The paper analyzes the presence of the remains of ammonites and belemnites in the stones used to build the elevations of houses in modern Polish cities. The process of aestheticizing buildings is the reason for fossilized cephalopods being moved from the natural environment into urban space. I consider whether the use of such materials leads merely to making the buildings look more attractive or if this process provides an opportunity to interpret these buildings in an alternative way, which goes beyond aesthetic categories and is related to the fact that the fossils have been moved from the natural world into the cultural sphere. The limestone elements of architecture also allow one to look at the city as a unique museum of cultural and natural history.

The population of the Lusatian culture inhabiting the Lublin area during the Bronze age and Early Iron age used various items made of flint and stone. The most spectacular finds include sickles and sickles inserts with surface retouch. Items made from flint and stone were used mainly as tools, but also as weapons, as well as prestige indicators. They also had symbolic function. These artefacts were probably produced on site at settlements and they were among the accessories of everyday life of the population living then. In the Early Iron age, in the valley of the Vistula River, local flint deposits were exploited. Flint knapping workshops were set up here. Extremly numerous flint artefacts were recorded at these workshops and they represent the so-called Kosin industry.

Archaeological excavations in the Abusir South officials’ tombs have revealed several sets of canopic jars that bear traces of large surface damage and plaster patches filling the holes and chippings. Deeper research into the canopic jars of the Old Kingdom unearthed during earlier excavations in the area of Abusir yielded more examples, and therefore questions arose concerning the origins of this damage and subsequent repair. The author of the present study brings to light the so far recognized evidence and outlines several paths of interpretation. The quality of limestone used for the production of all these canopic jars was not the reason for this damage, which would have occurred during the production process. Therefore, the author comes to the conclusion that they must have been used in a kind of pre-burial activity, most probably connected with mummification. Such activity thus caused the surface chippings, and the jars must have been restored (in one case twice). Later on, the jars were put into the burial apartment – all probably empty, as a symbol of post mortal treatment of the body, which probably did not include evisceration.

The stone is a significant part of landscape, hence the common noun stone is used as a base for a plenty of anoikonyms in all languages. This paper deals with Moravian and Silesian minor place names containing Czech noun kámen ‚stone‘, in dialects ‚rock‘ too. In the first part, dialect forms of the respective names are described. Then the autor deals with struc-tural types of the names and frequency of these types. Finally variability and motivation are explored.

Przez kilkaset lat we wnętrzu cysterskiego kościoła klasztornego w Oliwie przechowywany był kamień, który uważano za skamieniały chleb oraz towarzysząca mu tablica mówiąca o klęsce głodu. Najstarsze informacje o kamieniu pochodzą z napisanej na początku XVI w. kroniki Simona Grunaua. W kronice znalazła się też legenda przedstawiająca okoliczności przemiany chleba w kamień. Na przełomie XVIII i XIX w. kamień zaginął w nieznanych okolicznościach. Tablica znajdowała się w kościele do 1956 r., kiedy została oddana do konserwacji. Jak dotąd nie powróciła na dawne miejsce. Do obecnych czasów dotrwała legenda o kamiennym chlebie, powtarzana w różnych wariantach przez kolejnych autorów.

Over several hundred of years there was a stone inside the Cistercian Abbey in Oliwa which was believed to be petrified bread, together with a stone tablet telling of famine. The earliest information about the stone come from Simon Grunau’s chronicles (Preussische Chronik) written at the beginning of the 16th century. The legend of the transformation of the bread into stone was also detailed in his chronicles. Between the 18th and 19th centuries the stone was lost in unknown circumstances. The tablet was kept in the abbey until 1956, when it underwent restoration. Since then it has not been returned to its proper place. The legend of the petrified bread has been retold in many different versions by different authors, right up to the present day.

I  conducted  my  own  ethnographic  field  research  in  1998,  2004  and  2007.  Further  field research,  from  2010  to  2012,  under  the  title  ‘Folk  Piety  and  the  Transmission  of Ethnoheritage in  Upper  Meñimurje’, was  part of  Tomo  Vinšćak’s academic  project  Sacral Interpretation  of  Landscape,  organized  by  the  Matapur  Association  and  the  Ethnological and Anthropological Department of the Faculty of Philosophy in  Zagreb. The analysis and comparison  of  the  collected materials  has  contributed  to  research  into  the  fascinating and  still vibrant  –  though  under-researched  –  survival  strategies  of  pre-Christian  and Christian worldviews in the western and north-western parts of the northernmost districts of Croatia.

The article discusses the problem of natural, traditional materials, as an important component of sustainable, ecological interior design. The threats, but also opportunities resulting from globalization and related processes are presented in the context of contemporary design. Local raw materials, that have been used in furnishing rooms for centuries, have built their identity. However, globalization and a number of processes connected with it caused, on the one hand, a move away from this tradition, and on the other hand, identification of the problem and opposing trends, emphasizing the return to the use of native solutions. Since not every natural or local material is ecological, criteria for assessing the materials from an ecological point of view have also been defined. Examined were the following groups of materials: wood, stone, wood-based materials, (such as Cork, paper, cardboard) and other materials of vegetable origin (like bamboo and other grass, wicker, rattan, palm leaves, coconut, etc.), ceramics (such as brick, ceramic tiles, traditional cotto, etc.), natural plasters based on lime or gypsum, fabrics of natural origin (such as wool, cotton, flax, silk, etc.), glass, and metals. These materials, while respecting ecological standard in the process of their production and treatment, used in a modern form, give a new quality in modern interiors, are friendly to the environment and the user. Therefore, the examples of their innovative application in interior design were presented. The article shows that the return to traditional, local materials, while maintaining modern standards and using the most advanced technologies are one of the important ways of ecological design

