“In the light of archaeology…” means a statement or conclusion based on archaeological sources, its practice and theoretical models used in it. But the range of possibilities and persuasiveness of all such statements is very wide. A typical lack of contemporary historiographic literature is the writer’s failure to define his own research attitude. Researchers also rarely want to confront their own subjectivity and define their views before they start presenting their explanations for the topic under study. This applies to both the research attitude, evaluation and purposefulness of the sources used, the scope of using the achievements and workshop of anthropology, and the issue of the narrative nature of archaeological writing itself. The aim of this article is to discuss the need for a more substantive attention to theoretical assumptions in archaeological writing, especially in the aspect of creating a historiographic narrative in historical archaeology. While attention is put on belonging to a given theoretical trend, the issues of narrative, persuasive procedures and noticing the narrative style that is chosen are less frequently analyzed. These are very significant characteristics of a given text, as they are directly directed to the reader, i.e., the person to whom our research and conclusions are presented. This text is, in accordance with the above considerations, also a commentary on the existing state and an attempt to draw attention to the need for the most conscious approach to one’s own scientific workshop.

The paper focuses on the research perspectives of the so called Funj period in Dongola Reach. It also outlines the socio-political situation after the collapse of the Kingdom of Makuria and presents an interpretation of the processes based on the written sources. The paper also introduces the ethnic context of the middle-Nile valley, reconstructed on the basis of written sources. The sources point to an influx of Arab tribes to the lands of the Kingdom of Makuria as the main reason of the ethnic shift. The state of the archaeological research on the Funj period is presented in the second part of the paper, along with a consideration of the possible research perspectives. Among the discussed approaches in the context of the studies of the Funj period in Dongola Reach are historical archaeology, Islamic archaeology and ethno-archaeology. The last part of the paper presents regional studies as a possible way of conducting research on the patterns of the settlements and the political integration in the middle-Nile valley. The aim of the paper is an assessment of the available research perspectives and methods according to the realities of the discussed region and the availability and character of the sources.

Artykuł dotyczy badań prowadzonych od dwóch sezonów w rejonie wsi Kopaniec położonej w Górach Izerskich. Badacze wytypowali do badań gospodarstwo zanikłe po 1945 r., po którym przetrwały relikty w postaci murów i granicy zagrody wykonanej w formie szerokiego kamiennego muru. Budynek został wystawiony prawdopodobnie w XVIII w. i łączył w sobie funkcje mieszkalne i gospodarcze. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można stwierdzić, że budynek nie został zasiedlony po 1945 r. i uległ destrukcji.

The article concerns research carried out since two seasons ago in the region of Kopaniec village situated in the Jizera Mountains. For the research, scholars selected a household which was abandoned after 1945, where relics in the form of walls and extremities of the enclosure in the form of a wide stone wall have been preserved. The building was most likely constructed in the 18th century and combined residential and agricultural functions. On the basis of the conducted research, it can be concluded that the building was not inhabited after 1945 and was destroyed.
