In 2018, excavations at the stronghold in Pasym in the Szczytno district continued (Figure 1). They were mainly concentrated on the area within the stronghold. Three excavations were carried out (Figure 2). Trench 1 (15 × 5 m) was situated in the western part on the extension south of Trench 1 from 2017. Excavation 2 (5 × 5 m) was located in the north-west part of the stronghold, on the slope descending towards the lake. Trench 3 (2 × 2 m) was located at the foot of the stronghold on the lake side. In total, the excavated area was 1.29 ar. Particularly noteworthy was the discovery of two large features (4 and 13) of a residential character. The results of previous studies clearly indicate that buildings of this type were located along the edge of the inner area of the stronghold. A large number of finds was recovered during the excavations: 5,082 ceramic fragments, 11,559 animal bone fragments and 121 artefacts.

Published in the article are seven shin-guards made of bronze lacking provenance (Fig. 2:1, 3–5, 7), a fragmented specimen from the region of Końskie, distr. loco (Fig. 6a) which occurred with a fragment of a bronze fibula (Fig. 6b), all held by the Bronze Age and Early Iron Age Department, State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw, also, a shin-guard discovered near the village Łąki, distr. Garwolin (Fig. 2:2). The above finds are discussed using a classification system of M. Mogielnicka-Urban (2008, p. 215–216) by their type and versions. Only one find, with an individual zonal ornament, is classified to the “classic” type, Kuyavish version (Fig. 2:1). Best represented is the Mazovian version, with a varied, as a rule, continuous ornamentation which makes use of hatched “hourglass” motifs in diverse arrangements (Fig. 3–5:1), hatched triangles and reserved rectangles (Fig. 2:1), or a combination of different figures (Fig. 5:2). Three shin-guards are recognised as characteristic for the mixed type (Fig. 6, 7). Analysis of distribution of the ornament suggests that on some shin-guards it was applied onto the rod before it was coiled to form the shin-guard; this is because some of the designs were between the coils and exceptionally, even on the inner face of shin-guard (Fig. 2:2, 7:1). Occasionally, there were some imperfections or errors in composition. On one shin-guard the direction of hatching used to fill the figures was inconsistent (Fig. 4) whereas elements of a design seen on the central portion of a Kuyavish version shin-guard were misaligned (Fig. 2:1). I case of three shin-guards it was possible to determine the order in which individual ornamental motifs were executed. First were groups of transverse grooves; next, the fields between them were filled by outlining the figures, which, as a last step, were filled with diagonal hatching (Fig. 4, 5). A part of the ornament could be of distinct deep grooves (Fig. 2:2, 4, 5), with also present shallow and narrow grooves which easily succumbed to wear (Fig. 3, 6a, 7). A delicate but well defined ornament seen on a Kuyavish version shin-guard consisted of two sorts of incisions: deeper transverse from which extended laterally more shallow and narrow ones (Fig. 2:1). The majority of the shin-guards published here show traces of use in the form of a thinning out of the rod on its inside: in one (Fig. 2:2, 3, 5:1), two (Fig. 4, 7:2) or three places (Fig. 7:1). This thinning out of the rod is thought to result from the rubbing of leather straps against the metal. Presumably, the shin-guards, too heavy to be elements ofdaily attire were suspended vertically from a loosely looped thong which explains why only the face of the shin-guard became worn. Drawing on available data there is not confirmation that “unused” shin-guards were used for some special, e.g., ritual purpose. In the aquatic environment one finds specimens with evident traces of wear as well as undamaged specimens. The shin-guard and fragmented fibula from the region of Końskie recorded together (Fig. 6a.b), as suggested by the written records, could originate from a hoard, As such, this would be a third deposit from the period Hallstatt D, next to hoards from Świdnik, distr. Nowy Sącz, and Łuszkowo, distr. Kościan, containing an shin-guard and a fibula. Type Stanomin shin-guards have occurred over a large area of Europe, from central Germany and northern tip of Jutland Peninsula as far as western Belarus, western Volhynia and Bosnia. The classic type, Kuyavish version, and the mixed type, had a wider range of distribution than shin-guards of classic type, Mazovian version, which mainly cluster in areas lying east of the middle Vistula River. Te diversity of ornaments on shin-guards of Mazovian version intimate the existence of local centres which produced specimens decorated with distinctive compositions. One of such workshops which specialised in elaborate ornaments of groups of short lines (Fig. 5:2) has been located tentatively in Podlasie region and in the adjoining part of Mazowsze (Fig. 1). And presumably, the discovery east of the Vistula River – at Łąki, and at Bużyska, distr. Siedlce (Fig. 1) of shin--guards with terminals of an unusual shape and with an ornament of similarly arranged hatched triangles and reserved rectangles, is not random (Fig. 2:2). Unfortunately, the wide distribution of shin-guards with an ornament of groups of transverse grooves and horizontal “hour-glass” motifs (Fig. 4, 5:1) makes it difficult to draw any more specific conclusions. The majority of the ornamented shin-guards of mixed type originate from areas found west of the Vistula River Finds from central Poland (Fig. 1) feature diverse compositions, many with a herringbone motif (Fig. 6a, 7). Only the expansion of a reliable finds database, detailed analysis of ornamentation and other attributes of the shin-guards, and metallographic studies may help in identifying local centres of production.

