In the course of excavations carried out on site 1 in Prusak the remains of an early medieval settlement from the previous phases of early Middle Ages was recorded. These were ground relics of residential features and accompanying traces of utility features in the form of pits, used primarily to store and process food. They created recurring, mutually differing binary systems interpreted as homesteads inhabited by nuclear families. It was assumed that they were created at different times, which was confirmed by the analysis of formal features of ceramic sets. Ceramics collections coming from the above mentioned systems were treated just as monuments obtained from compact sets. Also the production zone was distinguished, consisting of wood-tar pits and accompanying residential buildings. It functioned in the period between leaving the first complex of homesteads and creation of the second. It was preceded with a quite long settlement hiatus, during which trees grew that were used for the production of wood tar.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth century in the vicinity of the village of Górzec was found a set of artefacts probably representing scattered treasure from the beginning of the Migration Period. Such deposits are an expression of the rapid changes in the circulation of capital and the perception of value in this period. The influx of large quantities of gold and changes in silver’s value resulted in rapid changes in the status of various groups and individuals. An unstable social hierarchy is a prerequisite for the existence of the phenomenon of the potlatch, i.e. the ostentatious consumption or removal of goods from circulation. It seems that the deposits of the Migration Period should be considered this way. In 2010-2011 in the area of Górzec, excavations were undertaken. The aim was to discover of the remains of settlements from the time of the deposition of the treasure. As a result of this work, the existence of a settlement from phase D-D2 of the Migration Period was revealed. Hence, it is most likely that it is slightly younger than the treasure, but this is still open to question.

The results of excavations on site 1 at Kurzątkowice, Oława dicstrict, make a very essential contribution to the studies on La Tène culture settlements on the area of modern Poland. Unearthed at the above mentioned site were relics of a small La Tène culture settlement in form of settlement features typical for that time, such as a shallow pit-house, pits of various purpose, clay-pit or pottery kiln. The material, found inside of these features, consisting almost exclusively of vessel pottery, indicates that the features may be dated to the early La Tène period. The importance of these discoveries is emphasised by the fact that the above mentioned features at Kurzątkowice are up till now the only known settlement features of La Tène culture on modern Polish lands which may be dated to phase LT B1-B2. Many attributes of the pottery workshop registered at Kurzątkowice indicate that the Celtic settlers from Lower Silesia were closely related to the lands of central Danube river basin, particularly to the area of Moravia.

Specialist analysis of ceramics helps to identify the raw material used for their production and to determine whether the material was chosen deliberately for its specific parameters. The present study of Neolithic vessels and of sampled raw materials has shown that Linear Pottery population tended to use plastic Miocene clay, but silty alluvial loam was equally popular. A comparison between the types of vessels and ceramic bodies has proven that thin-walled vessels were more often made of material with a high content of grains of silty fraction, while thick-walled vessels were usually shaped from heavy clay. This suggests that there were certain rules to be observed when preparing the paste, despite the local diversity of raw materials

During archaeological supervision carried out in 2010 and 2011 around John Paul II Square in Ciechanów remains of the building complex of the mid-market-square block were excavated. The scale of the research is unprecedented among historic towns founded in Mazovia. Relics of the foundations of the brick town hall, the weigh or the cropping house as well as a series of the relics of light wooden structures – probably stalls or butcheries, forming a quadrangle of the compact building block in the central part of the square, were recorded. The study of portable finds indicates that the town hall and the accompanying buildings were probably erected in the 16th century and they ceased to exist after mid-17th century.

Archaeological research on site 1 in Bytkowo, Rokietnica commune, was carried out in 2010 as part of the works preceding the construction of a western section of the Poznań bypass. 1738 items, mostly related to settlements of the Lusatian culture, were discovered on the area of 295.77 ares. Relics of an early Slavic settlement were unearthed in the southern end of the excavated area; they consisted of 17 residential and outbuildings buildings located on the western slope of the Samica River valley. They constituted a continuous line of structures with the length of 110 m and the width of 18 m, stretching transversely to the valley. 1105 fragments of earthenware vessels, 687 fragments of drying pans, 105 animal bones, an iron spur with inward hooks, and a fragment of an iron sickle were acquired from the fills of the settlement pits. On the basis of the portable monuments, it was established that the discovered part of the settlement dated back to the 8th century.

The article presents the formal diversity of the Early Medieval vessels from Wiślica. The vessels were described by means of proportions of dimensions and stylistic features, treated as nominal variables, which became the basis for statistical analysis (cluster analysis and principal components analysis). The measurement scheme is presented in figure 2. Based on the obtained results, vessels have been divided into 8 types. The first four ones included pots with a S-shaped profile. Other types consist of vessels with one, more visible element, i.e.: there are vessels with a cylindrical neck in type V, vessels with a long, straight neck, with a strongly flaring rim in type VI, vessels with an angular connection between the neck and the body, marked with a fault are included in type VII, and double-conical vessels are in type VIII. What is more, an attempt has also been made to trace the relative chronology of pottery vessel types, based on stratigraphic relations observed at the sites, where they were excavated. In the case of vessels type VI-VIII, it allowed us to determine their most probable period of occurrence. Other vessels belong to long-lasting forms.

