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.
‘Warrior-women’ in Viking Age Scandinavia? A preliminary archaeological study
(Institute of Archaeology Rzeszów University, 2013) Gardeła, Leszek
This paper seeks to provide a new contribution to the debates on Viking Age women by focusing on a rather controversial notion of ‘female warriors’. The core of the article comprises a preliminary survey of archaeological evidence for female graves with weapons (axes, spears, swords and arrowheads) from Viking Age Scandinavia. Attention is focused not only on the types of weapons deposited with the deceased, but first and foremost on the meanings which similar practices may have had for the past societies. The author discusses why, where and how the weapons were placed in female graves and attempts to trace some patterns in this unusual funerary behaviour. In addition to exploring the funerary evidence, the iconographic representations of what could be regarded as ‘female warriors’ are also briefly considered. Lastly, a few remarks are also made on the notion of armed women in the textual sources.
‘With a Weapon in Hand and a Horse by Side.’ Weapons and Horse Harness in Graves of Vekerzug Culture from an Interregional Perspective
(Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie, 2021) Kozubová, Anita
This study deals with graves of Vekerzug culture, which contained weapons and horse harness. These graves reflect an evident social differentiation of Vekerzug society. Special attention in the study was paid to the most accurate geographic and cultural determination of the origin of individual weapon types and horse harness components in the context of new knowledge about Vekerzug culture and answering the question to what extent these finds reflect its interregional contacts. Important is also definition of possible armament schemes of Vekerzug culture and their comparison with armament schemes in the neighbouring cultural regions, especially with the forest-steppe Western Podolian group, Ciumbrud culture and Ferigile culture. Cultural and spatial analyses of individual types of weapons and horse harness as well as of the armament schemes of Vekerzug culture show that the problem of interregional contacts of this culture, mainly the eastern ones, must be considered more differentially than it has been previously presented in scientific literature. At the same time, they confirm the recent knowledge that the effect of eastern influences on Vekerzug culture is in scientific literature without a reason constantly overestimated.
