The main purpose of this article is to present the possibilities of using non-invasive methods with special emphasis placed on the magnetic method as a solution to a crisis which has arisen in Polish archaeology. The growing numbers of artefacts in museum storage has increasingly raised a question about the legitimacy of research excavations. Widespread non-invasive prospecting may be a solution to the problem as it will allow to evaluate the state of preservation, the size and range of the positions and, as a result, to decide if excavations are necessary and desired. This is of extreme importance due to the limited research perspectives for some types of sites.

The dramatic history of the medieval fortified settlement, located between the Sluch’ and Goryn’ Rivers (near the village of Horodyshche, Shepetivka District, Khmelnytskyi Region, Ukraine), destroyed and burned as a result of Tatar-Mongol raids in the middle of the 13th c., gave rise to the appearance of a cultural layer which is unique as regards its abundant finds. During the excavations led by Mikhail Karger in 1957–1964, almost all the territory of the site was investigated (3.6 ha) and many thousands of archaeological and anthropological finds were collected. M. Karger planned to publish a monograph based on the research into these collections undertaken by the members of his expedition team, but his plan did not reach fruition. Over the last sixty years, the materials have often been referred to by specialists. Today the bibliography relating to the analysis and interpretation of the materials discovered during the excavations includes dozens of articles. The rather disjointed nature of the materials published so far, and the random and incomplete selection of finds for detailed investigation have meant that the presentation of the site as a whole has not been a well-integrated one and interpretations have often been inconsistent. Recently a project has been drawn up, enabling a team from the Institute for the History of Material Culture, to prepare the excavated materials for publication, supported by a grant from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research

Count Michał Tyszkiewicz (1828–1897) was one of the most renowned collectors of the ancient classical art at the end of the 19th century. His interest in archaeology and ancient art was developed during his travel through Egypt in 1861. His Journal of the Travel to Egypt and Nubia, fortunately found in 1992 in Poznań, recounts this journey. From Egypt, Michał Tyszkiewicz brought a collection of antiquities, estimated to have comprised c. 800 objects; today, over a half of them can be found in museums in Paris (Louvre), Warsaw, Vilnius, Kaunas, and Moscow. The majority of the objects originated from excavations conducted by the count, particularly in Thebes (Luxor area), by virtue of an official licence granted to him exceptionally by Mohamed Said Pasha – the then head of the Egyptian state. The present article discusses the circumstances of granting of this permission in the period when a strict state monopoly was imposed on archaeological investigations and presents the course of the excavations along with their results.

Polish excavations at the site of Beit Ras (ancient Capitolias) in the governorate of Irbid, northern Jordan, investigated an area in the northern part of the ancient town, to the west of the Roman-age theater. Three seasons of fieldwork were conducted, starting in 2014 with a survey using the electric resistivity method to detect ancient structures. The presence of architectural features was noted, dated by surface finds spanning a period from the 1st–2nd through the 12th–13th centuries AD. In the next two seasons, in 2015 and 2016, excavation of three archaeological trenches led to the discovery of the remains of a winery and a section of the city wall, as well as a sequence of floors. This established a chronology of usage from the Roman to the early medieval period and proved that this part of the town was mostly domestic in character, at least during the Byzantine and early Islamic periods. Evidence of destruction of a nearby church was also found, tentatively attributed to a Sassanian raid in AD 614 or soon after.

The Archaeological Department of the Cracow Saltworks Museum in Wieliczka conducted archaeological research in year 2018 on station 43 in Bochnia-Chodenice. Numerous movable historical objects and cultural artefacts were discovered in the course of the works. These discoveries should be linked to the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age. Findings included artefacts of the linear pottery culture, the Malice culture, the Pleszów-Modlnica group, the Mierzanowice culture and the Lusatian culture. In years 2018-2019, preparations were commenced to conduct research at two barrow sites discovered in Kolanowski Forest near Bochnia (Bochnia-Kolanów, station no. 120; Łapczyca, station no. 90). Geomagnetic surveys and soil recognition boreholes were carried out in these locations, ALS data was developed and interpreted, and field penetrations were conducted several times. In year 2019, archaeological supervision of earthworks was commenced in association with the renovation of the former district court building, adapted to become the new headquarters of the Cracow Saltworks Museum in Wieliczka.

Dział Archeologiczny Muzeum Żup Krakowskich Wieliczka w Wieliczce w roku 2018 prowadził badania wykopaliskowe na stanowisku 43 w Bochni-Chodenicach. W trakcie prowadzonych prac natrafiono na liczne zabytki ruchome i obiekty kulturowe. Odkrycia należy wiązać z okresem neolitu i epoką brązu. Wydzielono artefakty kultury ceramiki wstęgowej rytej, kultury malickiej, grupy pleszowsko-modlnickiej, kultury mierzanowickiej oraz kultury łużyckiej. W latach 2018–2019 rozpoczęto przygotowania do badań dwóch stanowisk kurhanowych odkrytych w Lesie Kolanowskim nieopodal Bochni (Bochnia-Kolanów, stan. 120; Łapczyca, stan. 90). Przeprowadzono tam badania geomagnetyczne, odwierty gleboznawcze, wykonano opracowanie i interpretację danych ALS oraz kilkukrotnie przeprowadzono penetracje terenowe. W 2019 r. rozpoczęto nadzór archeologiczny prac ziemnych, związanych z remontem budynku dawnego sądu powiatowego, adaptowanego na nową siedzibę Muzeum Żup Krakowskich Wieliczka.

