Stove tiles were decorated with motifs that were widely recognized and important in the lives of ordinary people. These images of Christ, the Virgin Mary, saints and scenes from the Scripture helped individuals to keep and defend the faith, especially in times of need. They gave people the much needed feeling of God’s presence in their lives and at the same time allowed them to express their religious beliefs by decorating furnaces with this type of motifs L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/66291/PDF/WA308_85991_P357_Symbolism-aesthetics_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 55 (2017) PY - 2017 EP - 97 KW - stove tiles KW - iconography KW - decoration KW - religious motifs KW - saints and martyrs A1 - Mazur, Dominika PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 55 CY - Warszawa SP - 89 T1 - Symbolism, aesthetics, faith – a few words about religious decoration on tile stoves UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/66291 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - The Rothschild Lycurgus Cup from the 4th c.

It is mainly of Iron Age date, specifically, Púchov culture. The pottery assemblage from the site is particularly abundant. Remains from Jerusalem Hill include fragmentary jugs with handles decorated with one or two animal heads; parallels are known from several fortified settlements in the Spiš and neighbouring regions. Recently, Jerusalem Hill was excavated in 2013. The paper offers some preliminary results of the archaeological research, in particular selected ceramic shapes from Jerusalem Hill, coming from the different localities and different excavations (including an earlier salvage dig and the most recent, as yet unpublished project carried out in 2013).

Although the presence of outcrops of a kind of chert, named Buda hornstone was already known by geological and petrographic investigations, the developing Hungarian petroarchaeological research did not pay much attention to this raw material. Its archaeological perspectives have been opened by a discovery made at the Denevér street in western part of Budapest in the 1980s. During the excavations of the flint mine, not much was known about the distribution of this raw material in the archaeological record. Since then the growing amount of archaeological evidences showed that its first significant occurrence in assemblages can be dated to the Late Copper Age Baden culture, and it became more abundant through the Early Bronze age Bell-Beaker culture until the Middle Bronze Age tell cultures. Until now, 15 outcrops of the Buda hornstone have been localised on the surface. Based on thin section examinations taken from two different outcrops, we have made a clear distinction between three variants. In the last few years, archaeological supervision has been conducted during house constructions, suggesting the Buda hornstone occurrence takes the form of a secondary autochthonous type of source. In the framework of our research program, a systematic check of the raw materials is planned in the lithic assemblages of the nearby prehistoric sites, as well as to look for extraction pits or other mining features with the application of geophysical methods and a thorough analysis of the surface morphology L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73282/PDF/WA308_88963_P356_New-Perspectives-on_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 189 KW - Copper Age KW - Bronze Age KW - lithics KW - raw material KW - mining KW - chert KW - Hungary A1 - Faragó, Norbert A1 - Péter, Réka Katalin A1 - Cserpák, Ferenc A1 - Kraus, Dávid A1 - Mester, Zsolt PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 167 T1 - New Perspectives on the Problems of the Exploitation Area and the Prehistoric Use of the Buda Hornstone in Hungary UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73282 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities which settled the eastern Carpathians Forelands and Carpathian Foothills used a variety of local and non-local siliceous raw materials. Silicites identified in archaeological material differ in quality and usefulness for making tools. Obsidian, Jurassic flint from the Cracow-Częstochowa Uplands, ‘chocolate’ flint, and Świeciechów (grey white-spotted) and Volhynian flints are the best quality. They were commonly used from the Early Neolithic onwards. On the other hand, some local raw materials were also in used. Among them the so-called Dynów marl or siliceous marls were suggested as the most popular. To correct the classification of raw material of these artefacts HCl (Hydrochloric acid) was used for testing both raw material samples and the artefacts of the so-called Dynów or siliceous marls. The results of the analysis shows that so-called Dynów or siliceous marl consists of several different raw material varieties. More than 50% of the analysed tools were of yellowish or grey-yellowish hornstones (cherts). Both siliceous marls and the chert came probably from different sources and each one has a different chemical composition and physical properties L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73283/PDF/WA308_88965_P356_Examining-Raw-Mate_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 201 KW - Siliceous marl KW - chert KW - Carpathians KW - Neolithic KW - Early Bronze Age A1 - Pelisiak, Andrzej PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 191 T1 - Examining Raw Material of Stone Tools.

