In the 20th anniversary of death of Professor Andrzej Nadolski Ph.D., students and friends will recall his accomplishments as well as his research and academic achievements. The organizers of this academic session are mostly weapon experts – heirs and successors of work of their late master. Professor A. Nadolski Ph.D. was not just an archaeologist and expert on medieval art of warfare, strategy and tactics, but he was also interested in the defense construction and material culture of the Middle Ages. Moreover, it should be remembered that he was a broad-minded researcher and scholar. Apart from the historical interests he had also a great knowledge of biology. He knew a rich world of winged beings, he had passionately documented existing species of butterflies and he would never turn a blind eye on any plant. He was also interested and engaged in social issues. He was actively involved in works of numerous boards, committees and scientific societies. He took part in sessions, debates and conferences both in Poland and abroad. He participated in international congresses and cooperated with filmmakers as an expert-consultant in the production of historical films. He was highly valued as an educator – a lecturer at several Polish universities. He was an eager supporter of popularization of historical science through the dissemination of knowledge about regional, national and common tradition. He believed that being aware of your own history is a responsibility of a cultured person and such knowledge has the effect on reinforcing of social bonds. As a member and a chairman of the Common Knowledge Society (Towarzystwo Wiedzy Powszechnej), he put in practice the implementation of science popularization ideas. During the World War II, Professor A. Nadolski Ph.D. took active part in actions of Home Army (Armia Krajowa) and defended his Country.

“Tygodnik Ilustrowany”, one of the most popular Warsaw periodicals, was coming out between 1859–1939. The aim of its founders was to create a magazine that would address national issues, including our past. The historical section, in which archeological topics found a place, was visible part of the “Tygodnik Ilustrowany”. The first editor of the magazine, Ludwik Jenike, for 27 years of managing the Warsaw periodical (that is the whole discussed period) never decided to limit publications connected with antiquity. However the archeological issues did not find a permanent place in the magazine. The following antiquarians were writing for the “Tygodnik Ilustrowany”: Józef Łepkowski, Franciszek Maksymilian Sobieszczański, Wacław Szymanowski, Kazimierz Władysław Wójcicki, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski. It must be underlined that the published information on archeological topics was not limited just to the news about excavations or accidental discoveries. The scholars’ and collectors’ biographical entries with precise descriptions of their findings as well as information on ancient exhibitions and museums that gather the monuments from prehistoric times were also included in the “Tygodnik Ilustrowany”. The history was treated with all seriousness during the 19th century, because the memory of the past, including the most remote times, was the sign of patriotism.

The Polish lands under the rule of Austria were referred to as Eastern Galicia. Inhabitants of these areas represented various social and professional groups. For many of them, collecting and archaeological research has become a subject of serious interest. In this area, inhabited for centuries by various nations, there are numerous ruins, burial mounds, embankments and castles. This multitude of traces of past cultures forced us to search. This became the reason for a wide interest in the past and the development of collecting. Thus, the object of interest of nineteenth-century archeology, in the eyes of many researchers, were all monuments of the past, understood as the entirety of pre-historical, ethnographic, written and other sources. Accordingly, archeology should study all the creations of human hands from different epochs; creations ranging from the simplest to artistic and artful, material remains and traces of beliefs, worship and literature. The scope of the researchers’ interests included ancient temples, monuments of armaments, classical antiquities, archival science, archeography, sphragistics and numismatics. In Ukraine and in other parts of the world, Poles lived and worked – in many economic and, of course – scientific fields. Many have devoted their attention, time and funds to searching for and studying traces of the distant past preserved in the ground. There are not many Polish publications about archaeological research conducted by Polish lovers of antiquity in eastern Ukraine, which were subject to tsarist Russia. This article attempts to fill this gap in the history of Polish archeology.

Na Ukrainie, jak i w innych stronach świata żyli i pracowali – w wielu dziedzinach gospodarczych i oczywiście naukowych – Polacy. Wielu też poświęciło swoją uwagę, czas i fundusze na poszukiwanie i badanie śladów odległej przeszłości zachowanych w ziemi. O badaczach i badaniach na terytoriach Ukrainy, Galicji Zachodniej, w Małopolsce pisali: Stefan Nosek, Zarys historii badań archeologicznych w Małopolsce (1967); Andrzej Abramowicz, Wiek archeologii (1967); są też starsze publikacje: Bohdan Janusz, Zabytki przedhistoryczne Galicji Wschodniej (1918); Marcyan Śmiszko, Kultury wczesnego okresu epoki cesarstwa rzymskiego w Małopolsce Wschodniej (1932). O badaniach archeologicznych prowadzonych przez polskich miłośników starożytności na terenach wschodnich Ukrainy, podlegających carskiej Rosji, polskich publikacji nie ma zbyt dużo (Abramowicz, 1970; Blombergowa, 1993). W moim artykule podejmuję próbę wypełnienia tej luki w dziejach historii polskiej archeologii.

