Workshop (27-28.10) devoted to the topic of regional variation in Mycenaean pottery – dr hab. Bartłomiej Lis

Dear All,

We would like to bring to your attention an international workshop devoted to the topic of regional variation in Mycenaean pottery, organized by Bartłomiej Lis from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences. It is a two-day online event, scheduled on October 27th and 28th, and starting at 1 PM (Central European Summer Time).

Textile technology in Bronze Age Greece. Part I: Raw materials

A new video about textile raw materials in antiquity

Welcome to the new video of Agata Ulanowska about textile raw materials in antiquity. This is the first video in a short series about textile production made for the educational project ‘Artefacts, Creativity, Technology, and Skills from Prehistory to the Classical Period in Greece. Communities of Learning in the Past and in Higher Education Today’ (ACTS), funded by the 4EU+ Alliance and the Erasmus+ programme. Two more videos about about spinning and weaving are coming soon.

Artefacts, Creativity, Technology, and Skills from Prehistory to the Classical Period in Greece – 4EU+ educational project and summer semester courses

We welcome you to join the summer semester courses offered by the new educational project funded by the 4EU+ Alliance, the first archaeological project integrating teachers and students from four 4EU+ Universities: Heidelberg, Charles, Copenhagen and Warsaw. The project is titled ‘Artefacts, Creativity, Technology, and Skills from Prehistory to the Classical Period in Greece. Communities of Learning in the Past and in Higher Education Today’ (ACTS) and it has been designed as a new platform of innovative research-based teaching among the four partner universities: Heidelberg, Charles, Copenhagen and UW.
The recruitment slot for the course offered by the FA UW (Communities of practice: hands-on approach to skills and textile technology in Bronze Age Greece, by A. Ulanowska, hybrid on Mondays, 16.45-18.15 CET) is opened now (24/01-6/02.2022 and 14/02-20/02). The UW students need to enroll via USOS.For the offer and registration links for the courses offered by the Charles and Heidelberg Universities, please see here: https://4euplus.eu/4EU-303.html. The CU has already offered two courses: Ancient Ionia (for description, see: https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/predmety/index.php?do=predmet&kod=AKA500090) and Archaeology of production: methods and experience (https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/predmety/index.php?do=predmet&kod=AKA500127), registration slot: 07/02/2022 – 04/03/2022. Heidelberg offer will appear soon.The recruitment for the summer school at Athens (24/07-31/07/2022) will start in March or April. Please note that students who wish to apply for the school must prove their participation in other courses offered by the ACTS project.

Kind regards,

about the Department:

The Department was created from the fusion of two departments of the former Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw: the Department of Early Medieval Archaeology and the Department of Late Medieval and Modern Era Archaeology. The areas of interest of the staff fall within the broad spectrum of problems relevant to these periods (i.e. early and late Middle Ages and modern times), along with their specificity and scientific workshop. The subject of research are various aspects of the material and spiritual culture of those times, reconstructed on the basis of archaeological sources, obtained, among others as a result of own field works, carried out mainly in the area of northern and north-eastern Poland (within the borders of early medieval Pomerania and the Prussian-Yotvingian lands and the medieval monastic state in Teutonic Prussia). They are complemented by various research projects undertaken in Mazovia, Podlachia and abroad. In-office studies, supported by a rich collection of archival artefacts stored at the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw (e.g. from Chojnice, Ciechanów, Frombork, Gdańsk, Lębork, Rawa Mazowiecka, Sąsiadka, Wiślica), go far beyond the indicated geographic scope.

The main research topics of the Department’s employees focus on:
• the formation and disappearance of early medieval tribal structures in Prussia, Yotvingian lands and Pomerania, the material and spiritual culture of those communities inhabiting these lands and their relations with the inhabitants of neighbouring areas;
• comprehensive studies of various categories of finds representative of medieval towns and castle complexes (including ceramics, glass, wooden and leather finds);
• archaeological and architectural research;
• the use of isotope analyses in archaeology to determine the chronology of finds (radiocarbon dating), diet (stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur), origin and migration (stable isotopes of strontium and oxygen), as well as DNA analyses;
• archival archaeology and reconstruction of collections lost and dispersed as a result of World War II, from former museum collections from Polish lands (within the borders of the Second and Third Republic of Poland) and related to Poland.

In carrying out their research, the staff of the department cooperate with representatives of other scientific and museum centres in Poland, as well as with researchers from Belarus, Czechia, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Russia and Ukraine.

The sites excavated by the staff of the department:

  • Błonie, Masovian voivodeship, medieval chartered town (town plots; K. Blusiewicz)

  • Ciepłe, Pomeranian voivodeship, early medieval cemetery (S. Wadyl)

  • Czaszkowo (former Lake Nidajno), Warmian and Mazurian voivodeship, sacrificial place from late antiquity (in cooperation with the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Science; T. Nowakiewicz)

  • Człuchów, Pomeranian voivodeship, Teutonic and gubernator’s castle (M. Starski, K. Blusiewicz)

  • Debrzno, Pomeranian voivodeship, medieval town and defensive walls (M. Miścicki, M. Truszkowski)

  • Obłęże, Pomeranian voivodeship, early medieval barrow cemetery and stronghold (in cooperation with the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń; S. Wadyl)

  • Pasym, Warmian and Mazurian voivodeship, early medieval stronghold (S. Wadyl)

  • Puck, Pomeranian voivodeship, medieval chartered town (town plots, church graveyard; M. Starski, K. Blusiewicz)

  • Skarszewy, Pomeranian voivodeship, medieval chartered town (town plots, fortifications; M. Starski, K. Blusiewicz)

  • Szczeberka (vicinity), Podlachia voivodeship, a complex of early medieval cemeteries on the Szczeberka River (in cooperation with the Terra Desolata Foundation; T. Nowakiewicz)

  • Shestovitsa, Chernihiv region, Ukraine, early medieval barrow cemetery (in cooperation with the Taras Shevchenko Chernihiv National Pedagogical University; D. Błaszczyk, V. Skorokhod)