Since the second (note) phase of the development of this culture, the early farmers developed a complex system of distribution of ‘chocolate’ flint within the great-valleys zone of the Lowlands. Concretions of raw flint were transported by the Vistula river from the outcrops located on the southeastern slopes of the Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross) Mountains to Kuyavia. They were worked into cores and processed in settlements close to the Vistula valley. Cores and blades/flakes were also exported to distant locations to the west as far as the Lower Oder basin area. One would expect the existence of specialised workshops providing materials for such a mass distribution. Kruszyn site 13, Włocławek distr., is the first LBK ‘chocolate’ flint workshop discovered close to the Vistula river concentrated on production of blades. This site fits well into the LBK flint distribution system developed on the Lowlands L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73277/PDF/WA308_88937_P356_Contribution-to-Unde_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 87 KW - early Neolithic KW - Linear Band Culture (LBK) KW - “chocolate” flint KW - distribution KW - workshop A1 - Kabaciński, Jacek PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 79 T1 - Contribution to Understanding the Distribution of ‘Chocolate’ Flint on the Polish Lowlands in the Early Neolithic: Kruszyn, Site 13 UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73277 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - The study details a pilot experiment in which samples of “chocolate’”flint from four procurement sites in Poland and chert from the United States were characterized spectrally and distinguished using reflectance spectroscopy and multivariate statistics. The characterization of ‘chocolate’ flint and the successful differentiation of sources has been, and continues to be, a major research focus for understanding prehistoric consumption, use, and distribution of this favored lithic resource. Reflectance spectroscopy potentially provides an analytical methodology for identifying artefact source by successfully distinguishing spatially and compositionally unique deposits. Initial results from the study show that “chocolate” flint can be distinguished from other silicite tool stone resources, regional lookalike materials, and by individual deposit. Future studies will test a more robust sample size of ‘chocolate’ flints and conduct experiments on surface weathering L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73278/PDF/WA308_88941_P356_Characterizing-Choco_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 101 KW - reflectance spectroscopy KW - “chocolate” flint KW - source in Poland KW - Visible Near-infrared (VNIR) KW - Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) A1 - Parish, Ryan M.

This contribution follows distribution of the four most attractive Polish chipped raw materials (silicite of the Cracow-Częstochowa Jurassic, ‘chocolate’ silicite, banded Krzemionki [striped] silicite and spotted Świeciechów [grey white-spotted] silicite) in the Czech Republic. Since the middle phase of Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian) the Jurasssic-Cracow silicites had been transported to Moravia and since its late phase (Magdalenian) also to Bohemia. The first use of the ‘chocolate’ silicite has been ascertained at some Late Aurignacian (Epiaurignacian) sites of central Moravia similarly as an exceptional find attesting early use of Świeciechów spotted silicite (Late Szeletian?). No finds of the banded Krzemionki silicite have been registered in Pre-Neolithic flaked assemblages in the Czech Republic. Evidence of systematic and mass transport of silicites from the Cracow-Częstochowa Jurassic to northern/central Moravia and to eastern/central Bohemia has been found in some periods of the Neolithic (especially connected with the Linear Pottery culture). For the period of the earlier Eneolithic (Funnel Beaker culture) we can identify a small but systematic presence of raw materials from the northern foreland of the Świętokrzyskie (Holy Cross) Mountains, this comprises objects of banded Krzemionki silicite and spotted Świeciechów silicite. About 24 Moravian non-stratified finds of axes made of the banded Krzemionki silicite and polished over the whole surface can be probably connected with the Globular Amphora culture. Silicites from the Cracow-Częstochowa Jurassic appeared again in the late Eneolithic, especially as arrowheads of the Bell Beaker culture in Moravia. Only two pieces made from the Jurassic Cracow-Częstochowa silicite appeared in a collection of 1463 artefacts connected with the Early Bronze Age in Moravia L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73274/PDF/WA308_88925_P356_Artefacts-Made-from_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 