The article presents the role of Otto Braasch, a German pilot and aerial archaeologist in the development of aerial archaeology in Poland in the last decade of the 20th century. Otto Braasch at the age of 20 obtained a glider pilot license, and in 1958 he joined the German air force, where until 1980 he served as a supersonic fighter pilot, as a squadron commander, operational officer and deputy wing commander in fighter units, as well as a staff officer at Luftwaffe headquarters. In 1974, he began his activity as a practitioner and theoretician of aerial archaeology, which lasted almost 50 years, initially in southern Germany, and after the collapse of the Communist system in Central Europe, also in the eastern federal states of Germany, in Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Estonia and Latvia. His interests in archaeology developed through personal contacts with the archaeologist and engineer Irwin Scollar, who from 1960 as an employee of the Rhineland National Museum in Bonn was a pioneer of post-war aerial archaeology in Germany, and then with the archaeologist Rainer Christlein, who in 1976, as an employee and later director of the archaeological section of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Protection, initiated regular search for archaeological sites in Bavaria from a plane, carried out by Otto Braasch. In 1980, Otto Braasch left the air force to devote himself entirely and exclusively to aerial archaeology. Until 1989, he served as the aerial archaeologist of the Bavarian Conservation Office, creating from scratch an archive of aerial photographs of archaeological sites in Bavaria, initially stored in Landshut and later in Munich. This archive is currently one of the world’s largest sources of aerial archaeology. Later, the area of his interest became Baden-Württemberg, and after the collapse of the Communist regime in Europe and the reunification of Germany, he began systematic exploration activities in the territory of the East German states – Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Fig. 1). This aerial survey initiated by Otto Braasch was and is being continued by his successors, who are in most cases his students. Otto Braasch disseminated his vast knowledge and shared his experiences in numerous publications (Fig. 2), at many conferences and during lectures he gave at the universities of Munich and Berlin. From the point of view of the history of Polish modern archaeology the most important is the missionary activity of Otto Braasch in the countries of the former Soviet bloc. Otto Braasch was one of the initiators of helping archaeologists from Central and Eastern Europe to initiate the aerial prospection of archaeological heritage resources, which became possible on a larger scale after the collapse of the Communist system. He helped archaeologists, including in Poland, as an instructor during practical aerial archaeology training courses, and he also came to Poland several times in the company of Polish archaeologists to make reconnaissance flights in various parts of the country, discovering many previously unknown archaeological sites, including the first Neolithic cult circle in Bodzów in the Lubuskie Province (Fig. 3–8).

