Kórnika(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Krzyszowski, AndrzejIn 2004 rescue excavations were carried out at the multicultural site 4 in Szczodrzykowo, near Kórnik, Poznań District (in advance of the construction of the local gas pipeline). Within the area of 1260m2 60 features were unearthed, including 16 of the Lusatian culture. Among the latter a whole circular timber lined well was discovered, consisting of three parts made of a burned trunk of an aldertree. The parts were supported with several timber pegs from the outside. The fragments of pottery discovered in the well represent the style of the Late Bronze Age and the period from HaC till HaC – HaD. The chronology of the feature was estimated also on the basis of the 14C dating (a piece of the timber provided a sample) and the achieved dates ranged between 836 and 771 BC.Item Ekspedycja górnodniestrzańska Instytutu Prahistorii Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu. Perspektywy polsko-ukraińskiego projektu badawczego(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Makarowicz, PrzemysławThe aim of the project is to recognise selected barrow cemeteries of the Bronze Age Komarow culture, dated to 1700-1100 BC, and the publication of the excavation results. In 2007 and 2009 two largest ‘Komarow’ cemeteries were verified in the course of field-walking surveys – the eponymic site at Komarow and Bukivna (Bukowna), Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. The next stage of the project was a geomagnetic and archaeological research at the necropolis in Bukowna carried out since 2010.Item Nowe kostki mozaikowe z Ostrowa Tumskiego w Poznaniu, stan. 13(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Jankowiak, Dominika; Lech, Paweł; Sikorski, AndrzejBetween 1950 and 2010, the central and southern parts of the fortified settlement in Poznań yielded over 280 glass mosaic cubes – tesserae, dated to the 11th till 13th century (the largest collection of such decorative elements in Poland). The western part of the site Ostrów Tumski 13 (OT 13), produced two more cubes. The cubes (one translucent and gilded, the other one red) probably come from the destroyed palatial-sacral complex, or from the cathedral, or any other building in the area.Item Niezidentyfikowany przedmiot gliniany z osady ludności kultury pucharów lejkowatych w Poganicach, pow. słupski, stan. 4(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Wierzbicki, JacekAmong hundreds of thousands potsherds produced by the Funnel Beaker settlement site in Poganice there was an almost spherical item, with its surface covered with 65 imprints of a fingernail. The imprints might have been done by a child, who tried to imitate activities related to the production of a ceramic vessel, although it seems more probable that the item was meant to be a toy. The artifact may possibly represent a method of recording numerical information, commonly known as tally marks, in which a quantity was recorded according to the rule: one item – one sign. However, the item might have been also produced unconsciously. In his theory of various intelligences, H. Gardner distinguished a kinaesthetic intelligence. A person with the dominant kinaesthetic intelligence is manually skilled, and has a habit of playing with variuos things while listening. Maybe, then, the item was unintentionally made by someone sitting at the fire and listening to the story being told by someone else while unconsciously playing with the clay ball?Item Badania archeometryczne substancji organicznej z krzemiennych grocików z cmentarzyska ludności kultury mogiłowej w Górzycy nad Odrą(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Pietrzak, Sławomir; Langer, Jerzy J.The aim of this paper is to verify a hypothesis of the organic origin of adhesives that were preserved on the surface of two flint arrowheads discovered in grave 26 on the cemetery of the Tumulus Culture at Górzyca upon the Odra River. The main purpose of the archaeometric analysis was to identify archaeological specimens (including their differentiation from geogenic bitumic substances and food remains), as well as to recognise tar producing technologies of the Tumulus Culture communities. Preliminary archaeometric analysis showed that both specimens displayed features of organic anthropogenic materials, produced in the process of dry distillation of method with an additional vessel to collect the product. The hypothesis, was further verified in the course of microscopic analyses, which did not register any traces of raw material, e. g. birch bark. This, has suggested the use of an advanced production technology.Item Figurka ornitomorficzna z Międzyrzecza w województwie lubuskim(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Indycka, AgnieszkaRescue excavations undertaken in 2004 in advance of the construction