The author presents a clay artifact discovered at Zarzyca settlement in Lower Silesia and interpreted as an amulet. Together with the pendant, two thin-walled amphorae were found which demonstrated features typical for the older stage of the Lengyel culture (LC)- red and white painting. This artifact, made of clay, was an imitation of ornaments made of Spondylus gaedoropus shells. Those finds occur often in graves of older Danube cultures and are interpreted as imports and, thus, prestige goods, due to their distant provenance. They are usually connected with the LBC and were discovered e.g. in graves. A similar ornament was discovered by a dead buried together with stroke-ornamented pottery in Karsko, west Pomeranian voivodeship. So far neither pendants made of Spondylus shells nor their clay imitations have been discovered in the LC context. Thus, the discussed artifact is the first example of that type not only from Poland but from whole LC area.

The paper seeks to reconstruct the sonic environment of Lower Silesian industry exhibitions in the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century. The author draws on sources concerning the exhibitions held in Breslau, Schweidnitz, Liegnitz, and Görlitz between 1820 and 1905 such as exhibition catalogues, reports, press accounts, etc. The sound environment of the exhibitions included sound signals, songs performed at exhibition openings, and pieces composed for the exhibitions. Craft and industry products on display included musical instruments — some of them experimental — whose sound was subjected to the assessment of visitors. In addition, there was a profusion of non-music audio phenomena produced by people, animals and exhibits such as machines. Extant press accounts tell us how visitors responded to these “fascinating,” if sometimes “off-putting,” sounds.

Talcose rock used in tempering Stroked Pottery Culture vessel finds from several sites in Lower Silesia was identified in the past incorrectly as gypsum or anhydrite (Kulczycka-Leciejewiczowa 1981, p. 33). Talc is a mineral with a low thermal expansion coefficient; it was often added to pottery to increase its thermal shock resistance (Rice 1987, p. 105-106). The petrographic analysis focused on four pottery samples originating from sites Gniechowice 8 (samples GNC1 and GNC2) and Niemcza 4 (samples NMZ1 and NMZ2). The scope of analysis included: thin section studies, XRD analysis, thermal analysis. Petrographic features distinctive for talcose rock were present in all the analysed samples (relics of antigorite and rusty brown frayed (?) aggregates of chlorite) and indicate a common source of the tempering material, possibly an outcrop of ultramaphic rock found in the Hills of Gilów or in the Mount Slęża Massif.

(Title in Polish - 'Wykorzystanie budzetu jednostek samorzadu terytorialnego do realizacji koncepcji rozwoju zrównowazonego na przykladzie gmin o wysokich walorach przyrodniczych na Dolnym Slasku'). The paper presents an analysis of the dynamics and structure of budgetary incomes and expenditures of two Lower Silesian communes, having a high share of areas protected because of the great value of the natural environment. In the strategies of the two communes emphasis has been put on the necessity to observe the principles of ecological development. In 2000-2007 the incomes of the examined communes increased. The incomes of the commune Krosnice grew four times owing mainly to successful efforts to obtain financial means from EU funds. The commune's authorities have earmarked substantial amounts for investments in infrastructure, especially in facilities serving environmental protection. The budget of the other commune - Przemków, was based on the commune's own resources and subsidies, with EU means having a minimal share in the incomes. The latter fact has limited the commune's investment abilities. In the result of differences in the communes' effectiveness of obtaining financial means form external sources the annual per capita income in the commune Krosnice has grown tangibly in comparison with the average figure for the Lower Silesian region, whereas the annual per capita income in the commune Przemków has fallen, widening the gap between its development possibilities and the development potential of the remaining Lower Silesian communes.

Within the framework of its statutory informative operations the Wrocław University Library has from its beginning collected unconventional library items: Lower Silesian jobbing and occasional prints. The original collection was assembled for the benefit of the Wrocław academic community and its beginnings date back to 1945. Documents published in 1945–1946 depict in great detail the difficult, turbulent process of settlement in the Western Territories and building of a new Polish community in Lower Silesia. Jobbing and occasional prints constitute a unique part of the local cultural heritage; they are valuable and prominent reminders of local history, original sources of information and interesting research subjects for many fields of science. The collection assembled in the Wrocław University Library gives contemporary residents of Lower Silesia a sense of being “rooted” in their local homeland, and makes them aware of historical continuity and regional affiliation.

