Pochówki w kryptach pod południową nawą kościoła pojezuickiego pw. św. Jana w Lublinie
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2016) Niedźwiadek, Rafał
At the beginning of the twenty first century a major renovation of the Jesuit church in Lublin (now the archcathedral basilica) was performed. Under the project, new functions of the underground of the church were to gain. In the course of studies, crypts were discovered beneath the southern nave, where more than 100 dead were buried. These finds initiated interdisciplinary research carried out in 2001–2002. During the field work very large material was collected, such as skeletal and plant remains, textile fabrics and overclothes, coffin lining, wooden coffins, movable artefacts. The results of the studies allowed us to describe the material manifestation of funeral rites prevailing among the Commonwealth elites in the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century. The archaeological excavations conducted there as well as the ordered specialized analyzes were among the first such studies tasked for this type of sites in the Polish science.
