Archaeology in a scrapyard, or how a monument ceases to be a monument
(the Authors, 2020) Florek, Marek; Kokowski, Andrzej
Amateur searches for archaeological artefacts, most frequently with the use of metal detectors, are generally aimed at building up private collections. They have also become a source of income in the illegal trade in artefacts. Collecting ancient artefacts as recyclable metal is a new phenomenon. At the scrapyard in Milczany, Sandomierz district, several kilograms of such scrap were found, among which two fibulae from the Roman period, Almgren 67 and 43, were recognised. They are valuable in the research into the history of the Przeworsk Culture. The authors also note the widespread practice of collecting striped flint, used by modern jewellers, which has resulted in the devastation of several sites which were relics of ancient mines of this material. The authors consider the scientific value of the recovered artefacts, which often cannot be localised precisely. They call for the unceasing promotion of the value of archaeological artefacts and indicate its effectiveness in the Hrubieszow Basin.
Geophysical Survey and Archaeological Excavations at the Roman Period Cemetery in Nezabylice (Chomutov District, Northwest Bohemia)
(Fundacja Rzeszowskiego Ośrodka Archeologicznego, 2017) Půlpánová-Reszczyńska, Agnieszka; Půlpán, Marek; Křivánek, Roman
This article presents the results of geophysical surveys, which were carried out during the period between 2011 and 2016 at the Roman period cemetery in Nezabylice (Chomutov district, Usti Region, NW Bohemia). Thanks to these non-destructive surveys, the unusually large scale and signs of the inner structure of the cemetery have been unveiled. On this basis, long-term systematic archaeological research has been carried out, so far uncovering a number of urn graves with military equipment, pit cremation graves, an elite inhumation grave, and several regular structures from Roman period. The results of the comprehensive research suggest that it is the largest and richest cemetery of the Roman period in northwest Bohemia. However, the site is gradually being devastated not only by cyclical agrarian activities but also by the impact of illegal plundering. Therefore, an important aspect of non-destructive surveys is the recording of the current state of the burial ground, the information value of which is gradually degrading.
Grot włóczni z okresu rzymskiego odkryty w miejscowości Gorzyce, powiat tarnobrzeski
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2016) Karski, Kamil; Kuraś, Monika; Tokarczyk, Tomasz
The article presents an iron spearhead discovered in the village Gorzyce, district Tarnobrzeg. Based on the analysis of the metric features, the artefact can be classified as the type XXI by Piotr Kaczanowski, i.e. a spearhead characterized by a relatively long and massive blade and a short socket. It is necessary to associate it with settlement of the Przeworsk culture within a range of dates from the end of the older to the beginning of the younger Roman period.
„Luźne” znaleziska żelaznych grotów oszczepów kultury przeworskiej z Wyżyny Sandomierskiej i jej obrzeża
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2020) Florek, Marek
The subject of the research are 5 spearheads from the villages: Leszczków, Rytwiany, Szczeka and Lubienia, in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship. The artefacts, apart from the one from Szczeka, were found by accident, probably in the course of illegal searches with the use of metal detectors. The spearheads should be dated to the younger Pre-Roman period and the Roman period. They probably come from the destroyed cremation graves from the unknown so far cemeteries of the Przeworsk culture.
Wyniki badań archeologicznych na wielokulturowym stanowisku 22 w Trepczy, pow. sanocki
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2023-12) Bulas, Jan; Kotowicz, Piotr
This article presents the results of the first research excavation carried out at the multicultural site No. 22 in Trepcza. The aim of the fieldwork was to verify the hypothesis of the presence of a necropolis dating back to the Early Middle Ages in this location. As a result of the excavations, the hypothesis of the site from this period was not positively verified, however some finds dating back to the Bronze Age, the Early Iron Age, as well as features and materials related to the Przeworsk culture from the Early and Younger Roman period were discovered at the discussed place. Among the recorded features, there was a relic of an object embedded in the ground, resembling a sunken-floored or semi-sunken-floored dwelling.
