Abstracts

The author discusses the most important scientific achievements of Professor Zofia Kurnatowska, one of the most outstanding Polish early medieval archaeologists. Her name is closely connected with postwar research on the emergence of Polish statehood. For years she was engaged in building the scientific and technical infrastructure in Wielkopolska, forming a sound basis for the implementation of long-term research projects in the region. The Author discusses first the stages of her professional career, including her lifelong relation with the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences. It goes on to describe Prof. Kurnatowska’s research interests and in particular her contribution to the study of Slav culture, finishing with a resume of her extensive publications (621 papers) and her organizational achievements. The author concludes with the statement that Prof. Zofia Kurnatowska was a beacon for many generations of researchers.