This study presents the results of examinations of 21 fragments of ceramic vessels from Zagórze site 2, Niepołomice commune. These vessels date back to the older, Zofipole phase of the Linear Band Pottery Culture. Results of the analyses indicated that most vessels were made of a local alluvial raw material. Some vessels were made of a different raw material which demonstrates a lot of features convergent with vessels found in Mogiła (Cracow) and Modlniczka, Wielka Wieś commune. Technologically, all examined vessels do not divert from previously established basic types of ceramic mass. Interdependences between the types of ceramic mass and morphology, and the function of vessels observed in the classic phase of the Linear Band Pottery Culture have not been confirmed in the studied assemblage of vessels.

Ceramic materials may have multifarious applications, the visual arts being one of them. Furthermore, they have been often used in architecture for decorative purposes. In Poland, the application of ceramics in architecture reached its peak of popularity in the post-WWII period. It was used in mosaics, reliefs, architectural and sculptural details, as well as combined with other materials, like glass or stone. Ceramics was applied for creating various small decorative forms but also large compositions that covered even several dozen or several hundred square metres, in buildings that served various functions, and were situated either indoors or on their external facades. Amongst these, there are buildings which were both important for local communities and became landmarks for particular sites, like modern hotels, railway stations, theatres, museums or academies. The paper is focused on compositions executed for such prestigious edifices.

This study is based on archaeological sources: a group of cesspits from houses along the north and west sides of the 3rd courtyard of the Prague Castle. A combination of historical plans, written and archaeological sources makes it possible to date all of the studied cesspits with a high degree of accuracy. The find assemblages are to be dated to different decades of the second half of the 15th and the first half of the 18th century. Analyses of the cesspits indicate a differentiated social milieu. Church dignitaries created lavish assemblages. Individual luxury items appeared in the milieu which we associate with the imperial court and several of its officials. Also represented is a cesspit from a common environment (owned by a blacksmith). Whether the higher proportional representation of pans, bowls, and bottles indicates the operation of an inn in Vikářská Street, we do not know.

The report offers an account of archaeological and conservation work carried out at the site. Excavations in the central part of the site (Sector F) were continued for the fourth season in a row. Exploration of remains of early Roman houses led to the discovery of a well preserved multicolored triclinium mosaic floor with a floral and geometric design. A large assemblage of fragments of polychrome marble floor tiles, recorded in the house collapse, showed the scale of importation of decorative stone material from various regions of the Mediterranean. Overlying the early Roman strata was direct evidence of intensive construction work carried out in the vicinity in the form of large-scale kilnworks, supplying lime most probably for the building of the late Roman bath and cistern. Included in the presentation is a brief review of the limited conservation work that was conducted in the complex of late antique auditoria.

In the context of the long discussion on the (non-)existence of permanent Corded Ware culture (CWC) settlements and the semi-nomadic way of life of their inhabitants, ongoing excavations of common settlements have newly gained immense significance, as in almost all other regions, also in Moravia (Olomouc-Slavonín, Horní lán; Vřesovice; Seloutky; Hulín-Pravčice 1; Prostějov, Za tržištěm). Earlier sporadic indications have been joined by a series of records of settlements with sunken features and typical local ceramics identical with burial grounds, together with which they formed complete settlement areas in a number of sites. Light wattle structures, wells(?), textile production, animal husbandry, etc., have been identified, as were some very unconventional inhumation burials in pits (Olomouc-Slavonín, two cases). The cord element clearly formed a part of the mixed horizon of Strachotín-Držovice with elements of Makó/Kosihy-Čaka culture, Globular Amphora culture and Moravian Group of CWC. Absolute dating indicated the 26th–23rd century cal. BC. Absence of foundations of (residential) structures could be explained by the lower level of recognisability of CWC settlements. In other aspects, it showed no particular difference from other prehistoric farmers and cattle breeders.

The article presents the results of research into an early medieval burnt offering grave field inMyszęcin, Świebodzin county. The field contained pit graves, some of which are reminiscent ofthe Alt Käbelich-type graves popular especially in the north-western part of theWestern Slavic Territory. On the basis of artefacts discovered in the grave pits and on the surface of the grave field, primarily as a result of an analysis of ceramics, the graves can be dated back to the mid-8th and the 9th centuries.

In South Moravia, a sect of Anabaptists lived in the past, who were a product of the 16th-century reformation. The Anabaptists took a refuge in the Moravian environment that was tolerant of various religions, and they arrived in 1526 for the first time there. They lived in accordance with their principles in the farmsteads they founded in Moravia, and they practised a lot of crafts at an advanced level. Moravian lords admitted them helpfully at their domains. However, after 1622, the Anabaptists as non-Catholics were forced to leave their Moravian settlements. Most of them went to their brothers in today‘s southwestern Slovakia, where they continued their activities until the local Anabaptist communities fell apart. The one-hundred-year long activities of the Anabaptists indisputably contributed to the economic development of Moravia. The Anabaptists also left carefully written chronicles, literary works, spiritual songs and inspiring system of education behind them. However, it is the faience pottery that became the most tangible proof of their activity. Anabaptist faience expresses a level of handicraft at that time. The production of faience became a basis on which the production of peculiar folk pottery grew, which is an inherent part of folk culture in Moravia and Slovakia.