Preserved in Józef Marciniak files in the archives department of the Archaeological Museum in Krakow is a line drawing of a slightly bent open neckring fashioned from a rod of circular section (Fig. 1). Ornamented on its outer face with alternating transverse ridges and plain lightly protruding panels bronze (ovolo design, or Eierstabornament) the neckring tapers towards both terminals which are open and curve outwards, ending in plano-convex knobs. Only the details on the provenance (the drawing is described as “Drohiczyn on Bug River, bronze”) of the neckring are known; circumstances of its discovery and later fate are unclear; the piece itself is at present missing. A nearly identical neck ornament, also provenanced to Drohiczyn, is preserved in the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw (Fig. 2); it was dug up in 1919 from a hillside in an area of seriously eroded paving, reportedly, in company of two bronze plain rod armlets (Z. Szmit 1924, p. 125, fig. 7–9). Dated to the Early Iron Age (cf J. Kostrzewski 1964, p. 92, 126) on the basis of its form and distribution range of parallel ornaments the neckring fits in the category of forms which are ascribed with having a Balt provenance (J. Kostrzewski 1956, p. 56). The neckrings from Drohiczyn unite traits observed in two distinct ornamental forms: thin wire neckrings with outcurving terminals, and bronze rod neckrings with a ribbed ornament; the latter are thought to derive from richly ornamented hoops fashioned from bronze sheet rolled into a tube. Dated to the older phase of Hallstatt Period (Ha C) such hoops are noted in Wielkopolska, Śląsk, Kujawy and Western Pomerania (D. Durczewski 1961, p. 98, J. Kostrzewski 1955, p. 141; 1970, p. 101–102, fig. 68b–g.l). Bronze neckrings with outcurving terminals (ca 30 specimens) originate from seven archaeological sites on SW Baltic (Fig. 3, 4). Their most recent dating is phase II (550–120 BC) of settlement in the region (cf M. J. Hoffmann 1999, p. 7; 2000, p. 126). Basing on their attributes neckrings with outcurving terminals may be distinguished into three main groups (Table 1): Group I, which includes two neckrings from Kierwiny, distr. Lidzbark Warmiński (Fig. 4a.b) and the two pieces from Drohiczyn, distr. Siemiatycze (Fig. 1, 2). All these forms are ornamented with isolated ridges and the ovolo motif, their terminals end in differently shaped knobs. Group II includes a neckring from Dąbek, distr. Mława (Fig. 4d), two finds from Yaroslavskoe (Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia), ornamented on the body with ridges or grooves, with widely set apart expanded funnel terminals (Fig. 4g), and all other unornamented neckrings from Yaroslavskoe (Fig. 4f). The neckring from Pistki may be placed either in Group I or II. Group III is represented by forms either ornamented with grooves or lacking any ornament which terminate in profiled funnel or stamp-like heads, ornamented with an incised cross pattern, recovered at Orzysz, distr. Pisz (Fig. 4c), and probably also at Sovetsk (Kaliningrad Oblast). The same group also includes the specimen from the gravefield at Rembielin, distr. Przasnysz (Fig. 4e). Almost all of the cited neckrings show evident affinity − in the ornamentation of their body and shape of their terminals − with ornaments noted in Lusatian and Pomeranian Culture from the Late Hallstatt Period (Ha D) and early La Tène Period (LT A). Only the neckring from Rembielin has a form strongly reminiscent of similar ornaments with a Celtic provenance; basing also on the presence at the site of finds linked to LT B (A. Pozarzycka-Urbańska 1978, p. 160; A. Waluś 1992, p. 90; Z. Woźniak 1995, p. 206) it could have a slightly later dating. Presence of several neckrings with outcurving terminals in two hoards discovered on territory of Samland Group suggests that they could have been produced locally, presumably for trading. On the other hand, their diversity of form indicates rather that originate from different centres of metallurgy active at the time (A. Waluś 1982, p. 243–247; M. J. Hoffmann 2000, p. 176–177) which produced objects having interregional traits but at the same time marked by local distinctiveness. Neckrings with outcurving terminals are limited in their distribution to the zone of direct influence of the West Balt Barrow Culture (cf J. Okulicz 1973, p. 250, fig. 99). In the past the region of Drohiczyn was thought to have lain outside the zone of infiltration of Balt settlement (T. Węgrzynowicz 1973, p. 88–91). Pottery fragments discovered in the area where the hoard was discovered were placed in a set material analysed and published by J. Dąbrowski (1961, p. 24) as Lusatian Culture material from Podlasie. However, according to the recent publication of findings from excavation made at Drohiczyn (I. Kryński 2006) the site harboured the remains of a settlement (or gravefield) showing strong links with Balt lands. Earth and stone structures associated with settlement suggest direct association with fortified settlements in the West Mazurian Group of the West Balt Barrow Culture (J. Okulicz 1973, p. 260–269). The majority of vessels (I. Kryński 2006, pl. 1–5) show traits typical for group II of West Balt Barrow Culture pottery (cf Ł. Okulicz 1970, p. 31–37). Also some of the metal finds (I. Kryński 2006, pl. 6–8) find analogy on Balt territory, including Samland Peninsula (A. Bezzenberger 1904, p. 57, fig. 60, 64; W. Gaerte 1929, fig. 72c; M. J. Hoffmann 1999, pl. XXI:9, XVIII:14.15, XIX:6). Definitely, the results of this research argue strongly in favour of shifting the geographic range of Balt settlement as far to the south as the the River Bug. It is difficult to interpret the nature of the hoard from Drohiczyn. Obviously, deposition in the area of a settlement or burial ground was nothing out of the ordinary in its day and tends to be interpreted as evidence of an attempt at safeguarding one’s valuables in times of trouble. On the other hand, the selection of objects contained in the hoard, all of them ornaments and armlets and particularly, the presence of paired neckrings and armlets, similarly as in the hoards from Kierwiny and Orzysz (where pairs of neckrings were accompanied by pairs of spiral bracelets and pins), may suggest a ritual rather than an economic interpretation of these deposits.