Selekcja zabytków „masowych” w badaniach archeologicznych jest jednym ze swoistych tabu współczesnej archeologii. W poniższym artykule autor pragnie naświetlić niektóre aspekty zagadnienia wynikające bezpośrednio z rozwiązań prawnych przyjętych w Polsce, w tym z samej definicji badań archeologicznych oraz prawnej definicji zabytku. W dalszej części, posiłkując się przykładami brytyjskimi, autor rozważa kroki konieczne w procesie selekcji zabytków i ich implikacje dla procesu ochrony zabytków od strony służb ustawowo powołanych dla ochrony dziedzictwa.

The following study covers flint artefacts unearthed during the six seasons of archaeological excavations conducted by the Cracow Saltworks Museum in Wieliczka, at the multi-cultural site no. 8 in Zakrzów, Niepołomice municipality, county of Wieliczka. It is intended as the first stage of a wider analysis including the reminder of artefacts, characteristics of archaeological features, and structure of settlements in the microregion. The site was first discovered during surface work within the AZP 103- 58 rectangular area, conducted during 1983 by Antoni Jodłowski, Kazimierz Reguła and Adam Szybowicz2. The site is located at Wieliczka foothills [Pogórze Wielickie], on the south-eastern slopes of the Tropie Góry hills, rolling towards the Bogusława river – also known as the Zakrzówek stream. In the recent years, the area has been under continuous development due to robust expansion of residential areas as well as businesses opening along the national road no. 964. The undeveloped plot no. 495/2, neighbouring the road from the south, was selected for the archaeological work. Its longer axis points approximately towards the S-E direction. The excavations covered an area reaching 60 m in length and 15 m in width. In total, the area of 8 ares was explored, which resulted in the identification of over 100 features, mostly from the Neolithic period. Found underneath the humus layer were deposits with inclusions of historical materials, filling a ground depression between two local humps invisible from the surface. The bottom of the excavated ditch featured formations whose genesis is likely the result of aqueous environment. This allows us to suppose that there was at least a periodically active spring in this region. Further evidence supporting this hypothesis comes from the layout of identified archaeological features, whose placement avoids the likely area of the watercourse. The depression was probably filled gradually, as suggested by the depth-varying numbers and provenance of unearthed artefacts. The substrate consists of hard sandy clay formations, with multiple ferrous inclusions. A large percentage of the unearthed ceramics consists of so-called ‘sandy’ ceramics, which may suggest the spring being used as the source of brine, or perhaps simply of water used in the production of such vessels. This topic will be elaborated upon in the further stages of the study. The site is multi-cultural in its character. Only few among the archaeological finds can be attributed to the final stages of the Palaeolithic and the Mesolithic periods. The core of the finds consists of Neolithic artefacts, present both in the identified deposit strata and within the archaeological features. A small group of artefacts and features is attributable to the Linear Pottery Culture of the Zofipole stage (2nd half of the 6th millennium BCE), with much more numerous finds from the late stages of the Pleszów-Modlnica group (2nd half of the 5th millennium BCE) and the Wyciąże-Złotniki group (1st half of the 4th millennium BCE) of the Lengyel-Polgár circle. Also identified were various numbers of artefacts from the Lusatian Culture, Tyniec group, Przeworsk Culture, and materials dating from the Medieval period up until the modern times, including a rifleman’s strongpoint from 1914. Due to the particulars of the site stratigraphy, the majority of artefacts comes from a secondary fill, which robs them of some cultural and chronological contexts. Consequently, the main part of the analysis of flint material will be focusing on artefacts from anthropogenic features in which culturally homogeneous ceramics were found. The finds were associated with three horizons: Linear Pottery Culture, and Pleszów-Modlnica group and Wyciąże-Złotniki group of the Lengyel-Polgár circle (Table no. I).

Dura Europos, or as proposed today Europos Dura, was a fortified settlement on the border between the Roman Empire and the East. The archeological discoveries reflected the character of the settlement – the fortified agglomeration grouped at the military camp. After its fall Europos Dura was covered by desert sand only to be discovered in the XXth century. Archaeological research has disclosed documentation of its multicultural character. This paper points to the fact of coexistence of various religions in late antiquity Europos Dura. Paintings and sculptures discovered in situ indicate that scene of offering was a favorite subject in the sacral art of Europos Dura, independent of religion. The ceremony of incense burning constitutes the dominant form of offering regarding visualizations of this important ceremony.

Archaeological sites in the Siedlecka Upland allow to observe a cross–section of the entire history of settlement in this area from the late Paleolithic to the Middle Ages. The area, situated on sandy terminal moraines, was not a very attractive settlement location, despite the widely branched waterways. In the area of the currently functioning region, several hundred traces of human presence in this area have been identified. Some of the finds were incidental and did not constitute the basis for in–depth searches. Among the registered archaeological sites, there are those where extensive excavations and rescue research are carried out. Due to the constantly new research methods, opening new archaeological sites is absolutely justified, which will bring new discoveries and hitherto unknown artifacts of settlement in this area.

Stanowiska archeologiczne na Wysoczyźnie Siedleckiej pozwalają na zaobserwowanie historii osadnictwa na tym terenie od późnego paleolitu do średniowiecza. Teren usytuowany na piaszczystych morenach czołowych, mimo szeroko rozgałęzionych szlaków wodnych, nie stanowił bardzo atrakcyjnej lokalizacji osadniczej. Na obszarze obecnie funkcjonującego powiatu udało wyodrębnić się kilkaset śladów obecności ludzkiej na tym terenie. Część ze znalezisk była incydentalnych i nie stanowiła podstawy do pogłębionych poszukiwań. Wśród zarejestrowanych stanowisk archeologicznych wyróżnić można te, na których prowadzone są szeroko zakrojone badania wykopaliskowe, jak i badania ratownicze. W związku z wciąż nowymi metodami badawczymi, otwieranie nowych stanowisk archeologicznych jest jak najbardziej zasadne, co przyniesie nowe odkrycia i dotychczas nieznane artefakty bytności osadniczej na tym terenie.
