The rediscovery of a labour camp on the construction site of the Stalin Monument in Prague in spring 2021 was the result of a construction project of the Municipality of Prague. Until then, the existence of this specific site had not been reflected neither in the historical memory of the place nor in the literature devoted to the monstrous monument (dismantled in 1962), which was both a superb work of art and engineering and the most significant material manifestation of the cult of Stalin’s personality outside the USSR. The discovered remains of the camp’s modest, purely purpose-built buildings, as well as the artifacts and ecofacts that illustrate the living conditions of its inhabitants, contrast sharply with the costly, expressive, and landscape-dominating monument. The results of the archaeological research make a distinctive contribution to the contemporary debate on the nature of the Stalinist regime in Czechoslovakia, as they thematise the bloodless yet pervasive aspect of the regime’s repressiveness.

During the archaeological research conducted in 2019 under the project “The Former Headquarters of the Gestapo and the Communist Provincial Office of Public Security in Anstadt Avenue in Łódź. Interdisciplinary Site Research” under the supervision of Dr Olgierd Ławrynowicz, an object filled with products on a paper base and bookbinding materials was found in one of the excavations. This paper attempts to clarify the chronology of paper products and to identify their type (typescripts, prints of monetary value, books, bookbinding materials, arrangement drawings, other paper products) and the material used. The visible content was identified using basic research methods and digital photographic documentation of it was made to preserve it.

As Biblia pauperum, we define not only books with an abbreviated text of Sacred Scripture, which were dominated by illustrations, but also cycles of artistic representations, e.g. painted on the walls of churches or decorating window stained-glass windows. However, other iconographic sources, such as stove tiles, are much less known. As archaeological monuments, most often preserved in fragments, they have not yet been thoroughly analysed. The article discusses medieval and Renaissance tiles with figural scenes with biblical motifs. As the archaeological sites most often feature several tiles decorated with similar thematic motifs, they should be treated as evidence of a conscious decision to show the cycle of events described in the Bible on the stove.

The archaeological research conducted in 1970 confirmed that there are remains of a late medieval motte-and-bailey castle in Chechło. At that time, the structure was almost completely destroyed by farmstead construction, with only one small section of an earth wall preserved. During the conservator’s intervention in 1998, hundreds of unprocessed artefacts were discovered in the collection of the Provincial Office of Monument Preservation in Katowice, again drawing attention to this interesting site. Due to the expansion of the farmstead, the cultural stratification of the motte-and-bailey castle was damaged. Today, degradation and destruction by the contemporary infrastructure make it impossible to conduct further verification research, which would allow to better explore the remains of the site. Based on written sources and analysis of the finds, we can draw some new conclusions concerning its operation. There is no doubt that the manor already existed in the fourteenth century and that it was also used in the following centuries. It is difficult to say anything about the appearance of the manor at the time. It was most probably surrounded by an earth wall, small remains of which have been preserved until today. The discovered ceramic shards and fragments of stove tiles indicate that the residence was still used in the modern era, meaning the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, by representatives of the local gentry.

The paper discusses the possibilities of interpreting the remains of twentieth-century architecture in the historical context based on the archaeological research results presented. Analysis of archaeological sources concerns a location in today’s Wały Jagiellońskie Street in Gdańsk. The discovered walls have been identified as the historical address 5 Dominikswall Street. The text presents the forty six years of history of the discovered property based on historical sources. The data collected constitutes a fragment of the common history of two wealthy Gdańsk families – Muscate and Rosenbaum.

W pierwszej dekadzie kwietnia 2019 r. przeprowadzono archeologiczne badania ratownicze przy ulicy Podgórnej 1 we Wronkach. Dotąd na terenie wronieckiej Starówki nie rozpoznano metodą archeologiczną żadnej historycznej działki mieszkalnej. W wykopach wytyczonych w partii frontowej posesji zarejestrowano układ nawarstwień kulturowych z końca XIV – początków XXI w., odsłonięto pozostałości domu mieszkalnego wzniesionego w konstrukcji szkieletowej w drugiej połowie XVII – początkach XVIII w., pozyskano zbiór ponad 1300 fragmentów ceramiki średniowiecznej, nowożytnej i współczesnej. Niestety, ograniczenia wynikające z przyjętego ratowniczego trybu badań uniemożliwiły dogłębne przebadanie całej powierzchni parceli.

The paper presents the results of rescue archaeological excavations carried out at the site of the former German forced labour camp KL Jawischowitz, a sub-camp of KL Auschwitz-Birkenau. It discusses the historical material related to individual phases of use of the building complex as well as the camp architecture and the accompanying technical infrastructure. The remains of architecture connected with two blocks of flats and the camp infrastructure functioning in the years 1942–1945 and also used later were discovered. Movable historical objects obtained during the research in the form of fragments of ceramics (porcelain, tiles, and construction ceramics) and glass, connected with the functioning of the German forced labour camp, were also analysed. Between 1945 and 1950, the camp was used by the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic as a forced labour camp for German citizens, members of the NSDAP and the Hitlerjugend, Volksdeutsche, and people suspected of disloyalty to Poland. The last stage of the operation of the former camp complex took place after 1950, when it was converted into a workers’ housing estate. Since the demolition of the housing estate in the 1970s the area has been used as a park, which is currently undergoing revitalisation.

The paper discusses the research methods and the most important results of the interdisciplinary project “The Former Gestapo Headquarters and the Provincial Office of Public Security in Anstadt Avenue in Łódź. Interdisciplinary Site Research” conducted in 2019–2021. Considering the challenges faced by the archaeology of the contemporary past, a subdiscipline of archaeology, an attempt was made to link the results of archaeological research to the relatively well-known historical context of structural and functional transformations of the site explored, mostly the establishment of a Jewish school in Anstadt Avenue at the end of the 1930s, the operation of the Gestapo headquarters during the Second World War and of the communist Provincial Office of Public Security after the war, and the division of the site into police and school sections in 1957, which has been preserved to date. Also ethnographic research was carried out, which identified sources referring to the forms of remembrance and commemoration of places, events, and people. The Authors hope that the archaeological research will be soon resumed on account of the planned investments, allowing to publish a complementary and interdisciplinary monograph of the site explored.

The article discusses selected issues concerning the morphology of cemeteries of completely depopulated rural settlement units located in the part of East Prussia that was incorporated into Poland in 1945. The boundaries and spatial forms of the cemeteries were analysed and interpreted. These are actually the best-preserved components of the landscape of these historical burial places. The basic source material used in the study for the identification and preliminary analysis of the boundaries and shapes of the cemeteries were the sheets of the Topographische Karte Messtischblatt map from the 1920s–1940s and orthophotomaps showing the current land cover. Detailed analyses were performed using altitude measurement data from airborne laser scanning (resource of the Central Office of Geodesy and Cartography). The research results show clear differences in the size and shape of cemeteries belonging to specific types of settlement units. The preserved relics testify to the different ways of organising burial places at single-manor estates, where family cemeteries functioned, and those established in villages. The results of the analysis also indicate the characteristic features of the contemporary landscape of former Evangelical cemeteries, facilitating their field identification.
