At the beginning of 2017, the Foundation for Archaeological Centre in Rzeszów began excavation research at 3 Maja Street in Rzeszów. It was the first such a large research work in the Old Town. Eight trenches were excavated, located at various street points. In the course of studies, the remains of the cemetery surrounding the parish church, relics of the wooden paving of 3 Maja Street with fragments of the neighbouring building walls and traces of the Early Medieval settlement were found.

In 2017, 3 Maja Street in Rzeszów underwent reconstruction. This work resulted in archaeological research carried out by the Foundation for Archaeological Centre in Rzeszów. Considering conducted discoveries, the skeleton cemetery at the parish church takes an important place. On its edge, 39 graves were discovered, with remains of individuals of different age, adults and children. What is more, numerous loose bones, randomly distributed among the skeletons were also found. At the church of the Holy Cross, three human burials sex uncovered. The bones underwent anthropological analysis, including the determination of number of buried individuals, their age, sex, and their general biological condition.

Dawną Koronę (a potem Rzeczpospolitą Obojga Narodów) i Królestwo Węgierskie łączyły w średniowieczu i epoce nowożytnej liczne skomplikowane relacje. To spe-cyficzne sąsiedztwo szczególnie widoczne są na Spiszu, w latach 1412—1772 po-dzielonym między oba państwa. W artykule przedstawiona zostały wybrane wiadomości z lustracji prowadzonej przez urzędnika Pawła Tisztę, zlecona przez władze węgierskie już po likwidacji starostwa spiskiego. Dokument z 1773 r. dostarcza licznych informacji dotyczących sytuacji trzynastu miast spiskich znajdujących się do niedawna pod polską władzą. Obok ukazania polityczno-gospodarczego tła życia codziennego poruszone zostały w nich kwestie mogące zainteresować badacza tak życia religijnego, jak i sztuki sakralnej na Spiszu: liczba wyznawców katolicyzmu i luteranizmu, pochodzenie wykształcenie i obowiązki lokalnych plebanów i pastorów, stan zachowania kościołów oraz – słabo rozpoznane w dotychczasowej literaturze – wzmianki o oratoriach wyznania augsburskiego, powstałych w starostwie za zgodą Stanisława Herakliusza Lubomirskiego. Miasta spiskie około roku 1773 r. rysują się w lustracji jako obszar zróżnicowany religijnie, którego mieszkańcy reprezentowali złożone podejście do tożsamości i miejscowej tradycji.

Historically, the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland (later the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) and Kingdom of Hungary shared very complicated realations during the Middle Ages and Early Modern period. This specific neighbourhood can be especially visible in the case of Spiš (Scepusium), in the years 1412-1772 divided between both countries. The article presents the selected information from the inspection report conducted by Paul Tiszta, ordered by Hungarian authority after the liquidation of the Scepusian capitaneatus (starostwo). Written in 1773, the document provides many records on the situation of thirteen cities, which not much earlier had been under the Polish administration. Besides showing the political and economical background of everyday life, it presents the information important for researchers interested in both Scepusian religious life and local art, concerning: number of Catholics and Lutherans, provenience and education of local parsons and ministers, condition of the church building and – almost absent in the previous literature – records on the Lutheran oratories in the cities of capitaneatus, build with the consent of Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski. In this report, Scepusian cities are presented as the religiously diverse territory which inhabitants manifested complex approach to the issue of their identity and local tradition.

Two hundred and eleven cremation graves from the Roman Period and Early Migration Period, as well as nineteen other ancient features have been discovered at a heavily damaged cemetery of the Przeworsk Culture at Żdżarów in western Mazovia1. In the top part of grave 103, dated based on the presence of terra sigillata pottery from the Dicanus workshop in Pfaffenhofen from ca 230–260 AD, a poorly visible re-cut containing one clay vessel covered with a fragment of the bottom part of another was recorded (Fig. 1:a.b, 3); no human bones were found inside2. The vessels can be dated to the 14th–15th century, possibly even to the beginning of the 16th century. A different situation presents itself in the case of a cemetery of the Przeworsk Culture at Nadkole 2, in eastern Mazovia6. In addition to 157 graves from the Early Roman Period, clear traces of various modern cuts have been unearthed. The lower part of a cremation burial pit, probably from phase B2, was found under one of them. In the cut itself, fragments of four broken and incompletely preserved wheel-thrown vessels fired in a reducing atmosphere were discovered7. The pots that have been completely (Fig. 2:a.b) or partially (Fig. 2:d) reconstructed can be dated to the beginning or first half of the 16th century. Nevertheless, the end of the 18th century, or even the middle of the 19th century in rural areas, should be considered as the upper limit of occurrence of such potteryth. The fourth vessel is a very unevenly fired bowl, with a polished pattern on the inside (Fig. 2:c). This ornament indicates that it may have been tableware. This bowl should be dated to the 14th–15th century13 or later, assuming this chronology as its lower limit. An interpretation of both pottery assemblages described is not easy. In the case of Żdżarów, it seems possible to link the finds to child burials in clay vessels, known from the late Middle Ages and Modern period. Such graves, dating from the 14th to the 19th century, are known from several sites in Poland, almost exclusively in northern Mazovia15.16. The undoubtedly intentional burials at much older cemeteries, such as the four foetal burials in three vessels dating to 14th–15th century discovered at a Lusatian cemetery at Ożumiech, Przasnysz County19, are particularly interesting. No traces of bone were found in the Żdżarów vessel; however, as it was not possible to conduct specialist analyses of the fill at the time, it is not known whether it originally covered some form of burial or whether it was related to unspecified cult practices. The precise manner in which the vessel was dug into the top part of a much older grave pit (Fig. 3) shows not only the ritual character of the deposit itself, but also the ability to recognise a burial site abandoned a thousand years earlier. The archaeological context of the vessels from Nadkole suggests that they were a secondary deposit in the cut that destroyed the grave from phase B2 of the Roman Period29. In their case, there are no reasons to associate them with child burials or assign them a cult function; nor can they be considered a remnant of a late medieval or modern settlement, as no features from that period were discovered in the examined part of the site. The pottery published here shows that local populations from the late Middle Ages and Modern period either used (Żdżarów) or at least visited (Nadkole) much older cemeteries. This phenomenon is still very poorly researched, so every similar case requires a particularly thorough interpretation, based not only on a formal analysis of the feature itself and the pottery contained within, but also on the results of indispensable biochemical studies. It is worth noting that biochemical analyses of vessel contents conducted in Germany have recently confirmed the early modern custom of interring placentas (Nachgeburtsbestattung) in clay pots buried in the basements of homes27.
