Abstract The presence of wild boar on the island of Crete has been discussed since the beginning of Cretan archaeology. Presumed wild individuals are depicted on various types of objects from the Minoan period. Wild pig remains have been identified on several Cretan sites ranging from the Neolithic to the Byzantine period. Despite the relatively large number of such reports, the nature of evidence from the island is often unclear or at least questionable. Available biometric data do not support the establishment of a stable wild population on the island during its history. This paper provides a detailed overview of contemporary evidence and highlights the need for systematic data collection.

Abstract The paper discusses a mysterious zoomorphic wolf-shaped copper alloy artefact that was discovered as a stray find in Międzyrzecz (Poland). The find is bar-like with a profiled engraved image of a lying animal, possibly a wolf. It is locally gilded on the visible side of “wolf” details. The gilding was made using an amalgam technique known since Antiquity, with the base metal composed of arsenical copper alloy with lead addition. A fixing element made of iron has only survived fragmentarily, which renders the reconstruction of the entire artefact’s shape impossible. Its function has not been identified, but a broad spectrum of possible interpretations has been proposed. Stylistic traits allow to date the artefact to the Migration Period, or more specifically to the 6th century. The wolf image implies that the artefact can be related to the Germanic warriors’ world. At present, it cannot be determined whether there was a 6th century settlement cluster in the vicinity of Międzyrzecz to which the find can be related, or we are dealing with an isolated testimony of population translocations.

Abstract This paper The data from the article was presented by the author during 16th SKAM Lithic Workshop (“Fossil Directeur”. A Phenomenon over Time and Space), 21–23 October 2019, Nitra, Slovak Republic, presentation: The Late Palaeolithic in Toruń Basin in the light of the latest research in Brzoza, site 50 (poster session). presents the preliminary findings related to the excavations in Brzoza site 50, commune Wielka Nieszawka, Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship (Poland). The Late Palaeolithic site complex in Brzoza – until the end of 1990s known as Toruń-Rudak – is located it Toruń Basin (Poland), in the grounds of a military shooting range on the left bank of Vistula south of the city. According to the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Monuments Conservator the whole complex was defined as one, site no. 50. Rescue excavations in Brzoza in years 2015–2018 were conducted by the District Museum in Toruń. In total 276 m2 were excavated, resulting in documentation of over 11 000 flint products. The research was funded from the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivode budget via the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Monuments Conservator and the District Museum in Toruń. The research consisted of archaeological exploration at the remains of the dune embankment, to locate and document undisturbed (in situ) cultural features (flint concentrations). In order to capture the stratigraphic situation in the vicinity of the planned research excavations and to locate the cultural layer with the flint materials linked to the Late Palaeolithic surveys were conducted by means of drillings. The following specialist examinations and consultations were carried out: geological and geomorphological documentation; analyzes of the geographical environment and pedostratigraphy of the research area; from selected profiles soil samples were taken for TL and OSL method analyses. Against the background of other well-known sites with tanged points in northern Poland, the area under study stands out both in terms of the number of flint products obtained and the documented flint concentrations. It must be emphasized that the context of new flint concentrations discovered in Brzoza in the years 2015–2018 is different than that of earlier investigations. Flint products were discovered in a preserved planigraphic and stratigraphic layout; not on a secondary deposit, as was the case, among others in the 1970s. New concentrations discovered in 2015–2018 are related to the Late Palaeolithic technocomplex with tanged points. Amongst flint tools there are elements typologically characteristic to Ahrensburg and Swiderian culture, and individual finds that can be associated with Bromme assemblages. At the present stage of research the acquired flint materials can be linked to the Late Palaeolithic communities present in the area presumably in the younger Dryas. Brzoza site complex occupies an important place in the research of the Late Palaeolithic of northern Poland.

Abstract Since 1941, only five Bronze Age hoards have been found in the four provinces around Sweden’s Lakes Mälaren and Hjälmaren: three in Uppland, two in Södermanland, none in Västmanland or Närke. The most recent one appeared in 2016. Here each hoard is discussed in terms of its date, the regional affiliation of its contents, and its landscape situation. They all date from Per. V–VI, c. 950–520 cal BC, and are entirely dominated by locally made objects. Two sites are apparently peripheral in relation to period settlement and to other deposition sites, while two are in an area of dense settlement and were found during the same military metal detector campaign. The steep drop in new hoard finds after World War II is discussed, and Sweden’s restrictive metal detector legislation is identified as the main reason that only five hoards have come to light in the area over the past eighty years.