Combs belong to characteristic motifs appearing on face urns from the Pomeranian culture. They are usually presented in the simplest way – in the form of several vertical lines coming from one horizontal line situated mostly in the central part of the urn. Archaeologists studying the Pomeranian culture accept an interpretation that all images comprised of vertical lines are combs (Dzięgielewski 2007: 183). The article presents another way of interpreting the engraving from the Szemud urn which has been assumed to depict a comb. As it has been discussed, both the image itself (extremely long comb teeth) and the structural position of the image (directly under a face image) are not typical. The author suggests that it is rather a depiction of a vertical warp-weighted loom, as evidenced by other images known from Europe (e.g. Sopron, Bologna) dated to the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.

The article presents the results of the trial excavations carried out in 2016 at the fortified settlement in Chotyniec, Jarosław district. It is an object which has been known and mentioned in archaeological literature for a long, but without its precise chronological affiliation, due to the lack of excavations. However, it was most often combined with the Middle Ages. The conducted research requires significant adjustments. All the sources and contextual records allow us to link this large fortified settlement in Chotyniec with the Early Iron Age and the forest steppe variant of the Scythian cultural circle. This unique site will be researched in the next excavation seasons.

One of the features of the burial mound necropolises of Pomeranian culture in the Kashubian Lake District is the presence, beside the mounds, of burial-free constructions. Their form resembles burial mounds or kurgans and their function can often raise questions. This may sometimes result from the fact that such structures are formed in distinct clusters in the cemeteries. At the current stage of research, it can be hypothesized that they represent an integral part of the necropolis.

