W opracowaniu wskazuje się na potrzebę zróżnicowanego traktowania herbu i gmerku mieszczańskiego jako zupełnie różnych zjawisk. Gmerki pełniły funkcję znaków indywidualno- -tożsamościowych, którymi znakowano należące do posiadaczy gmerków ruchomości, domy, zwierzęta itp. Potwierdzały one jakość i autentyczność zbywanych towarów. Ich upowszechnienie w różnych częściach Europy nastąpiło w XVI i XVII w., ale najwcześniejsze na ziemiach polskich pojawiły się już w XIV w. Gmerk jako znak utrwalony w formie linii, kresek bądź różnych figur geometrycznych bez względu na to czy był umieszczony na tarczy, czy w polu pieczęci, stanowił znak indywidualno-tożsamościowy, a zatem był znakiem ściśle personalnym, natomiast sygnet z godłem figuralnym, wyrażonym m.in. w postaci narzędzi pracy był pieczęcią herbową. Herb symbolizował przynależność jego posiadacza do rodziny. Rycina 1 prezentuje gmerk z kompozycją belkową, a rycina 2 przedstawia stempel pieczęci herbowej z godłem figuralnym w formie narzędzia pracy. Oba zabytki wyeksplorowane zostały w Gdańsku przy ul. 3 Maja 8 w trakcie ratowniczych badań archeologicznych.

Although alembics, erstwhile distilling-apparatus, are deeply rooted in Polish traditional culture, they have not been yet analysed separately. Ceramic and glass alembics, rarely being discovered during excavations within Poland, are also seldom published. Therefore using Western European studies seems to be necessary to amend that state of being. The case study on distilling-apparatus from France and Great Britain, which was used in the article, has been compiled by S. Moorhouse and N. Thomas. They presented morphologic traits of the devices: vaporizer – distilling-base or cucurbit used for heating the raw material, and alembic – a still-head with collecting-channel and spout. The authors also described industrial, kitchen and alchemical use of the devices. Based on the morphological traits, 3 types of ceramic and glass alembics were established, and presented in the article. Article uses findings already published, focuses on preliminary issues and is an attempt on introducing the reader to the matter of former distilling-apparatus. Amongst sources published in Poland one should distinguish graphics from Marcin Siennik’s Herbarz, to iest ziół tutecznych y zamorskich opisanie, Polish 16th century herbarium, fragments of pottery distilling-base from the knight’s stronghold from Mymoń, Podkarpackie Voivodeship and alembic from castle in Puck, Pomeranian Voivodeship. The latter, although ceramic, represents advanced type of distilling-apparatus with an external cooling system – removable pipe, placed in the barrel with water. Amongst instalations associated with alembics, one should mention special furnaces (athanors), ember dispensers and receivers for distillate. Another fact worth mentioning is that distilling-apparatus could be luted with a special alchemical clay, recipe of which is known from Renaissance herbarium by Marcin Siennik. Alchemical utensils were frequently placed in a separate room, especially in pharmacies and distilleries. Distilling-apparatus, artefacts heretofore neglected in Poland, could help in development of studies in the history of chemistry and complement an image of cultural space in pre-industrial Central Europe.

Striped flint is a unique mineral occurring only in a few communes bordering the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. In the Neolithic Age and in the early Bronze Age, intense primeval settlement developed in the region in connection with the use of this raw material. Within the area of its outcrop, numerous mines, production and dwelling settlements were built and functioned with varying intensity for hundreds of years. A unique complex of striped flint mines and related excavation and processing infrastructure was established in Krzemionki, where around four thousand mine shafts with various constructions and of various widths and depths as well as relics of flint production workshops, shaft protection structures and waste heaps have survived till now. It is the best preserved and biggest mining complex from the early Stone Age in the world, and currently has historic monument status. Krzemionki and other primeval archaeological sites connected with the excavation and utilisation of striped flint have been endangered by destruction due to the illegal exploitation of flint over the last few years. Striped flint has become an extremely fashionable and desirable type of material for the production of souvenirs, decorations and jewellery, and the demand for it is still growing. This article presents the legal possibilities to control the illegal acquisition of striped flint in connection with applicable provisions of Mining and Geological Law and its legal status as a mineral.

The National Heritage Board of Poland continues directly the activity of the first institution dealing with the collection, elaboration and popularisation of knowledge on historical monuments in Poland – the Centre for Documentation of Monuments, which was established in 1962. The organisational structure of the institution evolved, but among its priority tasks there were still documentation-related works: collection, elaboration and making available of the record of monuments in the form of record documentation and legal documentation of all registered monuments. The department which has carried out these tasks in a virtually unaltered manner is the current Monument Record and Register Department. The current tasks of the Department include also the elaboration of documentation standards, preparation of the record, keeping of the register of monuments and training of conservation services in this respect. Currently we are also supervising the performance of the monument register verification project – the description of the resource of monuments in Poland. These activities make it possible to provide successive generations with knowledge on the material culture of our ancestors, on authentic, transformed or defunct objects, complexes of objects and the cultural landscape. Our documentations are used in scientific studies and research works and constitute a basis for conservation projects. They are used for restoring the destroyed and defunct objects that constitute a significant element of national heritage. The Monument Record and Register Department collects, elaborates and provides access to knowledge on monuments in Poland in a continuous manner (under various names). MRRD collects duplicates of the documentation of monuments forming a part of the collection of the national record of monuments, which is elaborated for the needs of voivodeship conservators and by voivodeship conservators of monuments, that are sent to NHBP. The record as a form of documentation dates back to the middle of the 18th century and its legal grounds were established in 1928. The following record documentations are kept in the Monument Record and Register Department (amount as at 31.12.2011): • record cards of monuments of architecture and historic buildings (138,304 items, including 104,420 white cards and 33,884 green cards), • address cards of monuments (650,000), • records of historic greens (9,249), • record cards of cemeteries (25,367), • town planning files (1,274), • cards of movable monuments (371,876), • record cards of movable monuments of technology (9,710). Other forms of record documentation being used currently are the communal record of monuments and record lists of monuments. The regular updating of the list of shortages is one of the elements of the keeping of the central record of monuments in the activity of MRRD. Many activities concerning the documentation of monuments are performed in accordance with the well-established tradition. The challenging process that is necessary to carry out is the digitalisation of collections of the record. The central register of monuments has been kept as a primary form of monument protection since 1962. The Department maintains a uniform database system, which is understood as a specially developed kind of software (Multiarch). The database of objects entered into the register of monuments that is kept in NHBP is the only database in Poland that encompasses all legally protected non-movable and movable monuments. The verification of the register of nonmovable movements is an important task co-ordinated by the Monument Record and Register Department, which has been carried out by Local Divisions of NHBP since the end of 2008. Long-term plans of verification of the register of monuments apply to movable monuments, too. In practice, the performance of the main aforementioned tasks is often connected with additional activities, part of which is a consequence of the employees’ own initiative, knowledge and commitment as well as identification with the 50-year tradition and achievements of NHBP’s predecessors.
