The discovery of relics initially interpreted as a glasswork from the 11th century that occurred in Kruszwica in 1953 was followed by increased interest in glassware found at excavations in Poland. Even though the later laboratory analyses from 1964 revealed that the discovered furnace was not directly connected with glassmaking, studies on production of glass became more frequent. They were conducted on two levels: 1. by institutions related to glass industry, 2. by archaeologists and historians in cooperation with chemists, physicians and technologists. The large amount of source material that consisted of glass-related finds obtained during the millennial excavations as well as establishing a research team comprised of representatives of different disciplines allowed for interdisciplinary studies on glassware and relics of glassmaking. They led to addressing theoretical foundations and methods of research on this category of finds. Numerous studies, including books and papers, were also published and a new scientific discipline, history of glass, was born in Poland.

The Icelandic sagas are a major source of information on the Vikings and their fighting prowess. In these stories, several mysterious pole-weapons appear, which are often called “halberds”, for lack of a better word. In order to better identify what these weapons could have been, and to provide a better understanding of how the sagas relate to the Viking-age events they describe, we confront textual and archaeological evidence for several of these weapons (the höggspjót, the atgeirr, the kesja, the krókspjót, the bryntroll and the fleinn), keeping in mind the contextualisation of their appearances in sagas. The description of the use of each weapon allows to pick several candidates likely to correspond to the studied word. Without a perfect knowledge of what context the authors of the sagas wanted to describe, it appears to be impossible to give a final answer. However, we show that some specific types of spears are good candidates for some of the studied weapons.

The article presents the results of the excavations carried out in relation to the planned construction of the S-3 motorway. The investigations revealed three phases of settlement of the area in the past. The older was connected with the settlement of the Globular Amphora culture and was represented exclusively by ceramic material; while the younger was formed by scarce settlement relics related to the Lusatian culture; and the youngest – relics of a settlement from the Early Middle Ages, i.e. from the 11th-13th century.

In 2018, excavations at the stronghold in Pasym in the Szczytno district continued (Figure 1). They were mainly concentrated on the area within the stronghold. Three excavations were carried out (Figure 2). Trench 1 (15 × 5 m) was situated in the western part on the extension south of Trench 1 from 2017. Excavation 2 (5 × 5 m) was located in the north-west part of the stronghold, on the slope descending towards the lake. Trench 3 (2 × 2 m) was located at the foot of the stronghold on the lake side. In total, the excavated area was 1.29 ar. Particularly noteworthy was the discovery of two large features (4 and 13) of a residential character. The results of previous studies clearly indicate that buildings of this type were located along the edge of the inner area of the stronghold. A large number of finds was recovered during the excavations: 5,082 ceramic fragments, 11,559 animal bone fragments and 121 artefacts.

Glazed pottery from the cemetery and settlement in Strzemieszyce Wielkie and the settlement in Dąbrowa Górnicza-Łosień is the subject of the analyses presented in this article. They were subjected to a technological analysis, including microscopic examination and chemical composition analyses of the glaze and ceramic bodies. The results have confirmed local production of the vessels and have shown that they were made in different workshops instead of in a single production center. Glazed ceramics from western Małopolska (Little Poland) were formed of ferruginous clays and coated with lead glazes after drying. Pottery of this kind started to be produced most probably in the middle of the 11th century, permitting this group of products to be classified as one of the earliest of its kind in Europe. The emergence and development of this branch of the ceramic craft was influenced by a convenient location on the trade routes connecting Rus with Western Europe and the nearness of lead ore deposits essential for glaze production.

Owing to dendrochronological data and archaeological finds, more than 150 strongholds from the southern coastal area of the Baltic Sea between the Lower Elbe and the Lower Vistula, can be identified as the oldest large-scale “fortification horizon” in the North-Western Slavic territories. They developed as early as in the 8th and 9th centuries. Generally, the strongholds are regarded seats of tribal elites. Owing to the rapid development of the local economy and contacts with the neighbouring cultural zones, particularly the Frankish Empire and Scandinavia (ports of trade), the strongholds evolved relatively early in the North-Western Slavic territories. This article focuses on the different aspects of the strongholds’ operations: spreading, location, layout, size, construction types, and building structures, in order to present in detail the architectural specifics of the imposing, strongly fortified ramparts. On the basis of archaeological research, the author highlights the erection of the sector fortifications and the joiningpalisade-like constructions, along with a variety of construction types and materials used. The regional differences in size and the historical-cultural background of these strongholds are also discussed.

Stronghold at Damice, situated on the right bank tributary of the Vistula – the Dłubnia River has been known since 1911. In the years 2004 to 2006 systematic excavations were carried out by the Institute of Archaeology of the Jagiellonian University. During these excavations the course of inner moats and embankments was confirmed. They divide the surface of the stronghold into 3 units. The construction of embankments dividing the interior of the embankments was recognized. It was a single line of palisades and wooden-earth wall. From the outside embankments were preceded by "dry" moat, of a width of 2.7–4.5 m and depth to 3.7 m. The two-phased perimeter embankment was also recognized. During the research a number of features of the Lengyel Culture were discovered as well as slightly less numerous Early Medieval features, most likely functioning simultaneously with embankments and moats (i.e. in the VIII-X centuries).