A multiple culture site “Nogajec”, Kalisz Tyniec (Fig. 1), was discovered by accident in 1936 during sand extraction. Finds salvaged at the time (Fig. 2, 3a–f) were offered by lawyer Sulimierski to the provincial museum (Muzeum Wielkopolskie) in Poznań. The site was excavated three times during the same year but, unfortunately, records from this investigation have not survived. All that is known is that T. Wieczorowski from the Prehistory Department of the provincial museum of Wielkopolska in Poznań explored four graves (Fig. 3g, 4; cf T. Wieczorowski 1939, p. 158) and that finds recovered from seven graves by Professor Z. Zakrzewski, Archaeological Monuments Conservation Officer for the Poznań and Pomeranian provinces, attached to the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw, can no longer be traced (D. Durczewski, Z. Śmigielski 1970, p. 76–77). Late in 1936 Z. Zakrzewski renewed investigation at Kalisz Tyniec and uncovered 23 more graves (Fig. 5–10). The present catalogue presents the entire surviving Lusatian Culture material from “Nogajec” in keeping of the Archaeological Museum in Poznań and the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw.

The aim of the article is to present an attempt at typological classification of clay spindle whorls of the Tarnobrzeg Lusatian culture. It is a closely related category with textiles, but still quite often marginalized by archaeologists in the studies of the excavation materials. It is probably the effect of their commonness and obvious purpose. In opposition to such perception of this category of sources, a much broader aspect of the role of spindle whorls in phenomena of sociocultural and economic importance will be presented. Spindle whorls can be a starting point for research on the recognition and reconstruction of the weaving of the population of the Tarnobrzeg Lusatian culture, research on the chronology and cultural relations of the described taxonomic unit as well as research on its rituals and social structures.

Considering the background of the Lublin Region (Poland), the valley of the Sieniocha river can be described as an area replete with bronze objects dated to the period of the Lusatian culture. Most of them are imports, as their manufacturing was usually beyond the local metallurgists’ skills, chiefl y due to the lack of raw materials. The fi nds originate from distant territories and represent various infl uences (Thraco-Cimmerian, Scythian, of the Hallstatt culture, Scandinavian or from the area of the Volga-Kama rivers). Their presence indicates that the valley used to be a territory, where different cultural connections functioned. The location of the land was conducive to movement of people and cultural interactions.

This article is devoted to pottery vessels or their small sets from cemeteries, which do not contain the remains of the deceased and do not repeat the typical inventories for grave goods. These features include small vessels, usually containers for liquids, and rarely other items. A few chemical analyses have shown that they may have contained food. Unfortunately, descriptions of materials from outside graves are often incomplete and, therefore, there is no doubt that the known catalogue only contains some of the discovered artefacts. Nevertheless there are 273 features from 62 cemeteries. These mostly contain one vessel (up to a maximum of seven items) amounting from 0.2 to 5.8 % of the features from large cemeteries. It should be noted that as for the Lusatian cemeteries there are often metal, stone and flint artefacts among the graves. On the other hand, hoards of vessels are rare. The nature of these vessels suggests that they may have been used for ritual libations, which is considered to be common then. However, it appears that the offerings were given during rituals, which were not always associated with the funeral

In the article the author aims at verifying the previous studies concerning the presence of the Pomeranian Culture in the south-east Poland. He bases his study on new sources and results of scientific datings. The new materials indicate that the Pomeranian Culture was more significant in the south-east Poland that it was previously estimated. The obtained chronological data enables us to assign the Pomeranian Culture materials to the period between HaD3 (HaD3/LtA ?) and LtC, i.e. from the end of the 4th to the mid-3th century BC. Some data suggests considerable degree of microregional diversity of the settlement. What is important, however, is the presence of permanently utilized settlements. Succession is characteristic for many of them: the Tarnobrzeg Lusatian Culture from the Early Iron Age was followed by the Pomeranian Culture.

The site 2 in Marchocice in Little Poland has been already known to archaeologists for more than one hundred years. Recent application of different approaches and research tools helped acquire a new, startling picture confirming the unique cognitive potential of this spectacular areal of ancient to activities. The initial impulse to study presented site by field-walking and the successive non-destructive surveys were the promising results of archive aerial and satellite images analysis. This paper presents the results of large-scale spatial approach with the use of magnetic gradiometry as the fastest and the most cost effective geophysical technique capable of detecting a wide variety of anthropogenic transformations. The Marchocice research project can be an example of how in a relatively short time important data which has the potential to be a firm basis or starting point for further, detailed studies may be acquired and mutualy complemented