In 1947, the communist regime in Poland forcibly resettled about 140,000 Ukrainians and Lemkos from their traditional homeland in southeastern Poland to the north and west of the country (formerly German territories). This massive relocation program is known as 'Operation Vistula'. The communists' intention was to build a nation state. Over 21,000 of the deportees settled in Lower Silesia. The author discusses the principles under which the Ukrainians and Lemkos were settled in the new territories in Lower Silesia. The article is mainly based on author's own detailed archival research. It presents new data on the size and distribution of these populations in Lower Silesia and focuses on the following aspects: the distribution of the Ukrainians and Lemkos in Lower Silesia after 'Operation Vistula' in 1947, some problems with the distribution of the relocated people in 1947 and 1948, administrative resettlements in Wroclaw Voivodeship in the summer and autumn of 1948, major changes in the distribution of the Ukrainians and Lemkos population in the second half of 1948, as well as after the Polish administrative reform in 1950.

Protestant refuge churches were built in Silesian Protestant principalities, and in the borderline areas of Saxony, Brandenburg and Poland before the end of Thirty Years’ War and the signing of the Peace of Westphalia. In the most part, the churches were erected by means of adapting Catholic churches to the needs of Protestant believers, e.g. by building emporas (choir galleries), a pulpit and an altar inside the church. The acquisition of churches in Silesia was peaceful, without any violence almost everywhere, and it was not a rare phenomenon that a single church was used by two religions at the same time. At the end of the eighteenth century, there were approximately 110 refugee churches in Silesia. Currently, there are no churches of this type in Lower Silesia, and their extraordinary decoration was preserved in only a few of them. The main aim is to analyse this specific, forgotten sacral Protestent heritage, i.e. refuge churches in Lower Silesia, from the historical, sociological and architectural perspective. The main objective is to focus on the historical importance of the refuge churches in Lower Silesia – restoring identity as exemplified by the church in Großburg (Polish: Borek Strzeliński), analyse the degree to which the Protestant cultural legacy was preserved in the material rural architecture of Großburg and analyse the acceptance of the Evangelical heritage in the mentality of the local community.

The leitmotif of this publication are the words of Aristotle: 'The assessment of a house belongs not only to the one who built it but it will be judged even better by the one who uses it (...) similarly the helm will be better assessed by the helmsman than the shipbuilder. and the feast by the guest than the cook'. This view has been cited in order to recollect that for centuries the region of Lower Silesia has been passing from hands to hands, constantly changing its affiliation. Consequently, it became the site of valuable spiritual and material culture, but also has suffered enormous and irreparable losses. Until recently, the reaction to these multicultural and multiethnic features differed; today, it has assumed quite another form. At present, the purpose of numerous initiatives in Lower Silesia is care for local cultural heritage. Attempts are being made, some of them highly successful, to regain monuments of material culture of value for the region; years later, they are returning to their proper sites as missing elements of the Lower Silesian heritage. They include : - the Breviary, a liturgical book containing the texts of the canonical hours from the first half of the fifteenth century, purchased by Andreas Wirzbach. At the beginning of 2005, and with the assistance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Breviary returned from the United Kingdom to Wroclaw; - the Vit Saraval collection composed on 34 priceless Hebrew manuscripts and part of the incunabula, i. e. prints originating from prior to 1501 and restored to Wroclaw on 9 December 2004; - the 'Treasure of Wroclaw', presented to the Municipal Museum in Wroclaw on 18 May 2006 . Its acquisition would have been impossible without the magnanimity and contribution of the population of the region. The spontaneity and generosity of the sponsors express a supreme form of patronage. These valuable museum exhibits - relics of culture of the past - now take part in the construction of the identity of the region and its historical continuum.

