The authors present the application of the GPR method. The material for analysis was obtained during GPR works carried out at the Teutonic castle in Przezmark. They have become an important supplement to the available historical knowledge and results of previous excavations. Due to the lack of accurate information about the buildings located in the castle area, an attempt was made to identify the area in a non-invasive manner. For verification of architectural remains invisible in the modern landscape, the GPR device VIY -300i with a 300 MHz screen antenna from Transient Technologies LLC was used. After processing the data, an image of the examined area was obtained, in which GPR anomalies were observed. Due to the nature of the examined object, they were initially associated with architectural objects. After obtaining the results in the indicated place, a test trench was established to confirm the anomaly and to recognise its origin.

Geoarchaeological studies in Paphos – first results

100%
EN
The geoarchaeological research conducted consisted of a geomorphological prospecting of the Paphos region and a geophysical examination of the ancient town of Nea Paphos and its agora. In addition, the morphogenetic processes that shaped the coastal plains of the Cypriot area were also determined and a research hypothesis that could explain the shrinking of the bay and the decline of the harbour north of the cape of Paphos was formulated. The Mala GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) ProEx System, which is compatible with shielded antenna of 500MHz, was used for the geophysical survey of the area. 95 profiles were completed in a northsouth direction (1m apart) and 51 in an eastwest direction (2m apart). One of the main difficulties was to distinguish the stone structures, as the bottoms of their walls were formed at the natural level of the rock and there were pebble layers located above them. Using versatile geophysical techniques, we have attempted to answer a couple of questions: Was the agora area a fully built-up one and what does the continuation of the walls into undiscovered sections of the agora signify?

For several years now, the development of digital techniques of registering images and improving ways of measuring space is accompanied by attempts at implementing new documentation methods. Considerable accomplishments in this particular domain belong to the Workshop of Interdisciplinary Studies at the National Center for the Study and Documentation of Historical Monuments. The foundation of the investigations conducted by this institution, and the documentation gained during their course, is composed of interdisciplinary qualities, research precision, the application of the most recent techniques of non-invasive exploration as well as computer and geodetic techniques, together with benefiting from the measurement opportunities offered by the Cyrax 2005 laser scanner. All these undertakings are translated not only into complex research processes and reliable registration, but also lead to successes which include objective documentation, a rapid presentation of the outcome, and the latter’s utilisation for the purpose of popularisation.

The ground-penetrating radar (GPR) method has been used for many years in archaeological research. However, this method is still not widely used in studies of past architecture. The biggest problem in implementing the GPR in sites with archaeological relics are the extensive layers of rubble, leveling, vegetation, and infrastructure elements which significantly hinder the measurement and interpretation of the results obtained. Despite these limitations, properly planned and executed GPR studies, even in a small area, can provide very significant information on the remains of ancient buildings located underground. Moreover, the results of GPR profiling, integrated with historical data, allow for a three-dimensional reconstruction of searched architectural relics, not preserved above ground. An example may be the results of an GPR studies, presented in this article, performed on relics of the Gothic church of St. Elisabeth at Trzygłów (village in the commune of Gryfice, north – western Poland). This building was demolished in 1955. The results of the geophysical reconnaissance combined with a search of archival material, made it possible to visualise spatially (3D) the appearance of the non-existent church and, so to speak, reintroduce it to the local community. It seems that such a comprehensive approach should be standard in contemporary geophysical research focusing on the relics of past architecture.

Metoda georadarowa jest od wielu lat stosowana z powodzeniem w archeologii. Zaczyna być również standardem w nieinwazyjnych badaniach dawnej architektury. Największym problemem w implementacji tej metody na stanowiskach z reliktami architektonicznymi są rozległe warstwy gruzu, niwelacje, roślinność oraz elementy infrastruktury, które znacząco utrudniają pomiar oraz interpretację uzyskanych wyników. Pomimo tych ograniczeń, prawidłowo zaplanowane i wykonane badania georadarowe, nawet na niewielkim obszarze, mogą dostarczyć bardzo istotnych informacji dotyczących znajdujących się pod ziemią pozostałości dawnych budowli. Co więcej, wyniki profilowania georadarowego zintegrowane z danymi historycznymi pozwalają na trójwymiarową rekonstrukcję niezachowanego na powierzchni ziemi zabytku. Przykładem mogą być prezentowane w niniejszym artykule wyniki badań georadarowych reliktów gotyckiego kościoła św. Elżbiety w Trzygłowie (dawniej Trieglaff – wieś w gminie Gryfice, północno-zachodnia Polska). Świątynię tą rozebrano w 1955 roku. Wyniki rozpoznania geofizycznego w połączeniu z kwerendą materiałów archiwalnych pozwoliły na zobrazowanie przestrzenne (3D) wyglądu nieistniejącego już kościoła i niejako ponowne przywrócenie go lokalnej społeczności. Zaprezentowane tu podejście powinno być standardem w badanych architektonicznych zabytkowych budowli z użyciem metod nieinwazyjnych, co autor niniejszego opracowania proponuje określić terminem geofizyka architektury.