The article presents new research on fortified settlements from the Early Iron Age in the Orava and Dunajec river valleys. Based on the characteristics of the construction of the fortifications and similarities in terms of material culture, we propose recognizing the hillforts discovered here as a manifestation of one cultural and settlement horizon related to the so-called Pre-Púchov stage. The radiocarbon determinations obtained for the contexts stratigraphically related to the ramparts from the Nižná-Ostražica, Zabrzeż-Babia Góra, and Maszkowice-Góra Zyndrama sites are already located on the calibration curve after the so-called Hallstatt plateau and allow this horizon to be dated to the 4th century BC, i.e. to the times corresponding to the La Tène B1–B2 phases. Our observations confirm the opinions appearing in more recent literature about the need to date the Pre-Púchov stage in Slovakia earlier, and discuss the thesis about the continuation of settlement at the beginning of the La Tène period. With regard to the Polish Carpathian zone, arguments indicating the possibility of the survival of settlements with Early Iron Age traditions up to the 4th century BC are presented for the first time. This allows us to assume that the process of the formation of the cultural tradition of the La Tène period here progressed in a similar manner to Slovakia, and it was not solely the result of migration from the latter.

Preventive archaeological excavations in 2003–2013 at Enisala-Palanca, Sarichioi, Tulcea County (southeastern Romania) brought to light an EIA settlement ascribed to Babadag culture (10th–8th c. BC). The 15 archaeological structures (pits and dwellings) containing human skeletons in various stages of representation hold an important place in the overall finds. The human bones belong to 26 individuals of both sexes and of various age categories. The anthropological analyses of the human remains from Enisala-Palanca site provide an opportunity to discuss matters concerning taphonomy, demography, pathology etc. The identification of human remains exhibiting signs of violent death opened way to the study of frequency, characteristics and significance of these injuries

In 2014, the Museum in Lębork was enriched with a bronze ornament of the Early Iron Age date, found accidentally in a meadow near the place where the the Sitnica river valley meets the Łeba river valley in Dziechlino-Leśnice (Figs. 1, 2), a few kilometers west of Lębork (Pomorskie voivodship, northern Poland). Surface survey carried out in the area did not reveal any other remains associated with this find, although archival data indicate that the area was occupied in the younger part of the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt D) (Fig. 8). The item under analysis is a ring that was probably the uppermost segment of a multi-part collar built from open rings and fastened with a wide clasp at the back, an ornament typical of the Pomeranian Culture. The ring is oval in top view and saddle-like in side view, and its cross-section changes from lenticular in the central part to oval at the ends, the latter provided with shafts for attaching the clasp (Fig. 3–5). The dimensions are 12.2×12.7 cm, with a thickness of up to 0.6 cm. The ring is made of tin-lead bronze (Table 1). Its upper surface is richly decorated with groups of transversal and diagonal lines, diagonal hatches, punched holes, and a pattern of arches filled with transversal hatches. Most of the motifs were made in the casting, but the last one was made using the cold punching technique (Fig. 6). The ornament of arches seems particularly typical for Pomerania (Fig. 7), although single rings bearing such decoration were occasionally discovered as far as southern Poland, or even in the Szentes-Vekerzug cemetery in Hungary. It seems that multi-part collars decorated with arches represent the older stage in the production and use of these ornaments (in the younger one, arches were more often replaced with chevron motifs – cf. A. Drzewicz 2017). The ring from Dziechlino-Leśnice should therefore be considered a local product (that such collars were used in the Łeba valley is confirmed by face urns with images of these decorations, e.g. from Leśnice – Fig. 8:b). It is difficult, however, to determine whether it originated from a larger deposit of metal objects, or – as a single ring – was the element of grave furnishing. The fact that the object has survived in a good condition argues against this latter possibility.

Textile production during the Hallstatt period was an integral part of everyday life of societies living in Poland. However, discoveries of fabrics are very rare. Textile remains from this period survived primarily in the skeletal bi-ritual graves in the Silesia voivodship. Among preserved fragments of organic finds, remains of clothes and elements of accessories can be distinguished. The best-preserved and well-studied textile remains come from the cemetery in Świbie, Gliwice district. The locality was accidentally discovered in 1930s, but regular excavations started there thirty years later. As a result of the archaeological works, 576 cremation urns and skeletal graves were explored providing a rich set of materials. Grave goods were local products, as well as imports from Southern and Western Europe. Sixty three graves contained remains of textiles. The majority of the surviving fabrics adhered to metal outfits. In addition, research encountered woven tape remains, braided ribbons, threads, and strings. The material acquired from the cemetery in Świbie is the largest textile collection from the Hallstatt period discovered in Poland. It waited in a museum warehouse until the year 2015 when the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Łódź initiated further studies. Despite the fact that most fragments were small and mineralised, all the undertaken analyses led to a better understanding of textile production in the Hallstatt period in Poland with its innovative and traditional elements.