W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienie stosowania naturalnych, tradycyjnych materiałów, jako ważnego składnika ekologicznego projektowania wnętrz. Ukazano zagrożenia, ale także szanse wynikające z globalizacji i procesów z nią związanych (w kontekście współczesnego projektowania). Lokalne surowce od wieków stosowane były w wyposażaniu pomieszczeń i budowały ich tożsamość. Jednakże globalizacja spowodowała – z jednej strony odejście od tej tradycji, a z drugiej – identyfikację problemu i nurty przeciwstawne, kładące nacisk na powrót do stosowania rodzimych rozwiązań. Ponieważ nie każdy naturalny czy lokalny materiał jest ekologiczny, określono także kryteria oceny materiałów z punktu widzenia ekologii. Przeanalizowane zostały następujące grupy materiałów: drewno, kamień, materiały drewnopochodne, (jak korek, papier, tektura) i inne materiały pochodzenia roślinnego (m.in. bambus oraz inne trawy, wiklina, rattan, liście palmowe, trawa morska, sizal, kokos, sznurek, itp.), ceramikę (jak cegła, płytki ceramiczne, tradycyjne cotto), naturalne tynki na bazie wapna gliny czy gipsu, tkaniny pochodzenia naturalnego (wełna, bawełna, len, jedwab, itp.), szkło, a także metale. Wymienione materiały, przy przestrzeganiu ekologicznych standardów w procesie ich pozyskiwania i przetwarzania, zastosowane we współczesnej formie, dają nową jakość w nowoczesnych wnętrzach, są przyjazne dla otoczenia i użytkownika. Dlatego przedstawione zostały też przykłady ich innowacyjnego zastosowania. W artykule wykazano, że powrót do tradycyjnych, lokalnych materiałów, przy zachowaniu współczesnych standardów i wykorzystaniu najnowszych technologii są jednym z istotnych sposobów projektowania ekologicznego.

Kamienie były często wykorzystywane w codziennym życiu mieszkańców Kanaanu. Pełniły one także funkcję świadków ważnych wydarzeń w historii narodu wybranego oraz niosły ze sobą konkretne przesłanie dla ówczesnych ludzi i przyszłych pokoleń. Takim świadkiem był chociażby wielki kamień, który Jozue umieścił pod terebintem w Sychem, w związku z odnowieniem przymierza między Bogiem a Izraelitami. Kamień ten miał przypominać Izraelitom o cudownych interwencjach Jahwe w dziejach narodu wybranego, o pięknych deklaracjach, do których zobowiązali się Izraelici wobec Boga (przede wszystkim chodziło o odrzucenie kultu obcych bóstw i przestrzeganie przepisów Prawa, co miało zagwarantować Boże błogosławieństwo) oraz o zawartym przymierzu.

Stones have always been used in the everyday life of people living in Canaan. They have also served as witnesses of important events in the history of the Chosen People, carrying within themselves a certain message for people, both for those times and to future generations. An example of one such witness is the great stone which Joshua had set up under an oak in Shechem on the occasion of the renewal of the covenant between God and the Israelites. The stone was to remind them about the miraculous interventions of Yahweh in the story of the Chosen People, about solemn declarations which they had vowed to God (mostly the resignation of the worship of foreign gods and abiding by the Law, which was to guarantee God’s blessing), and about the covenant made, or renewed, on that spot.

The mythologem ‘white stone’ seems to be one of the most significant motifs in Innokenty Annensky’s poetics. In the article an attempt has been made to demonstrate a close connection between Annensky’s ‘white stone’ and the island of Leucas (Lefkada), – a famous mythological topos of Greek culture. The author proceeds from the ‘artistic semantics’ of this island (the cult od Apollo, Sapho’s legend) on the one hand, and from the concept of oblivion, strongly associated with this place (Homer, Odyssey, 24, 11), on the other.

In 2018, members of the social community „Our memory” and the Belarusian Historical Society in Białystok, after many years of searching, found in the village cemetery of the Orthodox parish of St. St. Peter and Paul in Malesze, the remains of the destroyed and forgotten grave of Maria Pietruczuk. In 2020, the Holy Synod of Bishops of the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church included her among the Martyred Saints of Chełm and Podlasie. She is the Saint of the Orthodox Church. The article presents the ideological, theological, architectural and iconographic premises and conditionings for creating the design of a new monument to St. Martyrs of Mary. The aim is to provide a worthy form of Her eternal rest, memory and prayer of the faithful. The idea of building the monument and its design were blessed by His Eminence Sawa, the Orthodox Metropolitan of Warsaw and the whole of Poland. The form of the monument refers to the temple open to the heavens. It is a system of 4 symbolic forms: a cross, an altar apse, a sarcophagus and a ambona-analogion, symbolically representing: Golgotha, the Tomb of Resurrection of the Jesus Christ and the Mary Mother of God (hierathejon), a reliquary and the stone moved away from the Tomb and Cenacle. The sequential juxtaposition of these forms and their theological and cosmological meaning tries to strengthen the spirit of this place. It builds a synthetic symbolic image of the cemetery temple in search of its path of the faithful’s eternal pilgrimage to salvation.
