The objective of this article is to present migration flows from Poland to Norway. It begins with the short description of Norway as an immigration country. Next, it discusses the growth of Polish community and its social and demographic characteristics. Poles are the largest immigrant group in Norway, standing at more than 100,000 people. A special attention is given to the unfavourable working conditions for Poles in the Norwegian labour market. The article concludes with a summary referring to the main findings and an attempt to outline potential directions for future research.

The basic concept of the function of the Archaeological Information System (AIS) is the following: A GIS (Geographic Information System) is integrated into the virtual research environment of the AIS and allows access to external and internal databases through the Internet or intranets. The AIS is utilised for visualisation, analysis, and finally publication of heterogeneous archaeological data (site registries, excavation plans and reports, and photographic records) through the integration of additional open-source tools. This article investigates settlement patterns and the conception of settlement spaces west and east of the lower Oder from the Late Roman Iron Age until the Early Middle Ages. All relevant data from archaeological finds and natural features are condensed into the AIS and analysed as a case study on the use of experimental design of the developed AIS. A pattern of discrete settlement clusters containing multiple individual settlements was identified during the Late Roman Iron Age. These clusters lay exclusively in areas with high natural potential for crop cultivation and animal husbandry. The borderlands demarcating these clusters are partly infertile and partly fertile, indicating that the agricultural potential of the landscape was not wholly responsible for the location of these clusters, but rather that this was done in a planned fashion and based on social concepts. Considerable emigration out of the Oder region occurred in the Migration Period, reaching its high point in the late fifth century A.D. and resulting in a broad desettled region in the sixth and early seventh centuries. First the settlement clusters underwent a process of concentration and only those in optimal natural resource surroundings could continue to exist. Not until the second phase do these clusters dissolve and for a brief time there were only individual settlements lying far away from one another. Interestingly, the repopulation of the Oder region during the Early Middle Ages in the eighth century initially copied the old pattern of discrete settlement clusters. Following the first consolidation phase however settlement formation of the Oder region at the end of this period in the ninth and tenth century was widespread and the previous spatial concept of discrete settlement clusters abandoned.1

Podstawowe założenia funkcji archeologicznego systemu informacyjnego (AIS) są następujące: GIS (geograficzny system informacji) jest zintegrowany z wirtualnym środowiskiem badawczym AIS i umożliwia dostęp do zewnętrznych i wewnętrznych baz danych przez Internet i Intranet. AIS służy wizualizacji, analizie i wreszcie publikacji heterogenicznych danych archeologicznych (spisów stanowisk, planów i raportów z wykopalisk) poprzez zastosowanie dalszych narzędzi z otwartych zasobów. Prezentowany artykuł poświęcony jest rozważaniom nad wzorcami osadniczymi i konceptem przestrzeni osadniczej na zachód i wschód od dolnej Odry od późnego okresu wpływów rzymskich do wczesnego średniowiecza. Wszystkie istotne informacje o znaleziskach archeologicznych i naturalnych cechach krajobrazu zostały razem zestawione w oprogramowaniu AIS i przeanalizowane jako studium przypadku. W późnym okresie wpływów rzymskich stwierdzić można obecność wyodrębniających się wyraźnie zespołów osadniczych, na które składa się po kilka osiedli. Skupiska te położone są wyłącznie na obszarach o dużym potencjale gospodarczym, zarówno z punktu widzenia uprawy roślin jak i hodowli. Rubieże tych skupisk, i przestrzenie między nimi to jednak po części tylko obszary o małej żyzności, co świadczy tym, że uwarunkowania gospodarcze były tylko jednym z czynników wpływających na takie właśnie rozmieszczenie osadnictwa i że istotną rolę w tym względzie musiały odgrywać również czynniki społeczne. Znacząca emigracja z ziem położonych w dorzeczu dolnej Odry ma miejsce w okresie wędrówek ludów, osiągając apogeum w V wieku naszej ery i skutkując trwałym wyludnieniem w szóstym i początkach siódmego stulecia. Proces ten przebiega w dwóch fazach. Początkowo następuje koncentracja osadnictwa połączona z zanikiem całych skupisk osadniczych leżących na gorszych z gospodarczego punktu widzenia terytoriach. Następnie dochodzi do zmniejszenia się gęstości zaludnienia w tych skupiskach, które wciąż funkcjonowały. W rezultacie sieć osadniczą tworzą pojedyncze stanowiska, położone w dużej odległości od siebie. Interesujące jest to, że w początkach powtórnego zasiedlania dorzecza dolnej Odry – w ósmym wieku – sieć osadnicza kopiuje starszy wzorzec z wyraźnie wyodrębnionymi skupiskami osadniczymi. Dopiero w IX i X wieku, wraz ze wzrostem gęstości zasiedlenia, model ten zostaje porzucony i zacierają się granice pomiędzy skupieniami osadniczymi.

This article brings an up -to -date evaluation of the archaeological research in the core of the Bactro -Sogdian borderlands, i.e., in the vicinity of the Darband Wall, Baysun District, southern Uzbekistan, including the most recent results of the fieldwork of the Czech -Uzbek archaeological expedition. These are combined with the fruits of the efforts of other local and international teams busy in this region for the last twenty years in a spatiotemporal assessment. Building upon the lack of evidence, the author argues against the identification of the selected locations in the region as places where the events connected with the invasion of Alexander the Great took place. We also show that the area of the Baysun District including Darband was for the first time in history settled in the Seleucid / Greco -Bactrian period. The original function of the Darband Wall itself was most probably related to an event preceding the campaign of Antiochos III to Bactria and the presumed threat of nomads.

The subject of the research covers the problem of morphological changes in former villages incorporated into the city on the example of Łódź. The first objective of the article is to analyse the urban development of the city, taking into account the territorial changes and incorporation of villages. The second objective includes the analysis of morphological changes in former villages that have taken place after their incorporation into the city since the mid-twentieth century. The study required analysis of source materials in the form of preserved historical maps and today’s plans, legal acts, planning documents and chosen statistical data. The analysis of changes in the spatial structure of villages incorporated into the city was possible mainly thanks to the retrogressive, as well as progressive method. The article also uses the method of morphological analysis of the city plan based on the Conzenian tradition of urban morphology. The study applies the typology of rural settlement patterns, taking into account the issue of morphological changes and relics of morphological features from the period before the incorporation into the city. It is characteristic that the transformation process of rural settlement patterns took place in different ways and with various intensity depending mostly on the scale of urbanisation processes. It was possible to distinguish the orthomorphic transformations, where all spatial modifications were mainly additions and did not destroy the morphogenetic core, so the former layouts have been preserved almost completely, semi-metamorphic transformations, where spatial reorganisation was considerable, but not total, and clear relics of the historical rural settlement pattern have been saved, and metamorphic transformations, in which almost all elements of the former morphological structure have been completely erased and the former layouts have been totally changed.
