Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przybliżenie okoliczności odkrycia łodzi jednopiennej wydobytej z rzeki Bug w pobliżu wsi Stary Bubel oraz prezentacja wyników badań i działań konserwatorskich, którym ją poddano. W swym opracowaniu autorzy zwracają szczególną uwagę na konieczność właściwego zabezpieczania drewnianych zabytków archeologicznych, wydobywanych z mokrego środowiska zalegania. Jego brak lub popełnione w tym zakresie błędy prowadzą do nieodwracalnych zmian struktury zabytkowych obiektów. Ich ilustracją są opisane w tekście artykułu uszkodzenia łodzi, będące wynikiem „sezonowania” zdegradowanego drewna w budynku gospodarczym. Co więcej, wysuszenie obiektu uniemożliwia lub zmniejsza skuteczność jego stabilizacji wymiarowej, która stanowi podstawę konserwacji mokrego drewna archeologicznego.

The aim of this article is to provide information on the circumstances of discovery of a log boat and its retrieval from the Bug River near the village of Stary Bubel and to present research results and undertaken conservation measures. In their article, the authors emphasize that wooden archaeological artefacts recovered from a wet environment where they lay must be secured in a proper way. Objects of historical value which are not secured or are secured incorrectly are easily affected by irreversible structural changes. Illustration of alterations described in the article are damages of the boat, which has been resulted from being “seasoned” in a farm building. Moreover, after becoming dry, an object can no longer be stabilized dimensionally or its stabilization is not effective. In the case of waterlogged archaeological wood, dimensional stabilization is the most important part of the conservation process.

Ancient coinage, almost exclusively Roman denarii from the 1st or 2nd century AD, constitutes a small percentage of hoards and other assemblages dated (with the latest coins present) to either the Middle Ages or to the modern period in the territory of present-day Poland. Such finds can be seen as strongly indicating that ancient coinage did function as means of payment at that time. This hypothesis is further supported by written sources. Moreover, ancient coins have also been recorded at other sites in medieval and modern period contexts e.g. in burial sites, which are less easy to interpret than hoards. Finds often include pierced coins and others showing suspension loops, which suggests they may have been used as amulets, jewellery or devotional medals. Other finds, such as Roman coins placed in alms boxes in modern period churches in Silesia, also point to a religious context. At the same time, written sources attest that at least since the Late Middle Ages, Roman denarii were known to common people as ‘St John’s pennies’. The name is associated with a Christian interpretation of the image of the emperor’s head on the coin, resembling that of John the Baptist on a silver platter.
