This article discusses the way in which the Chopin Year of 1910 was celebrated in Wielkopolska. It presents a script prepared in the nineteenth century and shows similarities with celebrations of Mickiewicz and other Polish heroes and artists. Invariably used in such commemorations was a “symbolic capital” that made it easier to create an intergenerational code, thereby disseminating knowledge of national culture and history. A significant role was played in 1910 by a centenary panel, which produced “Guidelines for popular Chopin celebrations” and also many occasional, popular materials. Chopin’s induction into the national pantheon involved the use of audio material (vocal and instrumental concerts), verbal material (articles, poems, lectures and brochures) and also a visual code (anniversary window stickers, tableaux vivants or tableaux illuminés). Illuminated pictures - recommended by a catalogue of slides produced in Poznań - stimulated the imagination of the masses and served as a guide through the composer’s life and work, and their impact was enhanced by a commentary. Most of the living pictures were probably inspired by Henryk Siemiradzki’s canvas Chopin grający na fortepianie w salonie księcia Radziwiłła [Chopin playing the piano in Prince Radziwill’s salon] and Józef Męcina Krzesz’s painting Ostatnie akordy Chopina [Chopin’s last chords]. This combination of codes made it possible to create a model adapted to the times and to the expectations of a mass audience. The Chopin anniversary, in which admiration was inseparably intertwined with manipulation, was a pretext for strengthening the national identity.

Celem tego artykułu jest przedstawienie wyników analizy archeologicznej przeprowadzonej dla dwóch studni ze stanowiska Kwiatków 11/20 (gmina Brudzew, województwo wielkopolskie) na tle danych geochemicznych i litologicznych, a także zarysowanie warunków litologicznych i geologicznych w otoczeniu przebadanego obszaru. W obrębie prezentowanej osady zarejestrowano ponad 100 studni, z których większość łączona jest z osadnictwem kultury przeworskiej z pierwszych wieków naszej ery. Analiza i interpretacja uzyskanych danych (dzięki interdyscyplinarnym badaniom) pomaga zrozumieć zasadność kopania studni, ich funkcje oraz ich kontekst społeczny. Dzięki współpracy specjalistów reprezentujących różne dziedziny udało się uchwycić pewne różnice nie tylko w chronologii obu analizowanych obiektów, ale także w ich funkcji w przestrzeni osadniczej.

The aim of this article is to present the results of the archaeological analysis carried out on two wells from the site Kwiatków 11/20 (Brudzew commune, Greater-Poland Voivodeship) against a background of the geochemical and lithological data, as well as to outline the lithological and geological conditions of the surroundings of the excavated area. Within this settlement more than 100 wells were recorded. Most of the wells discovered have features of the Przeworsk culture from the first centuries AD. The analysis and interpretation of the data obtained (thanks to interdisciplinary research) helps us to understand the validity of use and functions of the wells within the site mentioned, and their social aspects. Thanks to the cooperation of specialists representing various scientific fields, it was possible to identify some differences not only in the chronology of both fields analyzed, but also in their function within the area of the settlement.

Franciszek Xawery Fierich (1860–1928) was one of the most highly qualified Polish lawyers of the period  of  twenty  years  of  independence  after  the  World  War  I.  He  was  the  Professor  at  the Jagiellonian University, the civil procedure specialist, the President of the Codification Commission. His legal opinions influenced the form of code of civil procedure of 1930. Franciszek Xawery Fierich was the reporter of the Civil Procedure Section in the Codification Commission, who worked out (among other things) the part of code of civil procedure concerning proceedings before the Supreme Court. He was the supporter of the cassation system.

The article discusses the opera-ballad Powrót taty (Father’s return) in a musical edition by Henryk Jarecki with a libretto by Jan Gołębiowski. Its goal is to present the manners of building the character and the narrative. Apart from the characteristic features of a ballad, the text also discusses the category of an oral poet, a “storyteller” and the dialogue relation (“speaking” instead of “talking”.) These are the means that gave Mickiewicz’s ballad a new dimension. Helpful in its reception are texts on cultural practices, especially those referring to oral culture (compare with e.g. Jack Goody, Albert B. Lord, Eric A. Havelock, Walter J. Ong.).

The article is an attempt at analysing ‘Falcon’ hymns dated to the period before 1918. Some research difficulties (lack of research papers, chronological expansiveness, or mass culture affiliation) have been pointed out. Not only the role of a song-book is highlighted (in its numerous editions), but also other forms of those publications (i.e. in the Gymnastic Hand- book ”Falcon”), as well as the activity of impressive music societies in that period. Questions are asked about: the role and aim of those hymns; connections with the ideology of the Gymnastic Society ‘Falcon’; connections with national hymns, or the type of affiliation. The author mentions numerous examples of hyms, which have been present in Polish music tradition ever since.