48 KW - Polish silicites (‘flints’) KW - Czech Republic KW - Palaeolithic KW - Neolithic KW - Eneolithic KW - early Bronze Age A1 - Přichystal, Antonín PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 35 T1 - Artefacts Made from Siliceous Rocks of Polish Origin on Prehistoric Sites in the Czech Republic UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73274 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - The l’Hort de la Boquera site is located in the northeastern part of Iberia and its stone tool assemblage includes up to 25,000 flint artefacts. This is the first approach to the analysis of the raw material through an archaeopetrological study. Results were obtained by use of mineralogi¬cal techniques: macroscopic and petrographic analysis, Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM), Micro-Raman and X-Ray diffraction (XRD); additionally, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry was applied. It has been possible to discriminate at least four flint categories, the ‘Evaporitic flint type’ (with two local subvarieties – ‘Common evaporitic’ and ‘Garnet’ varieties) that comes from local outcrops of the Ulldemolins Complex, and two flint types that had their origin further afield: the ‘Charophyta flint type’ (coming from the Torrente de Cinca Unit) and the ‘Dark flint type’ (from the La Serra Llarga Formation).These results make this study the most comprehensive analysis of raw materials that has been carried out in the area so far L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73273/PDF/WA308_88924_P356_Preliminary-Archaeo_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 33 KW - archeopetrology KW - flint KW - raw materials KW - northeastern Iberia KW - Hort de la Boquera A1 - Rey-Solé, Mar A1 - García-Argüelles, Maria Pilar A1 - Nadal, Jordi A1 - Mangado, Xavier A1 - Scherstén, Anders A1 - Næraa, Tomas PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 23 T1 - Preliminary Archaeopetrological Study of the Lithic Industry From the l’Hort de la Boquera Rock Shelter (Margalef de Montsant, Tarragona, Spain): Applying Mineralogical and Geochemical Techniques UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73273 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - This paper argues that, despite the purely physical nature of the process of the creation of blades that later will be components of multi-material tools, this is also like an artistic act. If this is so, the manner in which we discuss the sequence of blade production can be analysed in much the same way as any other narrative works of art, like Greek literature or Shakespearean drama. The article presents three stories about cores that were used for production of blades for tools during the Stone Age, examining the systematic sequence of actions (like the choice of the raw material, core preparation, blade production, repairs of core and discarding of the exhausted core) in the form of a 5-act dramatic structure. We suggest that these five parts or acts of drama are similar to the manner in which, in Stone Age archaeology, we talk about the knapping sequence and goals of blade production. Observation of three blade cores connected with the late Mesolithic and the Early and Middle Neolithic from the central part of Poland provides an opportunity for discussion about the features of those pieces and searching for similarities and differences in the use of “chocolate” flint during the latter part of the Stone Age L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73276/PDF/WA308_88934_P356_Three-Stories-About_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 78 KW - late Mesolithic KW - Linear Band pottery culture KW - Funnel Beaker culture KW - “chocolate” flint KW - blade core A1 - Płaza, Dominik Kacper A1 - Papiernik, Piotr PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 65 T1 - Three Stories About the Exploitation of “Chocolate” Flint During the Stone Age in Central Poland UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73276 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - The article focuses on the chronological status of the distribution of ‘chocolate’ silicite originating from the area of south-east Poland in the prehistory of the Czech lands. The flow of ‘chocolate’ silicite across the Carpathian Mountains culminated in the period of the Stroke-Ornamented Ware culture (5100/5000–4500/4400 cal BC) in the area studied. Based on the analysis of the contexts of finds and the classification of the artefacts, the raw material is interpreted as an indicator of the presence of individuals or groups with an exclusive social status. Both the pattern of distribution and the status are common to other ‘exotic’ raw materials, especially for Carpathian obsidian, in the studied area in that same period. By comparing the spatial and