of the first part of the Międzyrzecz ring road, entailed the investigation of a multicultural settlement site Międzyrzecz 10. The site produced a fragmented clay ornithomorphic figurine of a water bird, most probably a duck. The chronology of the figurine was estimated at the final Bronze Age (V BA) – the beginning of the Iron Age (Hallstatt period). Unfortunately, the figurine was a stray find from a secondary deposit. The item – a whole figurine on one limb – belongs to the most frequent group among individual representations of birds. The representation of the bird is one of the most common motifs in the figurative art in the western province of the Lusatian culture towards the end of the Bronze Age and in the Hallstatt period.Item Grzebień znaleziony w studni ludności kultury przeworskiej z miejscowości Konotopa na Mazowszu(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Machajewski, HenrykExcavations carried out in advance of the construction of A-2 highway in the vicinity of the village of Konotopa unearthed the settlement site of the Przeworsk culture which functioned between the late phase B2 until the second half of phase C2. The site produced a number of interesting finds, including a three-layer comb representing type I, variety 1 according to S. Thomas, dated to the second half of phase C2 of the Late Roman Iron Age.Item Wiersz na pochwałę herbu Łukasza III Górki w szesnastowiecznym druku Aleksandra Augezdeckiego(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Wielgosz-Skorupka, EwaIn the paper we present one of the poems written in the sixteenth century, a tribute to the Łukasz III Górka’s coat of arms – Łodzia, found in a Bohemian hymnal Piesně Chwal Božskych [...], issued in Szamotuły in 1561 by Aleksander Augezdecki. The main subject of the paper is a whole-page woodcut on the verso of the title page the book presenting Łukasz III Górka’s complex coat of arms, with an accompanying Czech poem in its honour. Poems concerning the Łodzia coat of arms are known from over 20 Polish printings dating to the sixteenth century, the oldest of them dedicated to Piotr Tomicki, a vice-chancellor, bishop of Krakow and Poznań, and later mainly to the members of the houses of Górka and Opaliński.Item Pod rozsadzonym kamieniem(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Kaczmarek, Jarmila E.Among the ‘hoards’ unearthed between the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, there is a particular collection of items found under erratic boulders. Wielkopolska produced nine such discoveries, dated to the Eneolithic (Bytyń, the district of Szamotuły), the Bronze or Early Iron Ages (Brzezie, the district of Pleszew; Kaczory, the district of Piła; Łuszkowo, the district of Kościan; Rosko, the district of Czarnków-Trzcianka), as well as the early Middle Ages (Górzno, the district of Leszno; Magnuszewice, the district of Jarocin; Nojewo, the district of Szamotuły; Słuszków, the district of Kalisz). Similar finds are also known from other regions of Poland. The ‘hoards’ were buried near or under boulders. In the Bronze and Early Iron Ages the deposits consisted of various bronze and iron items, while in the medieval times they predominately consisted of silver. The practice of burying objects under boulders were most probably related to some cult rituals. In the ancient times, the cult of boulders, interpreted i.e. as places where epiphany of gods took place, was quite common; hence burying precious offerings under boulders. In the early Middle Ages boulders were regarded as one of the borders between the known and unknown world, thus the deposition of precious objects in such places was supposed to ensure their usage in future life. In Poland, the cult of boulders was still present in the nineteenth century. Folk legends told stories of boulders, sometimes of treasures found underneath, for which an archetype might have been provided by particular discoveries of objects buried under boulders in prehistory. However, cult rituals cannot account for all finds – the context of each find must be always taken into consideration.Item Z historii badań nad wyobrażeniami n ceramice grobowej kultury pomorskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2012) Kwapiński, Marian; Kwapiński, AleksanderThe paper outlines the history of the study of images on the Pomeranian culture burial pottery at the beginning of the scientific interest in this phenomenon. At the time a range of research issues emerged that have been addressed also by later scholars. The authors also aim to present a complementary character of the investigation on the vessel iconography of the Pomeranian culture and consider a possibility of explaining cultural senses on the basis of the history of interpretation of facial images.Item Profesor Jerzy Fogel - wspomnienie(Wydawnictwo Naukowe Uniwersytetu im.