Stanisław Gąsienica Sobczak (1884–1942), a sculptor educated at the Fine Arts Academy in Cracow and at École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris came from Zakopane highlander family. He was the pioneer of ceramics in the Podhale region. Since the second half of 1920s’ he created ceramic sculptures, figures and vessels which were displayed at numerous exhibitions. Most of his work was traditional in nature. Folk design and regional themes became his main sources of inspiration. Even after WW II, when Wojciech Łukaszczyk took over Sobczak’s ceramic studio, these tendencies remained important.

Był pionierem twórczości ceramicznej na Podhalu. Od drugiej połowy lat 20 XX w. tworzył ceramiczne rzeźby, figury i naczynia, i pokazywał je na licznych wystawach. Większość jego prac miała tradycyjny charakter. Artysta z reguły nawiązywał do ludowego wzornictwa i regionalnej tematyki. Te tendencje uznano za ważne także po zakończeniu II wojny światowej, gdy pracownię Sobczaka objął Wojciech Łukaszczyk.

Decorative motives known from the Chinese blue-and-white porcelain began to appear massively on Persian ceramics between the 14th and 17th century. Interestingly, the initial role of adaptations being a substitute for an expensive original became something more – a source of inspiration for making new vessels decorated not only in cobalt blue but also in colorful slips. The article is dedicated to an analysis of Persian adaptations of Chinese kraak porcelain made during the Safavid period (1501-1732). Due to the fact that the process of adaptation was very complex and there is no 1:1 copy of a kraak dish in Iran, author in her research has to focus on comparing individual motifs instead of the whole vessels. She introduces new categorization of the adapted designs and divides them into 4 groups depending on how close they resemble the Chinese origi nals: in group 1 called literal adaptations the motifs are most similar to the originals; in group 2 named edited adaptations are those that have an element added or taken away; in group 3, altered adaptations, the designs undergo changes in style but still bear the basic characteristics of the originals; in group 4, free adaptations, are those that only resemble the Chinese ones.

Archaeological excavations at site 7 in Skwierzyna, loco commune, Międzyrzecz county, lubuskie voivodeship, were carried out in 2008 by K. Gawlik of the Scientific and Conservation Centre PKZ Ltd. in Poznań. The investigations embraced 112.7 ares, which provided the possibility to record relics of a manufacturing-storage settlement of the Lusatian culture dated to the 5th period of the Bronze Age and the Hallstatt period C. A total of 474 have been explored, with 245 containing relics related to the settlement of the Lusatian culture. 7717 artefacts were acquired, largely rather small fragments of ceramics, of which 5807 originated from feature fills. Other recorded items are: 4 small fragments of animal bones, 21 items of Baltic flint, among which the following were differentiated: 2 single-storey cores, 2 blades, 15 flakes and 2 end-scrapers, as well as one fragment of an unidentified bronze item, possibly of a necklace or bracelet.

It is often assumed that the Hellenistic pottery production in Bactria was highly influenced by Mediterranean ceramic shapes, a process, which was mainly caused by the settling of Greek immigrants. Nevertheless, the implementation of new pottery shapes is the result of a local transformation process, that had already begun before the Macedonian conquest. The first evidence of Greek -Mediterranean shapes and decoration techniques, which were produced in Bactrian pottery workshops, are dated to the Greco -Bactrian phase, most likely to the 2nd century BC. Since their number is limited in relation to the whole pottery collections, the assumed Greek influence should not have been too significant. Throughout the early Hellenistic phase (late 4th and 3rd centuryBC) new pottery shapes and techniques were introduced in Bactria, like the so -called fish -plate, which are thought to mark the Greek -Mediterranean influence on the local pottery production. Because of their morphological differences to Mediterranean types, these shapes cannot be identified as a Greek -Mediterranean vessel. Only with the emergence of the Greco -Bactrian dynasty does a Greek influenced pottery production appear to become observable at a few sites, mainly in Ai Khanoum (2nd century BC). One of these shapes is the mould -made relief bowl, also known as a Megarian bowl. It was produced first in Athens at the end of the 3rd century BC and appears in Bactria probably not earlier than the 2nd century BC. But the most frequent vessels stand in the local tradition, like the so -called Bactrian cup -bowl and attest the actual character of the Bactrian pottery. Consequently, the assumed strong Greek influence on the Bactrian pottery is in my opinion overstated in scholarly discourse.

Part of a lower building was uncovered during the third and fourth seasons of excavation at the site of a church in Selib 1. Finds from the fill between floors confirmed the early dating of the oldest church (6th/7th century). Two buildings were examined in the vicinity of the inner peribolos: BN.13, which proved to be a domestic dwelling from a later phase (11th–12th century), and BS.13, identified as a structure of religious function built before the 9th–10th century.