This article tries to show that research on Romanticism should focus not only on “high” literature. The subject of discussion is funeral speeches published in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) in the Romantic time period. Not only did they use to be one of the forms of re-cording memory of the dead ones, but also prepared the reader to “meet” Romantic literature (by means of quotations, cryptoquotes, telling about A. Mickiewicz and Z. Krasinski’s life and career; introducing them into social awareness). They also proved vitality of Romantic topos (prophet, suffering motherland, poet). The paper presents closer the horizons of the reader’s expectations, as well as traces the pervasion of legends and Romantic myths into the way the biographies of heroes of funeral ceremonies are presented. One can see experiencing the history and nation, which leads to exploration of community identity, reception of reality as if “filtered” by sacred standards and the presence of cultural universe – a fusion of religion and patriotism common to all Pol-ish people.

In this article the pottery obtained from three wells from the settlement in Kwiatków was analyzed. Compared to other sites associated with the Przeworsk culture, this site deserves a special attention due to the presence of over a hundred of artificial water intakes within excavated area. The method of the vessels production, macro and micromorphology characteristics, the degree of their preservation and the level of deposition inside the features were examined in detail. Most of the pottery fragments should be associated with the Przeworsk culture from the Roman Iron Age, however there was also a small percentage of pottery with Jastorf culture elements. The information obtained allowed to define the context of their discovery and to explain its presence inside the well.

A significant increase in the amount of materials obtained from the recent large area excavations resulted in numerous finds of wells. For years, these unique archaeological features were not treated as a separate research problem. In order to obtain the fullest research results, an increasing interdisciplinarity involving different fields of science is applied to the studies on wells nowadays. Constructions made of organic raw materials are extremely rare in the space of a typical archaeological site and they are also extremely important sources for gaining knowledge about particular settlements. Wells are accompanied by a certain range of features related to the use of water intake and located in its immediate vicinity. These discoveries allow for extremely interesting interpretations of the functional connections between individual complexes of this type. Functions of wells are an issue that is inextricably linked to the location of such complexes in the settlement’s space. Another aspect related to studies of these features is their extremely rich symbolism. Wells are special archaeological features. Their uniqueness places them among the most interesting objects studied by archaeologists.

The artefacts described in the paper come from the Przeworsk culture settlement in Kwiatków, where more than 100 fibulae were discovered. Among the artefacts acquired were three knee-shaped brooches with a semi-circular shield on the head. One of them was discovered in a well; the other two came from the surface of the site. This paper is mostly concerned with issues related to the technological aspects of the production of these items. In addition to the analysis of traces of craftsmanship found on the fibulae, XRF tests were performed to determine the material from which they were made. This approach allows one to supplement the typological findings and reconstruct the process of creating a given object. The brooches were microscopically examined for traces of craftsmanship. The attempt to determine the foundry method which had been applied failed to produce the expected results. Usually, individual instances of knee-shaped fibulae have been recorded at sites in Poland and other countries, such as the Czech Republic. In Kwiatków, however, the discovery contained as many as three such artefacts, though they had not been made in a workshop of one craftsman, although two display a high level of similarity.

The article offers a new perspective on the role of the Sok.ł Gymnastic Society in the circles of Polish immigrants in Germany at the turn of the 20th century, presenting examples of Sok.ł’s activity in numerous places (including Berlin, Leipzig, Bochum) and the variety of forms of presentation used (poetry – song – drama; cultural performances). The theoretical considerations are preceded by a brief discussion of the history of the movement, with particular emphasis on the specificity of Sok.ł’s activities in the areas under Prussian rule. The use of new methodologies and studies of cultural memory and the categories of myth made it possible to reconstruct the social and cultural framework of memory. The analysis may be an incentive to revise the common views, allowing one to ask questions about the place and the role of collective memory, about the media of memory or the meaning of the phonic space.