chronological image expansion of both materials can lead to similar conclusions in their assessment L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73275/PDF/WA308_88928_P356_The-Status-and-the_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 64 KW - “chocolate” silicite KW - distribution KW - chipped industry KW - social status KW - Stroked Pottery culture (SBK) KW - obsidian KW - Eastern Bohemia A1 - Burgert, Pavel PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 49 T1 - The Status and the Role of ‘Chocolate’ Silicite in the Bohemian Neolithic UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73275 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - The aim of the article is to present the results of a multifaceted analysis of a collection of non-flint stone artefacts obtained during excavations of the complex of Late Palaeolithic camps at site 17 in Nowogród, Golub-Dobrzyń district. It included an obsidian artefact and objects made of crystalline rocks (quartzite, quartzite sandstone, quartz, coarse sandstone and diorite), which were created as a result of knapping the raw material using techniques similar or identical to those used during the processing of flint. The results of petrographic analysis confirmed that these raw materials had come from natural resources located near the site. Most of the analysed artefacts are represented by large flakes. In addition, one chip and two tools, a multiple burin and a pebble tool, were distinguished. Use-wear analysis showed signs of use on two artefacts, including the pebble tool. The obsidian artefact is currently the northernmost Late Palaeolithic find of this type. In order to determine the geological source of the raw material, the artefact was subjected to PGAA and XRF analysis. PGAA analysis confirmed that the obsidian originated from a source in northern Slovakia (Carpathian 1 type), probably from the Cejkov or Kašov deposits, Trebišov district.

The raw material distribution of the nearly 6100 pieces that make up the stone tool assemblage is the focus of this paper, with a particular emphasis placed on the dominance of the local raw material. The research addresses the question of the method of procurement of the lithic raw material in the case of this enormous, extended Neolithic site. To supply an answer, basic geoarchaeological research was necessary. To that end, a field survey aimed at detecting those geological formations and lithic variations convenient for knapping was undertaken. The results of the survey reported in the second part of this paper help in our understanding of the selection strategy of the ancient knapping specialists. From these strategies, it is possible to recognize the cultural tradition and raw material manipulation of this Late Neolithic community and, in a wider sense, the southeastern group of the Lengyel culture L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73280/PDF/WA308_88953_P356_%20Lithic-Raw-Material_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 140 KW - Carpathian Basin KW - Transdanubia KW - Late Neolithic KW - Lengyel culture KW - Mecsek radiolarite KW - local raw material characteristics and distribution KW - field survey A1 - Szilágyi, Kata PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 127 T1 - Lithic Raw Material Procurement in the Late Neolithic Southern-Transdanubian Region: A Case Study From the Site of Alsónyék-Bátaszék UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73280 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill., 24 cm N2 - The aim of the article is to present and characterize the collection of flint axes made of Cretaceous flint from the interfluve of the Bug River and Neman that morphologically resemble the forms from the Neolithic cultures of the Polish Lowland (the Funnel Beaker Culture, Globular Amphorae Culture and Corded Ware Cultures). This group of objects consists of 10 items found in the Podlasie region. The presented axes are a small part of a large collection (50 flint axes) exhibited in the Museum of Podlasie in Bialystok. A new term for local Cretaceous flint has been introduced for the purpose of this study. Until now, this type of flint was known as Northeastern Flint, and although research to define this term has been done, it has never been fully finalized. Because of that, the author of this study has coined a new and more suitable term: Cretaceous flint from the interfluve of the Bug River and Neman. This includes a group of Cretaceous flints from the Podlasie area and contains all the local variations of it: Mielnik flint, Rybniki flint, flint from the Cretaceous beds and marls and Krasne Siolo flint L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/73281/PDF/WA308_88958_P356_Neolithic-Flint-Axes_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 56 (2018) PY - 2018 EP - 165 KW - flint