Search for: [Abstract = "The author discusses a hypothesis concerning the final stage of functioning of a small, medieval hillfort located on „Zamczysko” hill in Sanok\-Biała Góra. Artefacts found during excavations and other stray finds are dated to the second half of the 13th and 14th centuries. Among them over 130 projectile heads were found, which confirms – apart of the traces of fire on the courtyard – that the hillfort was destroyed in the course of a warlike onslaught. The analysis of the political situation in the vicinity of Sanok in this time allows to relate connect these facts to the military activity of the Polish King Casimir III the Great. This ruler who succeeded to the throne of the Duchy of Galicia after Duke Bolesław Jerzy II had been poisoned by boyars in 1340, marched with his troops and occupied the western part of the duchy, including Sanok."]