Artykuł poświęcony jest zagadnieniu poszukiwania zwłok ludzkich. Poszukiwania takie prowadzi się w przypadku podejrzenia popełniania zabójstwa, samobójstwa lub też niewyjaśnionego zaginięcia osoby, kiedy z okoliczności sprawy wynika, że osoba najprawdopodobniej nie żyje. Opisane zostały następujące metody poszukiwań: użycie psa specjalistycznego, metoda georadarowa, metoda fosforanowa, metoda sonarowa, metoda wykopów kontrolnych, metody poszukiwań w wodzie. Omówiono zagadnienie profilowania sprawców zabójstw, bowiem sposób postępowania ze zwłokami oraz miejsce ich ukrycia stanowią istotne wskazówki wykrywcze oraz dowodowe. Przedstawione zostały także aspekty związane ze współpracą interdyscyplinarną w przypadku niewyjaśnionych spraw, w których istnieje podejrzenie popełnienia zabójstwa, chociaż nie udało się ujawnić zwłok, takie jak współpraca z profilerem, a także z biegłymi z różnych dziedzin nauki.

This article focuses on the topie of searching for human corpses. Such searches are conducted when murder, suicide or unexplained disappearance is suspected, with the circumstances of the case indicating that the person is probably dead. The following search methods are described: use of a specially trained dog, ground-penetrating radar method, phosphate method, sonar method, test excavation method, water search methods. The profiling of murder perpetrators is also discussed sińce the way the corpse is treated and the site at which it is concealed are valuable tips for the detection and collection of evidence. Presented are also aspects of interdisciplinary cooperation in unexplained cases in which murder is suspected but the corpse has not been discovered, such as cooperation with profiler and experts in different scientific disciplines.

Artykuł przedstawia zarys problematyki procesu identyfikacji skazanych na karę śmierci i rozstrzelanych w Polsce w latach 1944–1956. Opisuje zastosowane metody badawcze: analizę materiałów źródłowych, badanie georadarowe oraz badania porównawcze materiału DNA na przykładzie największych prac w Polsce, m.in. kwatery „Ł” Cmentarza Wojskowego przy ul. Powązkowskiej w Warszawie i Aresztu Śledczego w Białymstoku. Aerial photographs and DNA material in the process of identifying sentenced to death and shot in Poland in 1944–1956 – An outline of the issue An individual approach to the process of identifying fallen victims of armed conflicts in the 20th century enjoys widespread popularity in Western Europe (Germany, Holland), Central and Eastern Europe (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina), Anglo-Saxon countries (especially USA) and Russia. Each of them is characterized by different identity determination resulting from the circumstances surrounding the death of a murdered person. The development of technology makes it possible for us to use methods that were inaccessible ten years ago: DNA comparative studies that ultimately verify the identity of a victim. The studies have been used for over twenty years to restore the identity people who were murdered and lost in the aftermath of the armed conflict in former Yugoslavia, especially Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Poland, the identification of bone remains was carried out in certain individual cases, such as the skull of Ludwik Szymański, a Polish officer murdered in Katyn. Mass comparative studies of the DNA of the wanted people and their families were first used in Poland against anti-communist soldiers of the independence underground, who were sentenced to death in 1944–1956 by military district courts and shot in the prison in Rakowiecka Street in Warsaw.The article presents the research methods used in Poland, such as the analysis of source materials, geo-radar survey and comparative research of DNA material on the example of the largest works. The aim of the paper is to present sources materials that have contributed to locating and then estimating the size of burial fields. The author also describes other methods of identifying victims, critically presenting each of them.