Artykuł przedstawia rolę Ottona Braascha, niemieckiego pilota i archeologa lotniczego w rozwoju archeologii lotniczej w Polsce w ostatniej dekadzie XX wieku. Otto Braasch w wieku 20 lat, uzyskał licencję pilota szybowcowego, a w roku 1958 wstąpił do niemieckich powietrznych sił zbrojnych, gdzie do roku 1980 pełnił służbę jako pilot naddźwiękowych samolotów myśliwskich, jako dowódca eskadry, oficer operacyjny i zastępca dowódcy skrzydła w jednostkach myśliwskich, a także oficer sztabowy w kwaterze głównej Luftwaffe. W 1974 roku rozpoczęła się jego trwająca niemal 50 lat działalność jako praktyka i teoretyka archeologii lotniczej, początkowo na terenie południowych Niemiec, a po upadku systemu komunistycznego w środkowej Europie, także na terenie wschodnich krajów związkowych Niemiec, Czech, Słowacji, Węgier, Polski, Estonii czy Łotwy. Jego zainteresowania archeologią rozwinęły się dzięki osobistym kontaktom z archeologiem i inżynierem Irwinem Scollarem, który od 1960 r., jako pracownik Nadreńskiego Muzeum Krajowego w Bonn był pionierem powojennej archeologii lotniczej w Niemczech, a następnie z archeologiem Rainerem Christleinem, który w 1976 r. jako pracownik, a później dyrektor sekcji archeologicznej Bawarskiego Państwowego Urzędu Ochrony Zabytków (Bayerisches Landesamt für Denkmalpflege), zainicjował regularne poszukiwania stanowisk archeologicznych na terenie Bawarii z samolotu, realizowane właśnie przez Ottona Braascha. W 1980 roku Otto Braasch opuścił lotnictwo wojskowe by poświęcić się całkowicie i wyłącznie archeologii lotniczej. Do 1989 r. służył jako archeolog lotniczy bawarskiego urzędu konserwatorskiego, tworząc od podstaw archiwum zdjęć lotniczych stanowisk archeologicznych z terenu Bawarii, początkowo przechowywane w Landshut, a później w Monachium. Archiwum to jest obecnie jednym z największych na świecie zasobów źródłowych archeologii lotniczej. Później obszarem jego zainteresowania stała się Badenia-Wirtembergia, a po upadku reżimu komunistycznego w Europie i zjednoczeniu Niemiec rozpoczął systematyczną działalność poszukiwawczą na obszarze wschodnioniemieckich krajów związkowych – Saksonii, Saksonii-Anhalt, Brandenburgii i Meklemburgii-Pomorza Przedniego. Ta zainicjowana przez Ottona Braascha prospekcja aerofotograficzna była i jest kontynuowana przez jego następców, będących w większości przypadków jego uczniami. Otto Braasch rozpowszechniał swoją ogromną wiedzę i dzielił się swoimi doświadczeniami w licznych publikacjach, podczas wielu konferencji i podczas wykładów, które prowadził na uniwersytetach w Monachium i Berlinie. Dla historii współczesnej polskiej archeologii najważniejsza stała się misjonarska działalność Ottona Braascha w krajach byłego bloku sowieckiego. Otto Braasch był mianowicie jednym z inicjatorów pomocy archeologom z krajów środkowej i wschodniej Europy w rozpoczęciu rozpoznawania lotniczego zasobów dziedzictwa archeologicznego, co stało się możliwe na szerszą skalę po upadku systemu komunistycznego. Służył pomocą archeologom w tym także w Polsce, jako instruktor w czasie praktycznych kursów archeologii lotniczej, a także kilkukrotnie przybywał swoim samolotem do Polski, by w towarzystwie polskich archeologów dokonywać lotów zwiadowczych w różnych częściach kraju, odkrywając wiele nieznanych wcześniej stanowisk archeologicznych, w tym pierwszego neolitycznego kręgu kultowego w Bodzowie, woj. lubuskie.

„Tygodnik Ilustrowany” was one of the most important magazines in Warsaw in the 2nd half of nineteenth century. From the first issues of the magazine there is information about the national Antiquities. The reports of foreign Antiquities began to appear in the 2nd half of 1860s, and since then their number is steadily increasing. Most texts describing the discovery and ancient monuments were in the 1880s. Individual articles have appeared in the 1890s. At the beginning of the twentieth century once again increased the number of texts about Antiquities. Archaeological issues are not just confined to the news about the excavations.

There were also reprints articles in foreign languages. They were in the section „Artykuły treści naukowej, z innych piśmiennictw czerpane”. Small foreign reports of findings were published in „Ze świata obcego” edited by Mścisława Edgara Trepkę (Toporczyka), and later in the „Kronika Powszechna”. At this time the authors of the articles represented a variety of disciplines.

The times of the Second Polish Republic were a particularly important period in the development of Polish archeology, because after Poland regained independence, the first state institution was established to organize the protection of archaeological monuments throughout the country. It was the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators functioning in the years 1920–1928. Their activities in the Kielce voivodeship brought particularly interesting results. Conservators and delegates of the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators did a lot in the field of inventory and protection of archaeological monuments in the Kielce region, undertaking surface and excavation rescue research, as well as popularizing archeology among the inhabitants of the region. The result of their activities was the registration, discovery, and exploration of many archaeological sites, including such valuable ones as a complex of multicultural sites in Złota near Sandomierz and in Książnice Wielkie, and a unique complex of striped flint mines in Krzemionki near Ostrowiec. The sites discovered at that time in the Kielce voivodeship are still the subject of interest and research to Polish archaeologists.
