A few dozen alleged needle-holders are among the Medieval objects of horn discovered to date in Polish territories. They share a few characteristics in common: as a rule they are made of severed antler ends and most are richly decorated on all or part of the surface. Moreover, they share a specific find context, most of them having been discovered in the principal Early Medieval administrative and church centers of Polish lands. Presumably this is not a mere coincidence and a reflection of the state of research. It has been noted that identical objects appear in medieval illustrations of the interiors of scriptoria, either lying on the scribe's pulpits or hanging on the walls. They served as inkpots or containers for pigments that were used for the miniatures included in manuscripts. Relevant publications also include objects that are identical with these 'needle-holders', but which researchers have classified in other functional groups. The collected data has given the author grounds to suggest that the so-called needle-holders had nothing to do with needles, but were rather part of the furnishings of medieval offices and the personal equipment of individual scribes. By the same, the objects in question constitute a new source for reconstructing the organization of the Church and administration in Polish lands of the time.

An unusual object was given to the Archaeology Department of the Museum in Koszalin in 2007. It was a circular metal seal with a heraldic depiction. This latter is a head of a ram on an escutcheon. Further to an in-depth analysis of the heraldic depiction, it was possible to establish that there is a high probability that the seal dates from the first half of the 14th century, and that it was used by representatives of the knight village leaders from Strzelce.

Abstract: Based on the results of archaeological research carried out in the Old Town in Koszalin, confronted with written sources, the authors attempted to identify the nature of the pre-location settlement phase (open settlement and stronghold), and the development of structures in the quarters and urban plots of the charted town. They deal with the subject of the two main elements of the medieval town - the town hall and the parish church as well as the importance of the Cistercian convent in the town’s development.

Abstract: The paper presents the results of excavations carried out on the Cistercian convent's cemetery in Koszalin. During rescue excavations, 16 inhumation burials were discovered. The dead were buried without any additional furnishings in wooden coffins. The burials were arranged in a regular row. Graves are dated to the 1280s - the first quarter of the 16th century.
