Sedimentological and geochemical research carried out in North- West Mazovia, central Poland, allowed the determination of landscape transformation in relation to the history of human settlement. The types of sediments subject to analysis included palaeochannel filling, accumulation on the river floodplain and colluvial deposits. The absolute ages of sediments and their sedimentological features allow the conclusion that the first response to human activity in the area is recorded in the overbank deposits in the Skrwa River valley as a result of the Wielbarska Culture in 200-300 AD. Subsequently, fan accumulation at the mouths of gullies started around the 12th-13th centuries AD. Frequent changes of sediment properties have been observed since the early Middle Ages. The subsequent anthropogenic impact on homogenous deposits is recorded in increased heavy metal concentration in vertical geological profiles.

Plants have always played an important role in funeral customs. To understand their true meaning, close cooperation between the archaeologist and the archaeobotanist is needed, not only during the final interpretation, but from the very beginning, at the stage of collecting materials. In the article, plants’ identification, using both pollen and macroremainsanalysis, was described, based on one of the children’s burial from the Holy Trinity Church in Byszewo (18th/19th centuries). The filling of the coffin pillow consisted of numerous hop (Humulus lupulus) macroremains, the representation of which was very low in pollen sample. This is due to the fact that only female specimens of hop were inserted into the coffin. To determine the reason for using hops in funeral practices in Byszewo, ethnobotanical data was used. The following research indicates the need for the cooperation between two methods of plant identification. It will allow misinterpretations of botanical findings to be avoided

Artykuł ma na celu zweryfikowanie, czy teza niektórych badaczy o nagromadzeniu okrągłych śladów wokół portali kościołów gotyckich, ma oparcie w stanie faktycznym. Autor dokonał inwentaryzacji ponad 160 obiektów sakralnych z terenu Polski Północnej, a następnie zestawił zebrane dane w tabelach. Podjął także próbę wyjaśnienia powodów, dla których portal był miejscem szczególnie pożądanym dla wykonywania czynności polegającej na tworzeniu śladów dołkowych. Odpowiednią interpretację oparto głównie na tekstach Biblii, która wielokrotnie podkreśla znaczenie miejsca prowadzącego ze świata profanum do sacrum. Całość rozważań wzbogacono szczegółowymi wykazami miejscowości, które autor odwiedził, w tabelach podano dokładne ilości śladów widocznych na elewacjach świątyń, uwzględniając ich usytu-owanie w odniesieniu do kierunków świata.

The aim of the article is to verify the existing thesis about round traces around ghotic church portals. The author has catalogued over 160 religious buildings from northern Poland and tabulated the gathered data. He has also made an attempt to explain the reasons for which a portal was an especially appropriate place for making pit traces. The interpretation has been based mainly on Biblical texts, which repeatedly emphasise the significance of the place leading from the profane to the sacred world. The speculations have been complemented with a detailed list of locations visited by the author and the tables specify the exact number of traces on the church walls with consideration of their geographical orientation.
