In 2012, a new department of the Archaeological Museum in Poznań – the Genius Loci Archaeological Reserve – was established on Ostrów Tumski (Cathedral Island) in Poznań. The island is a unique historical space, where archaeological excavations have been underway since 1938. It is thanks to them that the scope of knowledge about the beginnings of both the Polish state and the city of Poznań has improved significantly, and the results of these works have altered historians’ knowledge. The reserve has been designed so that visitors can learn about the earliest history from the point of view of science, and accompany archaeologists and representatives of other modern disciplines in discovering the secrets of long forgotten areas of history. The structures of the perfectly preserved rampart of the Poznań stronghold and the soil profiles have been made accessible to visitors in the form of an archaeological excavation site. ith the use of multimedia, discreetly placed throughout the exhibition, the entire spectrum of information about the Piast settlement from the 10th/11th century is presented, as is the rich collection of archaeological relics collected during many years of excavations. The article outlines the reserve’s activities to date and discusses the problem of reaching out to adults who seek a deeper and organised contact with culture.

The text aims to reflect upon the notion of landscape in the context of exhibitions; more precisely, it aims to do so in relation to the musealization of archaeological heritage and presentation of archaeology. The last 30 years of museum transformations, referred to as “the age of museums,” and the digital shift in museology have had a significant impact on building archaeological narratives in museums and beyond. Immersive and telematic landscapes, currently being constructed in museums, allow for sensorial engagement, broadened perceptive possibilities, and more intense interest in archaeology with the use of complex and convincing visions of the past. Hence, the musealized landscape presented in this paper is to go beyond the traditional criticism of multimedia in museums; it is an attempt to appreciate the cognitive opportunities provided by modern archaeological exhibitions.

In 2018, an amendment to the Act on the Protection and Care of Monuments of 2003 was introduced in Poland, aimed at combating the problem of treasure hunting and its impact on national heritage. Despite the consequences, especially a potential penalty of up to eight years in prison, treasure hunting remains an attractive pastime for some. The article aims to find motives of treasure hunters through literature review and studying online forums, including a Facebook groups, to gather information for further action to protect the archaeological heritage. The author identifies seven main motivators of individual treasure hunters, which include: passion for history, adventure seeking, intellectual challenge, collecting, need for fame and recognition, personal satisfaction, and finally financial gain. Each of the above is explained and showed though treasure hunters own public admissions.

Despite the commitments stemming from the Malta Convention, archaeological contractors in Poland have no legal obligation to disseminate their research. In consequence, the vast majority of the results, in particular those of rescue excavations, remain unpublished. For the team of the Profil-Archeo Publishing House, this disproportion became a stimulus for establishing a “Saved Archaeological Heritage” publishing series open to all parties involved in archaeological heritage protection in Poland. The overarching goal of the series is to provide public access to high-quality information about the heritage being destroyed - or rather the part that has been “saved” thanks to preventive excavations (a form of conservation by record). So far, seven volumes of the main series and three volumes of the “Miniatures” series have been published. In this paper, the authors report successes and problems related to the project, and postulate legal changes that should include, in particular, the obligation to publish the results of archaeological research.

The birth of virtual reality marked a new path forward and also gave a fresh view of reality, allowing alternative ‘readings’ of cultural heritage. This new way of representation and simulation was soon associated with the term virtual environment, used to indicate those interactive three-dimensional models that could be navigated and that simulated a place, building, or synthetic representation scheme in real time. A virtual environment is like a “microscope for the mind” that allows you to elaborate amplified projections of the material world, to “look beyond” simple appearances and to make logical connections between elements grouped together. In recent years, virtual environments have been greeted positively by the public and scholars, testified by the quantity of thematic conferences on the subject of Virtual Archaeology. Despite this, there are still many contradictions found in the varying terms and the diverse aims of the developing disciplines that gravitate around the field of virtual reality such as Cultural Virtual Environment, Virtual Restoration, Virtual Archaeology, Enhanced Reality, and Mixed Reality. The spread of new media has upset the traditional systems of communication such as books, television, radio and even the roles of some cultural stakeholder. With this in mind, the role of virtual heritage also consists in transmitting information using the language and cognitive metaphors used in video-games, considering these as cultural paradigms for a form of communication that is freed from the classic rules of elite culture. It is quite frequent to find projects of digital promotion for monuments that are characterised by difficulty of access, or for objects that have been taken from their original context. One solution to enhance the accessibility of those sites is certainly the use of some visual computing technologies which without presuming to be the ultimate answer to the problems posed, try to offer communications tools that permit an effective support to the visit.

This paper sets out to present how the research results and knowledge of the archaeological heritage of the Bobolice Region were disseminated under the project ‘Non-invasive surveying of the potential of archaeological resources in the Bobolice region, West Pomerania Province’ and offers further propositions in this regard. One of the project’s essential objectives was to determine how we can use information generated through non-invasive research methods for the dissemination and popularisation of the archaeological heritage resources to the general public and how to exploit them for the development of tourism in this region of Poland. This paper provides an overview of the basic principles of the dissemination of knowledge about the cultural and/or archaeological heritage. It discusses the key initiatives in the field carried out during the project. These included a seminar, a popular science conference, lessons at schools, promotional activities and publications. Among others, the project sought to specify the possibilities for a potential use of certain archaeological structures and sites, through actions aimed at their dissemination and making them available to the general public, and a possible use in the development of archaeological tourism in the region. The recommendations presented here should be seen merely as suggestions for potential activities centred on the archaeological heritage resources in the Bobolice region.

