In Western culture hunting has a long and historical lineage and is regarded as one of the cultural practices sanctioned by age-old tradition and customs. Today, despite the fact that it has ceased being a life necessity, it still remains a lively fragment of that culture. The hunt has turned into an exciting form of spending leisure time and a phenomenon situated between a hobby, entertainment and sport. The presented text seeks an answer to questions about the mythological dimension of the chase. The author carried out a critical deconstruction of the universal myth of the hunt upon the basis of two instructive books: Zbigniew Kruczynski's 'Farba znaczy krew' and Tomasz Matkowski's 'Polowaneczko'. He was interested in the real (and not merely imaginary) image in contemporary culture, and thus endeavoured to recreate the mental premises at the basis of hunting and to demonstrate their consequences (for Nature and man). Concluding, the authior asserted that the contemporary hunt is 'intellectual tomfoolery, a cultural absurdity and an ethical scandal' and demanded its delegalisation.

Some doubtful conclusions appearing from the Gautier paper concerning mammal bones of the Stone Age forager site Dudka in the N.E. Poland is discussed. The choice of particularly an island for yearly, seasonal encampment is argued as economically profitable - for fishing and hazelnut gathering, but ungulates hunting carried on the mainland. Traces of keeping semi-domesticated pigs on the island are searching mainly in palaeobotanical data. The controversial method for distinguishing domesticated mammals from their wild relatives is discussed. Some individual bones (of bison, horse, dog, and pig) are re-examining, because their correct identifications are important for the history of these species in the Polish Plain - time of occurrences, status in hunter-gatherer society including eventual local domestication.

The article is devoted to the question of in what sense can we legitimately speak of the religious character of ancient Greek hunting. Relying mainly on the treatise of the famous Greek historian and committed hunter, Arrian of Nicomedia (whose floruit falls in the first half of the second century AD), I argue that hunting was regarded as an activity that remained under the careful guidance of the gods, above all – of Artemis, so, in this, general respect it may be justified to maintain that it was seen as ‘holy’. This assumption, nevertheless, cannot be used as proof in thinking that hunting, trapping, pursuing, chasing and, lastly, killing animals was regarded as ‘sacred’ in the same sense as was the Greek sacrificial ritual, known from classical times (Vth – IVth centuries BC). Occasionally, similarities were seen between the two ways of killing animals, but essentially the ancient Greeks were perfectly aware of the different contexts in which hunting, and ritual slaughtering, occurred. The main basis for such a claim is the fact that it was after a successful hunt that a special type of sacrifice to the god was performed – the so called aparkhai.

The article considers the importance of the royal hunting forest in the vicinity of the Křivoklát kastle in the medieval period and the changes in its utilization. Special attention is devoted to the settlement area that originated in the 12th century and the local villages, which generally became extinct in the course of the following century. The evaluation of the archeological finds from one of these settlements poses the question of the social status of its inhabitants and at the same time uncovers a source of errors in the dating of local pottery, which served as the basis for the archaeological opinions about the development of the royal castles in the region.

The author of this study is concerned with researching the Bereg royal estate, which formed part of the frontier regions of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. In the 11th century Bereg belonged to the great frontier county of Boržava, but formed an independent territory within it. A separate county organization under noble control was established in it only later. Its centre was a royal manor, where the kings of Hungary settled people of German origin in the first half of the 13th century. Its importance mainly lay in the fact that it was a dynastic property of the House of Arpád at least from the 11th century. It was a part of the Carpathian Mountain dominated by forests. Members of the Arpád dynasty went to hunt often there. In Western Europe such properties were known as forest districts and the prerogatives of the monarch prevailed there. It is very probable that forest properties of the dynasty including Bereg were protected also by special rights of the monarch in the Kingdom of Hungary. According to all the evidence, Bereg was a royal forest where members of the Arpád dynasty hunted, and it had an internal organization similar to that known from Western Europe.

Podlaskie Voivodeship in the 15th and at the beginning of the 16th century was an area which was given to great Lithuanian men. Probably in 1466, Juriewicz Chodko received the Bludov Forest located near the Supraśl River. His grandson, Alexander Chodkiewicz, returned to the property of the Bludov Forest and built a castle called Supraśl in a small town of Gródek. He was accused of treason and imprisoned from 1509 to 1511. His estate was subordinated to large prince’s castles in Bielsk Podlaski and Suraż. The colonization of the Bludov Forest was carried out. In 1512, Zygmunt I ordered Alexander Chodkiewicz to return the territory along with settlers. On the request of Queen Bona and King Zygmunt August, Alexander Chodkiewicz reorganized the landed estates belonging to Knyszyn, he also managed this lease. Chodkiewicz estates were divided in 1550. The Great hetman of Lithuania received a huge part of the Bludov Forest and his brother George obtained a part of the Hunting Bludov with the manor house Niezbudka (latter known as Michałowo).