The paper analyzes the influence of territorial partnerships (Local Action Groups, LAGs) that implement projects co-financed from the LEADER+ Pilot Programme (LPP) on the local population's social and economic activity. A comparison of selected statistical indicators in communes participating and not participating in LAGs, reveals the positive influence of LAGs on some aspects of local social activity in the communes where the LPP actions were realized. The analysis also shows that financial data from formal LAG reports, as well as some statistical data, are not a fully satisfactory measure of the LAGs activity in the context of their impact on the activity of local inhabitants.

The article looks at post-war cultural activity of the Jewish population in Lower Silesia, focusing on the activity of the organizations representing that minority. It describes the activity of a Jewish theatre, which played an especially important role for the region's Jews, and also reviews the problems of Jewish publishing businesses and their significance to the Jewish population of Wroclaw voivodship. The article also looks as the activity of Jewish clubs, first attached to Jewish committees, then to branches of the Social and Cultural Associations of Jews (TSKZ. It describes the development and subsequent decline of the activity of amateur Jewish troupes, which contributed to the life of this community in even some tiny Jewish concentrations in the region. The last segment concerns the operations of Jewish libraries, which also flourished for a period before going into decline. All the areas of the Jews' activity are presented against the background of problems affecting that community, such as emigration, manifestations of anti-Semitism, the policies of the communist authorities.

This article describes characteristics of the Jewish community, which in terms of number, was the largest in Lower Silesia created after the Second World War. Functioning Jewish schools, work and workshop co-operatives, community and cultural organisations, political parties and religious organisations (congregation of the Moses denomination — currently the name of the community) were dependent on domestic state politics and also on the international situation. Within the life of the Jewish community in Lower Silesia, it is possible to distinguish specific periods: 1945–1950, 1950–1957, 1957–1968, 1968–1989, 1989–2006 and 2006–2010. The study is an attempt to describe the community-religious dynamics of the Jews in Lower Silesia — from its prime, through times of emigration and extinction — to the first ten years of the twenty-first century which again has become a period of returning to the cultivation of Jewish identity in a spiritual and organisational sense. An important role in the organisational life of Lower Silesian Jews was played by legal regulations issued by the Polish state. Their description will also be included in the article.

Presented paper discusses results of study of Globular Amphora Culture assemblage acquired during rescue excavations carried out at Domaslaw - site 35 (Kobierzyce commune, Wroclaw district, dolnoslaskie voivodship) in 2007. Analysis based on methodological pattern inspired by research of Kuyavian GAC province is complemented by detailed analyses of bone remains and lithic artifacts - despite small size of respective assemblages results are valuable for studies on GAC in Lower Silesia. Confrontation of problem studies allowed cresting conceivably complete picture of a small - probably single-phased - GAC bearers' settlement, used in yearly (?) cycle of residential mobility emphasizing seasonal aspect of subsistence activities. Authors of the study managed to discern four functional areas of the settlement. Critical view on studies over GAC chronology in Lower Silesia is expressed. Authors suggest detailing traditional scheme of regional chronology by synchronization with other GAC provinces - mainly by study of ornaments of fairly precise horizon of occurrence, and applying additional procedures of cross-dating (in this case presented study serves as a pre-test for possibility of such conduct). Complex chronological analyses (setting chronology of the assemblage at 2700-2450 BC) were verified by absolute (radiocarbon) dating.

The aim of the paper is to determine the role of EU funds in the achievement of development goals formulated in the strategies of rural communes. For the purpose of research the authors of the paper chose five communes from the region of Lower Silesia, which have a high share of areas legally protected because of their great natural value. The activity of the communes' authorities in respect of obtaining EU funds has been analyzed and assessed, basing on budget incomes and expenditures as well as the level of indebtedness. The characteristic features of persons engaged in the obtaining of financial means from EU funds have been also determined. The opinions of the communes' inhabitants concerning the activity of local authorities in favor of development have been also gathered.