The artefact which is the subject of this article is an enigmatic object – a piece of sophisticated fitting that has no analogies in the materials of the Przeworsk culture. Due to the lack of exact analogies, a clear determination of its function seems not easy, but it is possible that the artefact represents an element of the metal lock for a wooden casket. The find comes from an amateur research conducted by Seweryn Tymieniecki at Kwiatków, Turek County, at the end of the 19th century. It is a stray find collected from the area of the cemetery. The archival illustrations show the artefact in its entirety – its both parts are connected with rivets (Fig. 2, 3). Unfortunately, its state of preservation has dramatically deteriorated over time (Fig. 4). The dimensions of the rectangular elements of the alleged lock mounting are 5.5×4.5 cm. One of the plates has a centrally located, square hole measuring 1.5×1 cm. At the shorter edge of the other plate, there are two holes with a diameter of about 0.3 cm (spacing – 0.7 cm). According to the preserved archival illustrations, the plate was fitted (probably by welding or soldering) with a small “pocket” (slide) made of iron sheet bent twice at right angles. It is open at one end, flattened and closed at the other. It resembles lock with barbed bolt. The double barb bolt was inserted vertically through the opening in the lid into a groove, with the barbs directed to the wall. The edge of the plate above the holes is folded over about 2 mm (Fig. 4). Slightly tilted barbs blocked on the fold, preventing the lid from being moved. The key had to be bent in such a way that, when inserted through the square hole in the outer fitting, it could reach the holes in the inner fitting with its teeth and through them it pressed the barbs against the bolt. This released the lock allowing the bolt to be pulled out and the box to be opened (Fig. 5). The lock for the Kwiatków casket could be a kind of hybrid – a variant of the Kietrz lock with some elements characteristic of the Wetzendorf lock (Fig. 7). The effectiveness of the proposed method of operation of the discussed mechanism was confirmed in the reconstruction of the box with such a lock. The materials from Kwiatków represent random, stray finds and they do not include a bolt or a key that could be an element of the analysed lock. However, keys of a shape corresponding to the hypothetical reconstruction of the lock were found in the cemeteries from Gronówko, Leszno County, and from Wiktorów, Zgierz County (Fig. 9). The lack of context for the discovery of the artefact as well as the lack of straight parallels make it difficult to draw conclusions concerning its dating. Its chronological determination is possible within the framework of the entire collection of artefacts obtained from the cemetery at Kwiatków, which is dated to phases B1–C2, however, most of the finds came from phase B2/C1 of the Roman Period.

Zabytek będący przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu to zagadkowy przedmiot – skomplikowane okucie nie mające analogii w materiałach kultury przeworskiej. Brak ścisłych analogii powoduje, że określenie jego funkcji nie jest oczywiste, ale wydaje się, że mógł to być element mechanizmu zamykającego drewniana skrzynkę. Znalezisko pochodzi z amatorskich badań prowadzonych w Kwiatkowie, pow. Turek, przez Seweryna Tymienieckiego pod koniec XIX wieku. Jest to znalezisko luźne z powierzchni cmentarzyska. Na archiwalnych rycinach zabytek przedstawiony jest jeszcze w całości – obie jego części połączone są nitami. Obecnie jego stan zachowania jest znacznie gorszy. Wymiary prostokątnych elementów domniemanego okucia zamka to 5,5 x 4,5 cm. Jedna z płytek posiada centralnie umieszczony, czworokątny otwór o wymiarach 1,5 x 1 cm, Przy krótszej krawędzi drugiej płytki znajdują się dwa otworki o średnicy około 0,3 cm (rozstaw – 0,4 cm). Według zachowanych ilustracji archiwalnych na tej blaszce była przymocowana, zapewne za pomocą zgrzewania albo lutowania, „kieszonka” wykonana z zagiętej dwukrotnie pod kątem prostym blachy żelaznej. Na jednym końcu jest otwarta, a spłaszczona i zamknięta przy drugim. Byłby to zamek zaciskowy. Rygiel z podwójnym wąsem wprowadzony był pionowo przez otwór w wieku do rynienki, wąsami do ścianki. Krawędź blaszki nad otworkami jest zagięta na około 2 mm. Lekko odchylone wąsy blokowały się na tym zagięciu uniemożliwiając przesunięcie wieka. Klucz musiał być wygięty w taki sposób, żeby po wprowadzeniu przez kwadratowy otwór w okuciu zewnętrznym, mógł dosięgnąć zębami otworków w wewnętrznym okuciu i poprzez nie docisnąć wąsy do trzpienia. To powodowało zwolnienie blokady umożliwiając wyciągnięcie rygla i otworzenie skrzynki. Zamek skrzynki z Kwiatkowa mógł być swoistą hybrydą – odmianą zamka typu Kietrz z pewnymi elementami charakterystycznymi dla zamka typu Wetzendorf. Skuteczność zaproponowanego sposobu działania omawianego mechanizmu została potwierdzona w wykonanej przez W. Rutkowskiego rekonstrukcji skrzynki z takim zamkiem. Materiały z Kwiatkowa to znaleziska luźne, zbierane dość przypadkowo i nie ma wśród nich ani rygla ani klucza, które mogłyby być elementami omawianego zamka. Klucze o kształcie odpowiadającym hipotetycznej rekonstrukcji zostały znalezione na cmentarzyskach w Gronówku, pow. leszczyński oraz w Wiktorowie, pow. zgierski. Brak kontekstu odkrycia zabytku oraz analogii utrudnia wyciągnięcie wniosków na temat jego datowania. Określenie chronologii możliwe jest w ramach całości materiału zabytkowego pozyskanego z cmentarzyska w Kwiatkowie, którego chronologia przypada głównie na fazy B1, B2 i C1 okresu rzymskiego.
