Contemporary Kernavė is a small town, located 35 km north-west of Vilnius, on the right bank of the Neris River. However, the names often used to describe the Archaeological Site of Kernavė are the “Troy of Lithuania” or the “Mecca of archaeologists” (Bitner-Wróblewska et al. 2002). The cultural landscape and numerous archaeological objects situated in the area testify to the cultures which have existed there since the Final Palaeolithic to this day. The Kernavė Archaeological Site, an area of unique archaeological and historical value, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. The interpretation of archaeological heritage is important for the understanding of the origins and development of modern society; it is also important for promoting the understanding of the need for its preservation (see Carman 2015). The paper seeks to present the Archaeological Site of Kernavė in regard to its preservation, management and interpretation.

There are about 27 early-medieval hillforts in Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Due to their good state of preservation, 16 of them could become tourist attractions. The article presents the Trzcinica hillfort as an example of a tourist product. Subsequently, its genesis, concept, and manner of implementation of the Carpathian Troy Open-Air Museum were discussed. The next step was the determination of the conditions that a site should meet to become a tourist attraction of at least regional importance. Hillforts in the following locations were discussed: Budy Głogowskie, Przeczyca, Wietrzno, and Tuligłowy. The sites were compared in terms of: location, state of preservation, and the attitude towards them of their researchers or institutions that might transform them into sites that would be as popular among tourists as the Carpathian Troy. All the analysed sites offer good conditions for potential future investments. However, the essential difference lies in the attitude of researchers, who can become involved in the creative process or remain passive. The final part of the article offers thoughts on how the analysed sites could come into existence on the tourist map of Poland.

For several decades, the Institute of Archaeology in Prague has used non-destructive geophysical methods to research fortifications. New cooperation between archaeologists and geophysicist as part of a Czech-Polish project resulted in a more systematic and targeted survey of early medieval fortifications. The results of this cooperation were presented at a workshop Use of non-destructive and destructive methods in archaeological research of early medieval hillforts, held in Prague in 2019. The mainpart of this article contains different examples of geophysical prospecting used in connection with archaeological research into the early medieval fortifications in Bohemia. Selected examples illustrate various conditions, combinations and possibilities of application of non-destructive geophysical methods. In several cases, the results of geophysical measurements can also be supplemented by the results of archaeological research or surveys.

The present study aims to put together the archaeological data known up to date about the Minice hillfort and its immediate hinterland. Archaeological sites, pottery scatters and single objects found within a four- -kilometre perimeter of the hillfort were collected and their approximate location marked on the GIS based map together with refined excavation plans from the 1970s and 1980s. The current knowledge of the site was further extended by a small -scale field survey and metal detector prospection on and around the hillfort, with the preliminary result of season 2015 and 2016 included in the text.

The hillfort of the Lusatian culture population in Wicina, dating back to the Hallstatt period, is one of the most distinguished archaeological sites in Poland. The beginnings of construction date back to 754 BC. The hillfort was destroyed in the attack of Scythians after 571 BC. Archaeological research carried out for years allowed good identification of the development structure, chronology and cultural background, and provided a giant number of objects. High historic value of the hillfort in Wicina led to a decision on the establishment of the Hillfort Culture Park in Wicina. The Hillfort Culture Park in Wicina Foundation was designated to manage the park.

In this paper, we deal with the evaluation of the finds of decorative iron knife scabbard chapes from the Pohanská fortified hill fort in Plavecké Podhradie (SW Slovakia). The occurrence of this type of chape is documented at the end of the Middle and the beginning of the Late La Tène period in the oppida of Southern Germany, Bohemia, and Moravia. The area of south -western Slovakia, in particular the Záhorie region, to which the Pohanská site belongs, was an intrinsic part of this area in the La Tène period. Based on accompanying finds, as well as the chronology of the site, we can date these objects to the period of the end of the Middle and the beginning of the Late La Tène periods LT C2–LT D1a.

The three-part hillfort in Lubomia, Wodzisław district (site 1, AZP 103-41/50) is the largest, one of the best preserved and one of the best excavated, early medieval hillforts of Śląskie Voivodeship. The aim of the authors was to integrate the archival research with the outcomes of remote sensing methods and, as a result, to supplement knowledge on the monument. The first of the applied methods was the analysis of data from airborne laser scanning (LiDAR, ALS), the second – geophysical (magnetic) research. They allowed to gather new information about the monument, and above all to discover its second, western subsidiary settlement (C). The objective has been achieved and it has been shown that the non-intrusive prospection of the site was justified, despite various independent constraints. This type of research and preservation activity should be obligatory for other archaeological sites, especially if they have a terrain form, and especially if excavations are planned. Keeping in mind that the preservation of the archaeological site in situ is nevertheless a priority.

In 2015, an interesting hillfort was discovered at Wysoka Wieś, Ostróda County, in north-eastern Poland (Fig. 1; W. Skrobot 2015, 123). It was characteristic because its yard was surrounded by 3–4 concentric lines of ramparts separated by dry moats (Fig. 2). In 2018, an archaeological evaluation of this site was conducted to acquire information about its chronology and cultural affiliation. The central and southern part of the site was strongly disturbed in the 20th century, when all the environs were cultivated for reforestation. The only remains of former habitation were discovered near the embankments, particularly in the ditch which ran along the main rampart, on its inner side, and on the main rampart itself. The relics included: a posthole located at the highest point of the embankment and loose stones – a probable paving – located in the above-mentioned ditch (Fig. 4). A radiocarbon dating of the charcoal collected from the soil beneath the stones gave a calibrated date between 542–397 BC with a probability of 91.3% (Fig. 5). The analysis of the pottery shards (Fig. 6:1–5) suggests that they can be linked with the 2nd group in the classification of ceramics of the West Balt Barrow Culture and can be dated to the turn of the Hallstatt D and La Tène A/B periods (Ł. Okulicz 1970, 24–38). These two chronologies correspond with each other and it can be assumed that the hillfort was in use during the end of the Early Iron Age and at the beginning of the La Tène Period.

There is no possibility to talk about medieval Poland without Zaremba z Kalinowy family. Nowadays Kalinowa is a small village with gothic church and the XIX century looking palace surrounded by moat and lake from a north side. In XIV or beginning of XV century first manor house was build on the island. During our excavations in 2011 we discovered that in XV century new mansion was constructed on a mainland area. Inside there were beautiful late medieval tiled stoves, and rare artefacts (i.e. axe shaped badge) mostly known from large cities like Gdańsk or Kraków. In the XVII century Kalinowa was sold to Łubieńscy family. After that they build new palazzo in fortezza residence which was totally rebuilt in XVIII and XIX century.
