Author presents the current state of research on glass-making at site no. 1, the “Old Town”, in Wolin. In 1963 Jerzy Olczak and Elżbieta Jasiewiczowa published a detailed analysis of the glass artifacts found in trench no. 4 at the site, discussing on these grounds the scope and nature of early medieval glass-making in Wolin. The presentation of glass artifacts in this article reviews the whole assemblage and considers the finds, as well as the results of new physico-chemical analyses, in the context of local glass-making, making an effort to verify earlier findings in this respect.

The subject of the paper is an ornamented glass bead discovered at site no. 1 at Wolin. The feature was found in layer VIII dated to the period between the 4th quarter of the 10th c. to the 1st half of the 11th c. The bead has the shape of a central part of a sphere; its body was made of reddish-brown opaque glass, while the ornament – of yellow opaque glass. The ornament presents a complicated pattern, which reminds of Arabic writing. The paleographic analysis did not confirm this assumption and suggested only a small similarity to the writing. The X-ray analysis of glass allowed to discover that the bead was made of lead-silica glass. Further examinations showed that beads made of this kind of glass seldom show in the Arabic world and the closest analogies to the bespoken feature originate from Wolin, York and Berlin-Spandau.

In 2016, a research team comprised of scientists from the University of Szczecin, the University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences made a reconnaissance expedition to Morocco. The team’s technology partner is Pixel Legend. The aim of the team is to locate and to examine a Slavs’ village from the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries which was mentioned in Al-Bakri’s work. The expedition lasted 29 days and travelled over 10,000 km. It resulted in acquiring literature, scientific contacts, field experience and a collection of traditional pottery from northern Morocco. The effects of the expedition were presented in the media, at conferences and in scientific journals.
