The physicochemical investigation of different archaeological samples are important in exploring the human past. Non-invasive spectroscopic methods, like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), are useful diagnostic tool, used to identify unknown adhesive substances deposited on artifacts (e.g. vessels, utensils or tools). As the results of analysis of black residues on selected artifacts from Wrocław pitch, wood tar and wine have been identified.

A rich set artefacts made of copper comes from the cemetery of the Jordanów culture discovered at the site No. 10/11/12 in Domasław, Kobierzyce commune. This article presents the results of metallographic research of selected artefacts, which were the grave goods from two male graves No. 12862 and No. 13131. All the analyzed artefacts were made of a raw material containing very large amounts of copper and trace amounts of other elements. The observed differences in the content of arsenic, antimony and bismuth may indicate the use of various sources of raw material or can be related to the copper production process.

In the spring of 2016, an archaeology student at the University of Wrocław together with a resident of Gościno commune found a blue-green blade that fitted into the palm of his hand. It was found in a ploughed soil while walking along a forest path in Dargocice (Gościno commune, Kołobrzeg district, West Pomeranian Voivodeship). The artefact was submitted to the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Wrocław for further analysis.

The article discusses the results of interdisciplinary studies of a Romanesque stone head of high-quality artistry. It was discovered in 2017 during excavations at Nowy Targ (New Market) Square in the city of Wrocław (Lower Silesia, Poland). The sculpture originally came from one of the Romanesque sacred buildings of Wrocław, none of which have survived to this day. Although it had been made in the mid-12th century, it was found in the remains of a wooden residential building burnt down in the 14th century. The results of petrographic analyses indicate that the stone head was made of fine-grained sandstone classified as lithic wacke. The raw material was most likely a Devonian-Carboniferous sandstone from the Opava Mountains. However, similar sandstones also occurred in several medieval mines located in Upper Silesia. According to a popular belief, medieval aesthetics required such sculptures to be polychromed. The non-destructive analyses conducted with the microscopic XRF , XRD , and FTIR methods demonstrated that a clean stone surface was also acceptable.
