He was known for his professional and organisational abilities, his great erudition and fine writing. For many years (1945–1965), Antoniewicz was connected with the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw. His archaeological interests covered a wide range of topics, including the periods from the Early Iron Age to the Early Middle Ages of north-eastern Poland. Antoniewicz participated in creating Polish scientific and cultural institutions in Warmia and Masuria, until the end of World War II part of the German province of East Prussia. He directed comprehensive excavations of archaeological sites in the area where the Sudovians, an extinct Baltic tribe, had settled. He was founder of the so-called Complex Sudovian Expedition, and the periodical “Acta Baltico-Slavica”. His excavations, research and scholarly initiatives preceded his times. Antoniewicz was a scholar and research manager whose organizational skills could not develop fully in the political reality of the Polish People’s Republic. Among the many Polish archaeologists who were his contemporaries, none expanded their research activities on such a scale, extending beyond the institutional boundaries of the system}, type={Text}, title={Jerzy Antoniewicz (1919–1970) – an archaeological career in the Polish People’s Republic}, keywords={Jerzy Antoniewicz, archaeology of the Balts, State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw, Complex Sudovian Expedition, scientific institutions in north-eastern Poland}, }