Abstract More than sixty years ago, J. Kostrzewski published a paper titled Ze studiów nad wczesnym okresem żelaznym w Polsce (Studies on the early Iron Age in Poland; in the German version Studien über die ältere Eisenzeit in Polen). The article was a product of his long-time research, readings and searches conducted during the turbulent first half of the 20th century. Kostrzewski’s work is still one of Poland’s basic chronological studies of the HaC and HaD. The text contained a substantial analysis of the “Kuyavian bronzes”, also called the “Stanomin-style” dress accessories, named after the hoard from Stanomin. New finds, as well as 14C and dendrochronological datings, significantly changed our understanding of the cultural processes in Poland’s early Iron Age. The dating of the “Kuyavian bronzes” and the interpretation of the associated phenomena have never been the subject of a comprehensive study. The following text shall focus on this specific category of metal artefacts – crucial for understanding the chronological variation of the Polish early Iron Age.
60多年前,J. Kostrzewski发表了一篇名为《Ze studiów nad wczesnym okresem żelaznym w Polsce (Studies on early Iron Age in Poland;德文版本为《Studien ber die ältere Eisenzeit in Polen》)。这篇文章是他在动荡的20世纪上半叶进行的长期研究、阅读和搜索的产物。Kostrzewski的工作仍然是波兰对HaC和HaD的基本时间研究之一。该文本包含了对“Kuyavian青铜器”的大量分析,也被称为“Stanomin风格”的服装配饰,以Stanomin的窖藏命名。新的发现,以及14C和树木年代学的年代测定,极大地改变了我们对波兰早期铁器时代文化进程的理解。“Kuyavian青铜器”的年代测定和对相关现象的解释从未成为全面研究的主题。下面的文本将集中在这一特定类别的金属人工制品上,这对于理解波兰早期铁器时代的时间变化至关重要。

Abstract Attempts were made in several locations in Central Europe to continue minting in gold, following the Celtic Boii tradition which began to fade after the collapse of the Bohemian-Moravian oppida at the turn of the LTD1/D2 phases (ca. 60/50 BC). The main center for the continuation of this activity was in the lands of the Pannonian Boii, in the Bratislava area, and probably in the Bratislava oppidum itself. This paper focuses on three other minting centers which were established north of the Carpathians and Sudetes among the northern barbarians and which imitated late Boii gold coins: one in the Tyniec group near Kraków, and two in the main Przeworsk culture settlement zones on the middle Prosna River near Kalisz and in Kuyavia. These northern mints, undoubtedly operated by experienced Celtic minters, recycled extremely popular shell staters with solar and lunar motifs that were reintroduced into circulation with a renewed stamp or after having been legalized by adding small additional marks. They also issued various small coins made of electrum alloys, significantly varying in weight (mostly about 1/8 of a Boii stater), with an abstract knob-and-rib ornamentation reminiscent of the motifs featuring on the youngest coins minted at the oppidums in Staré Hradisko (Moravia) and Bratislava. The nominally gold coins issued in the Oder and Vistula basins must have provided the equivalent in supra-regional prestige exchange, which is indicated by their extensive circulation zone. One of the reasons for the disappearance of the local minting traditions among the northern barbarian elites might have been the massive influx of Roman coinage into the Central European Barbaricum in the second century AD.

Abstract The Gordineşti II-Stînca goală is an archaeological site located in the northern part of the Moldavian Plateau in Edineț Region. Chronologically this settlement is linked to the later phase of the Tripolye Culture. Currently, in archaeological literature, the problems of human occupation, land management, and spatial arrangement of settlements in Moldova during the Eneolithic are highly understudied. In this paper, we present the results of recent archaeological works focusing on the spatial patterning of housing structures, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey, and desk-based Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) analysis, that has been undertaken to further the understanding of the spatial organisation of the Gordineşti II-Stînca goală settlement. The results indicate the high archaeological potential of this site, with the likely presence of multiple housing structures arranged in a planned and functional manner.
gorordineiti ii - st nca goalei是位于edineoi地区Moldavian高原北部的一个考古遗址。按时间顺序,这个定居点与特里波利文化的后期阶段有关。目前,在考古文献中,对新石器时代摩尔多瓦人类居住、土地管理和空间安排等问题的研究还很不足。在本文中,我们介绍了最近的考古工作的结果,重点是住房结构的空间格局,探地雷达(GPR)调查和基于桌面的核密度估计(KDE)分析,这些工作已经进行,以进一步了解ordineiti ii - st nca目标定居点的空间组织。结果表明,该遗址具有很高的考古潜力,可能存在以规划和功能方式安排的多个住房结构。

Zusammenfassung Einer der wichtigsten Fundplätze der Zarubincy-Kultur im Gebiet des mittleren Dnjepr ist die Siedlung von Pilipenkova Gora. Sie liegt etwa 2,5 km südöstlich der Stadt Kaniw auf einer Landzunge am rechten Ufer des Dnjepr. Das Plateau, auf dem sich der Fundort befindet, umfasst eine Fläche von etwa 1,5 ha. Die Spuren der latènezeitlichen Siedlung erstrecken sich über das gesamte Gebiet des Vorgebirges. Pilipenkova Gora wurde 1945 bei einer von T. S. Passek durchgeführten Feldbegehung entdeckt. Im Jahr 1948 wurden hier archäologische Ausgrabungen durchgeführt, die die Identifizierung von drei (?) Wohnstrukturen ermöglichten, die der Zarubincy-Kultur zugeschrieben werden. Später, in den Jahren von 1966–1970, wurde die Siedlung von E. V. Maksimov ausgegraben und eine Fläche von 3000 m2 freigelegt. Als Ergebnis dieser archäologischen Untersuchungen wurden mehr als 30 Wohngebäuden und 100 Gruben aus der der jüngeren vorrömischen Eisen- und frühen Römischen Kaiserzeit entdeckt.
