One of the most interesting artifacts obtained from a multicultural site at Beszyn was a small zoomorphic gurine. It is highly probable, that this artifact could be connected with the Lusatian culture. The gurine, despite being in a good state of preservation, has few anatomical details, which would allow for the identication of the species of animal. It seems that the artifact under consideration is a schematic representation of a cow or a bull, but may not have been connected with the sphere of beliefs of its producers. To determine the material of which the artifact was made it was subjected to specialized metallographic analyzes. The obtained results turned out to be very interesting. In the available metallographic database, as well as in the literature it was unsucessful to nd an object of similar chemical composition. The analyzes showed that the artifact was made of tin and lead bronze. The copper alloy used seems to be unprecedented because of its iron, silver, and manganese contents, which occur in the case of iron alloys, not copper ones. These are supplements that raised corrosion resistance of the alloy. It should be emphasized that in modern and medieval alloys no analogical chemical composition was found, which together with the forms of corrosion sediments indicates its early origin – a long period of the artifact’s deposition in soil.

A multicultural site of Smólsk 1, Włocławek commune was subjected to a rescue archaeological excavation prior to the construction of the A1 motorway. Archaeological investigations were conducted by a team from the Foundation of the University of Lodz. An area of 2,37 ha has been excavated, and 618 features were recorded. In the area of segment C relics of a cloche grave cemetery were discovered, on which 11 graves were registered, clearly concentrated in the south. All the burials are individual graves without structures or kerbstones. Among them there were 9 cloche graves, 1 pit grave, and 1 urn grave. An observed element of the funeral ritual is covering the urn and cloche with the remains of the stake. Grave goods included fragments of urns and cloches, a swan-neck pin and occasional burnt fragments of preserved bronze and glass decorations. The pottery represented typical forms characteristic of cemeteries of the Cloche Graves culture. On the grounds of an anthropological analysis it has been determined that the dead were young individuals. Three female burials and 2 male ones were identied, in the other cases the sex was undetermined. Settlement nds were recorded on the entire site. A clear concentration of the pits was registered about 100 m to the west from the above described cemetery. These features did not disturb the cemetery space, and were located on its circuit, sometimes at a considerable distance. 63 features have been identied, including post-holes, pits and the remains of a building. On the grounds of the artifacts obtained both from the cemetery and from the settlement objects, the period of use of the complex corresponds to HaD and the older pre-Roman period.

Site 15 in Mąkolice, Głowno commune, is located in central Poland, on the Łowicz-Błonie Plain. The majority of obtained archaeological sources are related to the settlement of the population of the Przeworsk culture. The most interesting features include relics of structures of two post buildings – a long house and an accompanying building, discovered in the southern part of the settlement. The most important stage of the settlement can be linked to the C2 – D1 phase.

The present articles covers the results of archaeological excavations at the sites Renice 5 and 6 (AZP 40-09/72 and 73), Myślibórz commune, zachodniopomorskie voivodeship. The investigations led to the discovery of relics of the Neolithic settlement of the late Linear Pottery culture and the Funnelbeaker culture. The most interesting discoveries include Neolithic tombs, whose only relics are foundation furrows. Moreover, scarce traces of settlement of the Globular Amphora culture and the Corded Ware culture (the Odra River group) were recorded. The most relics represent the Lusatian culture from the end of the Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age – the HaD phase. The site also recorded relics of settlement from the Early Middle Ages (10th-13th century) and the Late Middle Ages and early modern period (18th to early 19th century).
