In the article I intend to describe the way in which “scientific” categories of race and class are invented and transferred into public culture and subsequently instrumented in creating and maintaining imaginaries and practices of colonial and postcolonial power relations. I interpret colonialism and postcolonialism in a very broad context, as a continuum encompassing creation and recreation of the contemporary rules and phenomena that are related to the functioning of nation-state power, which in turn is shaped, as a set of ideas, by discourses of public culture. My arguments derive from anthropological research on social mobility and are illustrated with examples from Jamaica and the USA.

The excavation research in Dziekanowice 21 (AZP 50–32/98) was conducted in 2001 and 2002. It was aimed at recognition of the prehistoric and historic settlement processes on the eastern shore of Lake Lednica. The archaeological site is situated in the area of the Gniezno Lake District, on the morainic plateau shaped during the Poznań phase of the Vistulian glaciation [Kondracki 1994, p. 93]. As a result of excavation works some traces of the late Trzciniec Horizon settlement were noted in the form of two rim fragments [Makarowicz 1998, p. 45] and also a small collection of Lusatian culture pottery, which may be dated back to the IV/VEB-HaC period [Kaczmarek 2002, p. 74, 204f.]. However, no immovable remains were discovered thanks to which the settlement could be characterized. During the research numerous traces of the Jastorf culture settlement were noted. Four immovable objects making up the remains of an open settlement were unearthed. In respect of functionality, the objects were included among the constructions built into the ground (objects 4, 5, and 9) as well as the remains of a complex consisting in a hearth (object 12) and a stone pavement which might have been a part of the sacral layout [Cofta-Broniewska 2004]. The chronology of the Jastorf culture settlement is defined on the basis of the pottery containers obtained from the 9ll of the objects and humus accumulation. Due to the typological and stylistic analysis the following dishes were separated: two-part pots (group B), bowls (group E) and mugs (group H). Yet, three-part dishes with distinctly shaped necks (group A), which are the most characteristic forms of the Jastorf culture pottery, were not observed [Machajewski, Pietrzak 2004]. Further micromorphologic as well as ornamentation analyses proved that the pottery material revealed two kinds of elements: a group of the late Hallstatt style and another referring to the beginnings of the A1 MOPR phase [Machajewski, Pietrzak 2004, p. 99]. The remaining part of the source material (an iron knife, pieces of iron items, bone stylus, and spindle whorl) offer neither a basis for specifying the chronology of the discussed settlements nor for its characteristics. In the case of the material from Dziekanowice, the existence of elements referring to the late Hallstatt period in the pottery material should be connected with cultural transformations occurring at that time when, instead of being early Pomeranian and bell-shaped, as well as of the late Lusatian groups, elements of latinized Przeworsk culture began to appear [Michałowski 2006, p. 183]. The factor latinizing the Przeworsk culture in the Greater Poland region was, namely, the Jastorf culture which transported the impulses coming from the central German areas [Dąbrowska 1988, p. 151].