Recent investigations in the middle Oder region have uncovered numerous assemblages of vessels from the older phases of the Early Medieval period. This pottery is characterized by a specific set of formal, stylistic and technological traits. Finds were dated by the thermoluminescence and radiocarbon dating methods and by the dendrochronological method in singular cases. The oldest pottery assemblages were dated to the 6th c. Numerous petrographic analyses helped to determine the technology used to produce the vessels.

The paper summarises excavations and conservation works at the 12th-century collegiate church of St. Mary and St. Alexius in Tum near Łęczyca and the foundation walls relics uncovered under the church which are identified with St. Mary’s abbey, mentioned in the Gniezno bulla from 1136. The presumably Benedictine abbey could have been built around the year 1000 and was pulled down before erection of the collegiate church, which started around 1141. After several destructions and reconstructions that took place during the 850 years of existence, the church has recently undergone conservation procedures to allow its further functioning.

The article presents the results of interpretation of a part of a brass bowl unearthed in 1958 in the course of millennial excavations in Santok. An engraved ornament is visible on one of the surfaces of the sheet, the most important part of which is an outline of a bust with a head in a hat shown in profile. Three Latin characters allow to identify the image as a personification of Envy (Invidia), while the sheet itself is a fragmented, so called brass bowl representing deadly sins. The vessel were forged in Rhineland and might have been originally used for liturgical ceremonies in St. Andrew’s church and its fragmented part was uncovered in the context of a smithy as a recycled material.

The article presents the latest results of archaeological studies on the 8th-10th century hillforts in the Sudetes. The authors present previously unknown structures, found through the analysis of aerial scans using the ALS method. Excavation and office studies conducted since 2005 in the Sudetes also allowed for correcting the chronology of some previously known hillfort sites. The article also presents a discussion on the structures referred to as ‘quasi-hillforts’ and those considered to be destroyed. The findings are concluded by a summary of changes in the archaeological research of the early medieval Sudetes over the last 15 years, i.e. since the publication of the last monograph devoted to hillforts in this part of Central Europe.

The following text is dedicated to early medieval strongholds built in Mazovia between the end of the 9th and the end of the 11th c. At least 39 sites can be dated to that period, among them 14 were built in the so-called “tribal” period, while the other ones are associated with the early Piast state structures. One should emphasize the small number of “tribal” strong¬holds and their concentration to the north of the middle Vistula river. The standardized form of the oldest fortifications refers directly to the so-called Tornow type. Apparently, the first strongholds associated with the expansion of the early Piast state appeared at the end of the 10th c. in the western Mazovia and the main building activity was limited to that area until the end of the 11th c. Noteworthy, at least up to the mid-11th c. both “tribal” and early-state strongholds existed near to each other.

The text aims to draw attention to the issue of early medieval antler and bone arrowheads, rarely discussed in historiography. Tracing the history of research and bringing closer the opinions of individual researchers shows how the interpretations of these monuments in archaeological literature have changed over the years. The text discusses and characterizes the findings of arrowheads from the territory ruled by the Piast Dynasty together with an attempt to divide them into types according to thetypology of A. F. Medvedev for finds from the territory of ancient Rus. These issues are only an introduction to further research in this field.

This article deals with the interpretation of toponyms and archaeological materials from early medieval Lesser Poland that may be associated with the Hungarians or the Khazar Kabars. So far, they have most often been interpreted as traces of invasions by Hungarians – nomads (single monuments) or the operations of watchtowers they established to control the passes through the Carpathians and subjugated the local Slavic population (the so-called Old Magyar cemetery in Przemyśl) in the late 9th and1st half of the 10th century. It could have been related to their participation in the armed squads of the Piasts or the Rurikiviks, the activities of Hungarian merchants or prisoner-of-war settlements. The dating and interpreting the so-called Old Magyar cemetery in Przemyśl remains an open issue until it is fully developed and the results published.

In this paper, the authors present and discuss three early medieval hillforts: Stradów, Demblin and Szczaworyż, excavated by the former Zakład Archeologii Małopolski IHKM in the 1950’s and 1960’s in Lesser Poland. This research was conducted in order to identify and interpret their role in the formation of the Polish state, but was not a part of the Polish Millennium Project. Demblin and Stradów, as well as Szczaworyż, are often considered so-called “Great Hillforts” or “Vistulan Hillforts”, after the tribe of the same name. Stradów is the most representative and according to new data, it is one of Poland’s greatest fortified sites, covering approximately 50 ha. This paper briefly presents the history of the archaeological research, the main publications of the past and present, and future research directions on this topic. The authors conclude that the Great Hillforts from the western part of the Małopolska Upland are very important for understanding the complicated historical situation of Early Medieval Lesser Poland. Finally, a new archaeological research program is also discussed.

The article concerns the research of an early medieval fortified settlement in Horbowo-Kolonia, site 10, in the Biała Podlaska district, Lublin voivodeship (AZP 60-88/88-10). The studies were non-invasive and minimally invasive, with the use of geological probing, geophysics and archaeological remote sensing. On their basis, it was established that the fortified settlement in Horbowo is a two- rampart structure with a moat between the ramparts. The main (internal) rampart is made of one row of boxes, with a gate in its eastern part. Apart from the area from the fortified settlement, its immediate vicinity („podgrodzie”) was also examined.
