A Child’s Grave Robe from the Northern Crypt of St Anne’s Church in Konotop, Lubuskie Province, Poland
(the Authors, 2022-12) Grupa, Małgorzata; Jasiak, Krzysztof; Grupa, Dawid; Nalaskowski, Filip
An ossuary was found in a brass sarcophagus, dated to 1720 based on a medallion. The archaeological material was mixed with rubbish and sand. Inside the sarcophagus, the remains of both adults and children were discovered. These are believed to be members of the von Kottwitz family, former owners of Konotop. The separation of the material into different types of cloth was quite painstaking and lengthy. Only one of the grave robes has survived in an almost intact condition. It was a simple grave robe without a back. During the analysis of the skeletal remains, it was matched to the red stained skeleton of an infant.
A Double Child Coffin from the Southern Crypt of the Holy Trinity Church in Radzyń Podlaski (19th Century)
(the Authors, 2022-12) Dabralet, Igor; Michalik, Jakub; Grupa, Małgorzata; Gałka, Barbara
The lives of children in the past were both ephemeral and fragile. The birth of a child, although expected and prayed for, was inevitably connected with the fear of death of both the mother and child, and every childbirth was a kind of a challenge. Unfortunately, in many cases, it finished with death during the delivery or just after. Surviving childhood safely was a constant struggle for the smaller members of a community. This information is evidenced during archaeological explorations of churches and burial grounds. No matter whether they were rich or poor, death took its toll on every social group. There was only the difference in the way of burial ceremony and accessories attributed to it. Some of the child burials were comparable with the richest burials of adults. One of them, a burial in a double coffin, attracted archaeologists’ attention at the very beginning of exploration in Radzyń Podlaski. A child burial in a double coffin can be classified as a unique find, not only in the area of Poland but also in Europe.
Apokalipsa w krypcie grobowej. Polichromia Joanny Piech i Romana Kalarusa w podziemiach katowickiej katedry
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Makówka, Leszek
W krypcie grobowej biskupów katowickich, znajdującej się w podziemiach śląskiej katedry, powstała w 2017 roku polichromia inspirowana przesłaniem ostatniej księgi Pisma Świętego, Apokalipsy według św. Jana. Autorami projektu i wykonawcami są katowiccy artyści Joanna Piech i Roman Kalarus. Apokalipsa zapowiada nadejście panowania Bożego, czego symbolem jest obraz Nowego Jeruzalem rozplanowany na centralnej ścianie krypty. Pozostałe przedstawienia nawiązują do dramatycznych wydarzeń poprzedzających ostateczne zwycięstwo Boga. Polichromia jest kolejną monumentalną realizacją artystów we wnętrzach kościelnych. Podobnie jak we wcześniejszych pracach wykorzystali oni własne doświadczenia artystyczne: Piech – graficzki, Kalarus – plakacisty. Formalnie ekspresję przedstawienia niesie mocna paleta barwna. Artyści użyli barw w ich podstawowych tonach o głębokim nasyceniu. Siłę wyrazu wzmacniają wręcz agresywne kontrasty kolorystyczne. Niewątpliwie katowicka polichromia stanowi ważny przykład współczesnego malarstwa ściennego w przestrzeni kościelnej.
Results of Archaeometrical Studies on a Kontush Sash from Piaseczno (Pomorskie Province, Poland)
(the Authors, 2023-12-29) Miazga, Beata; Grupa, Dawid; Grupa, Małgorzata
Archaeometric studies on silk thread wound around with metal strips are still rarely undertaken in Poland. Their popularization seems to be necessary, however, as there are many problems to solve. In the case of a kontush sash manufactured in Gdańsk as archaeological finds, the main question is whether they used metal strips prepared by local craftsmen, what raw material was employed, and what methods of gilding were implemented. Only future regular studies and analyses can answer these questions. The article presents the results of tests on metal strips wound around silk threads coming from a kontush sash manufactured by Besch, excavated in the crypt under the presbytery of the church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Piaseczno (Pomorskie voivodeship, Poland).
Silk band and metal appliqués of a child’s bonnet from the northern crypt of the parish church in Gniew
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2019) Grupa, Małgorzata; Łukaszewicz, Jadwiga W.
The number of archaeological explorations of churches has increased in recent years. Inside medieval or Baroque temples, researchers report much more favourable conditions for the preservation of various kinds of artefacts which have been placed inside coffins as grave goods, in particular organic materials such as silk, leather, and wood). Exploring the northern crypt of St. Nicolas church in Gniew, the researchers’ attention was focused on a child burial (aged 10–14). Despite the large number of exceptional finds supplied by this site, this one stood out as all the entire coffin space had been filled with silk bands and ribbons with green corrosion products on their surfaces. Preliminary examination showed that they were bunches of metal bands which had originally been meant to imitate plant branches. The decision was made to expand traditional technological analyses of archaeometrical tests of both textiles and metal appliqués. The material presented below is the first part of these analyses.