axe KW - Podlasie region KW - northeastern flint KW - Cretaceous flint KW - stray finds KW - Neolithic KW - Funnel Beaker Culture KW - Globular Amphorae culture KW - Corded Ware culture A1 - Lepionka, Hubert PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 56 CY - Warszawa SP - 141 T1 - Neolithic Flint Axes Made from Cretaceous flint of the Bug and Neman Interfluve in the Collection of the Museum of Podlasie in Bialystok UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/73281 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - The paper considers the symbolic aspects of the figure of Hercules depicted on a terra sigillata bowl discovered in Górzyca, Słubice County, in the context of the Roman mythical hero cult. Hercules, a superhuman hero equal to the gods, played a very special role in Roman religion and Imperial ideology. The vessel is an example of exquisite tableware produced in specialized provincial workshops. The relief decoration of such dishes allows us not only to identify particular potters and workshops, but also to propose the dating in terms of absolute chronology. Terra sigillata vessels constitute one of the most important categories of Roman imports in the Barbaricum, a community of Wielbark culture being one of the recipients L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/66298/PDF/WA308_85999_P357_The-symbolism-of_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 55 (2017) PY - 2017 EP - 224 KW - Hercules KW - Lezoux KW - terra sigillata KW - imperial propaganda KW - Górzyca KW - Wielbark culture KW - Barbaricum A1 - Tyszler, Lubomira A1 - Jankowiak, Anna PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 55 CY - Warszawa SP - 211 T1 - The symbolism of Hercules in the religious and political propaganda of the Roman Empire as attested by a terra sigillata bowl from Górzyca in Słubice County UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/66298 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - This paper presents the results of physico-chemical analyses of approximately 170 products, beads and vessels from the Roman period coming from the territory of Poland. These are the soda high potassium artifacts, which may be considered as ash glasses. Glasses with higher potassium content (HKG) were melted using the ash from halophyte plants in the workshops of the Roman East and probably other places in the Mediterranean. These were mainly coloured glasses used to produce ornaments, mosaic vessels, decorative plaques and tesserae. In the Roman period, especially in its later stages, and in the Franconian period, ash glasses began to be produced also in the western provinces of the Empire, and these were mainly the low magnesium specimens (LMG). However, questions about the frequency of ash glasses in the Roman period and the location of production centres as well as the kinds of alkaline raw materials require further research L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/66299/PDF/WA308_86000_P357_The-question-of-ash_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 55 (2017) PY - 2017 EP - 241 KW - Roman ash glasses KW - beads and vessels from Poland KW - technique of forming KW - ash glasses Roman Empire A1 - Stawiarska, Teresa PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 55 CY - Warszawa SP - 225 T1 - The question of ash glasses in the Roman period focusing on finds from Poland UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/66299 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - The paper discusses the main changes in the glass and glass artefacts in Bohemia in the Early and at the beginning of the High Middle Ages (AD 850 1300) from an archaeological and archaeometric point of view. The results of chemical analyses (SEM-EDS) presented in the VITREA database identify the different chemical types of glass used for personal glass ornaments (beads and rings), glass windowpanes, vessels and other products. A major complex change, both in the type of artefacts and sites, and in the chemical composition of glass, occurred in Bohemia shortly after 1000. Changes in the following period took place gradually, culminating in the second half of the 13th century when glass-making started in local glasshouses L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/66297/PDF/WA308_85998_P357_On-the-road-from-the_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 55 (2017) PY - 2017 EP - 210 KW - Bohemia KW - Middle Ages KW - archaeometry KW - chemical type of glass KW - glass-working KW - glass ornaments KW - vessel KW - window panes A1 - Černá, Eva A1 - Tomková, Kateřina PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 55 CY - Warszawa SP - 189 T1 - On the road from the Early to High Middle Ages: Glass of the 9th–13th centuries in Bohemia UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/66297 ER -
