The text discusses the results of typological and metallographic analyses of metal objects dated to the 7th-8th centuries from Janowiec on the Vistula River, including five bronze strap fittings, two silver bracelets with trumpet-like endings, two bronze bars, and lumps of melted metal. The analyses of the fittings indicate their direct associations with the Avar Kaganate. Currently, the fittings from Janowiec comprise the most numerous assemblage of Avar imports from Polish lands. The form and technology of manufacture of the bracelets is typical for the area between the middle Dnipro and the middle Danube, while their decorative patterns refer to the art of the Avars. Interestingly, such an assemblage was discovered in the territory currently regarded as peripherical or even wholly uninhabited. The finds from Janowiec document contacts between the emerging “tribal” elites of northern and north-eastern Lesser Poland and the Transcarpathian areas and indicate the role of the Vistula as a communicational axis.

W mikroregionie Ulowa na Roztoczu Środkowym jedna z najlepiej czytelnych faz osadniczych łączona jest z kulturą ceramiki sznurowej. W chwili obecnej tak datowanych jest 10 stanowisk archeologicznych. Na stanowisku 3 znajdowało się cmentarzysko kurhanowe tej kultury składające się z trzech kopców. Wszystkie zbadane zostały wykopaliskowo. Artykuł poświęcony jest wynikom badań kurhanu oznaczonego numerem III o niemal nieczytelnym nasypie. W jego centrum znajdowała się jama grobowa, w której strop wkopano kolejny grób tej kultury. W nasyp kurhanu wkopano także palenisko z brukiem kamiennym kultury wielbarskiej. W tekście omówiono również cmentarzysko na stanowisku 3 na tle innych cmentarzysk kurhanowych w mikroregionie Ulowa.
在Ulowa na Roztoczešrodkowy的微观地区，最清晰的定居阶段之一与帘线陶瓷文化有关。目前，有十个考古遗址是用这种方法确定年代的。在3号阵地上有一个这种文化的墓地，由三座小山组成。它们都被挖掘出来了。本文介绍了库尔汉三号标志和几乎难以辨认的路堤的试验结果。它的中心是一座坟墓，天花板上挖出了另一座这种文化的坟墓。在库尔汉的堤岸上还挖了一个壁炉，上面铺着威尔巴尔文化的石头路面。本文还以乌洛瓦微区其他库尔汉墓地为背景，讨论了3号位置的墓地。

part of the Republic of Moldova. The artefacts (about 150 items) were discovered in a pit, about 50 cm deep and among them were: two fibulae of Röschitz-Sanislău type, seven necklaces, 12 rings, 22 tubes, 23 bracelets, about 80 appliqués, a coral bead, a wild animal tusk pendant and 21 amber beads. The objects from this deposit are of western origin, with known analogues in deposits from Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia and less in Romania. Apparently, despite the wider dating of the deposit within HaA2-HaB1-2, the date of deposition was probably closer to the upper limit. In addition, the Nisporeni deposit perfectly illustrates the cultural dynamics of the region in the Early Iron Age, that is, the fundamental change in the vector of cultural influences from Eastern toWestern.

In 2017, a man fishing in the Oder River accidentally discovered an antler-base axe in the village of Domaszków, Lower Silesian Voivodeship. In-depth study of the axe included analysis of the traces on its surface, radiocarbon dating and paleogenetic analysis, and concluded with the tool’s conservation. Most of the traces casting light on the techniques used in its crafting had been eroded by intensive water action. The axe was made from the unshed red deer antler. Among the preserved marks we note pointed depressions made during the separation of the antler beam, traces where the brow and bay tines were cut off, and concentric rings from the drilling of the perforation. A small scar on the axe’s blade was identified as resulting from the tool’s use. Radiocarbon dating placed the origins of the axe in Boreal period. Such tools are known from western Poland and the north-western European Mesolithic as well as from the Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age.

The second hoard from Strzelce Krajeńskie was discovered in 2014. The assemblage consists of at least 1948 coins. The article presents the interdisciplinary study of 109 of these coins. Apart from all Prague groschen, wittens, hellers and Jagiellonian pennies also 10 Brandenburg and 70 West Pomeranian pennies were loaned for this project by the museum where the assemblage is housed. Care was taken to select the most statistically representative sample possible. Twenty Vinkenaugen from the Szczecin mint were selected – as well as ten pennies minted in Gryfino, Koszalin, Słupsk, Stargard and Kołobrzeg. Additionally, 48 coins were subjected to a metallographic analysis – 18 Prague groschen of Wenceslas IV, two pennies of Vladislaus III, two Mecklenburg and three West Pomeranian wittens, four coins identified as Silesian hellers and 19 West Pomeranian pennies. The results we obtained demonstrate the benefits of collaboration between numismatics and natural sciences. Interdisciplinary research conducted on part of the second hoard from Strzelce Krajeńskie reveals its research potential and value as an archaeological source for the study of monetary history.

The practice of using textiles during the process of pottery manufacturing provides a unique insight into the technological aspect of prehistoric craft, the actual products of which are very rarely preserved to our times. In this study, microscopic analysis of ceramics fragments with textile or textile-like imprints was carried out in order to determine the type and structural features of textile products that were used by the inhabitants of the Bronze Age settlement in Szczepidło, Central Poland. In addition, issues related to the function of textile patterns on ceramics were discussed. Measurements made during the research were used to prepare a dataset of technical parameters of identified impressions, which, apart from being itself a valuable source of information, could be implemented in future comparative studies.

Archaeological finds, supported by data from the literary tradition, indicate that women were presented among the Scythian army. 303 burials of Amazons have been recorded on the territory of European Scythia. A characteristic feature of their burials is the mandatory presence of weapons in the accompaniment sets. In the graves of the Amazons there are almost all types of attack weapons, dominated by the items of long-distance combat. The weapons of the female warriors completely corresponded to those in the arsenal of the Scythian army.

Z przepalonych kości zwierzęcych (?) ulokowanych w nasypie jednego z grobowców uzyskano dwie daty 14C wskazujące na przedział 3633-3516 BC (przy prawdopodobieństwie 68%).

Analyses of the alloy composition of the 114 artefacts from 21 sites of the Wielbark and Przeworsk cultures indicate that these brooches largely correspond to the Roman categories of alloys. The most numerous group of brooches was made of an alloy type M – middle, that is the product of mixing new pure brass with scrap bronze. Such finds are most often found in the cemeteries of the Wielbark culture. Other items were made of metal type B, often found in Roman period artefacts. It is high in zinc content and created with the use of non-mixed brass. This smallest group in the analysed data set appears both in cemeteries of the Wielbark and Przeworsk cultures. Also quite prelevant were recycled alloys, obtained through melting together various raw materials (lower zinc content metal – type A). Most of such brooches are from the Mazovian sites. This may indicate the functioning of local workshops there, which worked using available, processed raw material.