This paper aims to conceptualize the social role of archaeology and archeological heritage in the present. First, it contextualizes the legal and doctrinal background of activities aimed at dissemination of cultural and archaeological heritage and engagement of public in initiatives around that heritage. Next, it describes main forms of outreach activities undertaken by archaeologists in Poland. Further, it presents community-oriented activities and initiatives that go beyond education of the general public about the past and archaeology and strive for engaging local communities in activities centered around archaeology and archaeological heritage. It concludes with a statement that openness of archaeology to society helps to strengthen its current social position, determines its role in the world and attributes social activities of archaeologists with a deeper meaning.

This paper aims to present how the past is viewed in contemporary cultural and social narratives, and defines contemporary attitude to the past among Poles. My deliberations are placed in the context of the present-day society/culture and their constituting processes, namely the phenomenon of forgetting the past, democratization of the past, its privatization/individualization, commodification of the past and new ways of experiencing it. The paper will specifically concentrate on the archaeological past - that is the past created by archaeologists, and on archaeological heritage. It address three crucial issues, namely: (1) how changes in the historical context of post-1989 Poland influenced the emergence the renaissance of the past and different narratives about it; (2) what are the most important and widespread forms of presenting and/or experiencing the archaeological past in the present?, and (3) what are the main motivations that lie behind contemporary Poles interest in the past, archaeological heritage and activities undertaken around it? Finally, it is argued that the changes in the people’s attitudes towards the past have led also to a transformation in the hierarchy of aims and methods in education and dissemination of the knowledge about the past within institutions concerned with the past on a professional level.

The paper discusses the issue of the use of metal detectors in Poland in its legal and practical aspects. The possession and the use of metal detectors in Poland is legal, but to search for portable monuments a permit is required. All historical and archaeological finds belong to the State. Detectorists, whose number is estimated to over 50,000, commonly break the law by conducting illegal searches and by appropriation of the discovered objects. This paper describes legal and illegal activities of the detectorist community, giving numerous examples. The authors address the issue of prospects of cooperation between archaeologists and detectorists and comment on the attempts of the latter to depreciate archaeology and the principles of modern heritage management, as well as their rivalry with professional researchers. The authors believe that archaeologists should, therefore, speak and act for archaeology and heritage, instead of accepting the views of the detectorists. The paper also presents threats to archaeological heritage resulting from illegal metal detecting, and draws attention to the problem of low social awareness regarding the rules and needs of archaeological heritage protection in Poland. Solving these issues requires multidimensional activity, encompassing education and training, as well as the consequent prosecution of crimes against archaeological heritage.

The beginnings of the collection and promotion of archaeological collections date back to the second half of the 19th century and are associated with the scientific societies operating in Toruń at that time, the German Coppernicus-Verein für Wissenschaft und Kunst (Copernicus Society for Science and Arts) and the Städtisches Museum (City Museum) and the Polish Scientific Society in Toruń and its Museum. In the interwar period, after connection the two museum collections, in the City Museum, a separate Department of Prehistory was established, and in 1948, within the structures of the then Museum, the Department of Archaeology was formed. The publication is an attempt to draw attention to the significant role of promoting archaeological heritage in museums. The article outlines selected facts related to scientific-research, popular-scientific and exhibition activities that took place in 1948-2018, on the example of the activity of one of the oldest departments in the structures of the District Museum in Toruń – Department of Archaeology.

W dyskusjach o archeologii w epoce antropocenu przewiduje się, że w niedalekiej przyszłości postępujące zmiany klimatyczne zintensyfikują migracje ludzi, zwierząt, a także rzeczy – w tym zabytków. Wobec zachodzących zjawisk społecznych, politycznych (m.in. terroryzm) i naturalnych (kataklizmy) przyszłością dziedzictwa ma być jego digitalizacja, która kształtuje współczesny obraz archeologii, wypracowującej narzędzia ratownicze w dobie różnorakich zagrożeń. Reprezentacje obiektów archeologicznych zostaną w przyszłości dowartościowane, będą bowiem stanowić remedium na ruinację i zniszczenie dotykające zarówno kulturę, jak i naturę. Owe cyfrowe zabytki już teraz mają wymiar nomadyczny – są mobilne, przeobrażające się, niestałe. Wprowadzona w artykule kategoria „nomadycznego dziedzictwa” określa dziedzictwo przyszłości powstające na bazie antropogenicznych przeobrażeń i uzasadnionego zastosowania narzędzi digitalizacji.

The presence of Anthropocene in archaeological debates leads to anticipation of heritage’s future. Theoretical archaeologists emphasize that in the near future advanced climate changes will force people to migrate with their cultural belongings. The future of heritage will be thus digitization, that shapes the current image of archaeology as a scientific practice of restoring and reviving, nowadays motivated by damages caused by political as well as natural turmoils. Digital representations will be appraised in future, because they will stand as remedies for the progressing ruination and degradation of culture and nature. Those digital monuments are of nomadic character – they are mobile, transferable, non-fixed. This article introduces a category of „nomadic heritage” as a form of future heritage, generated by anthropogenic changes and critical approach towards digitization of heritage.
