Marian Tuszynski spent the last five years of his life in Grudziadz, where he was brought by his position as an archaeologist at the local Museum. Born at the beginning of the 20th century in Greater Poland, he belonged to a generation that did not escape the Greater Poland Uprising, the Polish-Soviet War, the Silesian Uprising and World War II. A graduate of Law and Economic Studies at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, he worked as a lawyer and judge before World War II, and after the war he did not return to his learned profession, but began further studies and became an archaeologist. In 1945, he enrolled in the Nicolaus Copernicus University established in this city, initially without defined interests, but over time with great determination to acquire a new profession. He studied two subjects simultaneously – archaeology and geography, while he simultaneously worked as a junior assistant at the Department of Meteorology and Climatology of the UMK as a lecturer in university preparatory courses. While studying archaeology, he took part (from August 1948 to July 1951) in the Torun Archaeological Expedition in Kruszwica, where he was deputy head. He was hired at the Grudziadz Museum as an assistant professor, head of the archaeology department. He quickly became involved in research activities in the city and region. This is evidenced by reports in the Grudziadz Museum Newsletter, in the local press, as well as preserved letters sent to the Conservation Office in Bydgoszcz.
