Abstract: The article is a polemical response to Błażej Stanisławski’s (2011) comments on early medieval construction in Wolin published in Volume VI/VII of ‘Materiały Zachodniopomorskie’. I do not agree with the dating of the oldest log construction and wattle-and-daub construction buildings. I also question the terminology used by this researcher, Furthermore, I believe there is some exaggerated interpretation of finds, unreliable reconstructions of post-and-beam buildings, erroneous selection of illustrations for the presented issues and a lack of examples as well as references supporting the theory of Frisian analogies of the post-and-beam construction. In the section on palisade construction structures I polemicize B. Stanisławski on Wolin long houses, we agree that the presence of the palisade construction buildings in Wolin is not synonymous with the presence of Scandinavian settlers. The vertical-post log construction was, in my opinion, presented too briefly based on only one building from trench 6 in Wolin’s Old Town. In summary, I conclude that the work by B. Stanisławski has many shortcomings, the reinterpretations of discoveries of older researchers are unconvincing and the presented documentation is inaccurate.
