Material presented here derives from two sites, Lefkandi and Tsoungiza, and provides evidencefor at least three types of abrasion on vessels’ surfaces. These surface marks are illustrated throughoutwith numerous photographs. The most visible type of use-wear, which is attested on a variety of forms, consistsof heavy abrasion of exterior rim and protruding part of lower body.

In high and medium latitudes they are reflected by extensive rhythms of the warmer/“calido” and colder/“frigido” phases. In low latitudes, predominantly in tropical zone, the changes of the climate are expressed mostly by pluvial and interpluvial rhythms. The paper concerns climatic variability during the last 20,000 thousand years based on two case studies: central Europe and North-East Africa. Archaeological context is also taken into consideration. The initiation and the development of the civilization in the late Quaternary in these areas was characterized by diverse dynamics. Intensive migration of people took place in North Africa over the last 15,000 years, during periods of high humidity. In the central European Lowlands, however, periglacial conditions prevailed, and in northern Europe an ice sheet still existed, making human activity very difficult or even impossible. The “Neolithic revolution” also took place earlier in Africa, with settled life and the first domestication of animals taking place there before 10,000 years BP. In the central European Lowlands this happened about 4–5 thousand years later. Finale it can be stated, that favourable climate and environment conditions, gave both these areas an impetus for the development of the past civilization M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 185 KW - variability of climate KW - culture fluctuations KW - Central Europe KW - North-East Africa A1 - Stankowski, Wojciech PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 177 T1 - Climatic fluctuation and the archaeological record during the last 15,000 years – selected data from Central Europe and North Africa UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61758 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - This work presents the results of geological and geomorphological research at excavations located in dried-up river beds at sites from Upper Egypt to the Nile Delta.

They allow, amongst other things, for the reconstruction of climatic and environmental change. Isotopic data for reconstruction can be obtained from various archives, such as ice cores, lake sediments, corals, and organic matter. Mass spectrometric methods allow for the precise meas¬urement of stable isotope ratios, as well as the concentration of radiocarbon (the AMS method). One of the isotopic archives frequently used in recent years is tree rings. Isotopic fractionation of organic matter occurring in the tree depends on climatic and environmental conditions. Therefore δ13C, δ18O, δ2H and δ15N in the wood can be used as a sensitive indicator of climatic and environmental change. This paper presents an example of the use of isotopic measurements in tree rings for climate research. The results of δ13C measurements for pine from the Augustów Wilderness region were used for temperature reconstruction M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 213 KW - stable isotopes KW - tree rings KW - climate reconstruction A1 - Sławomira, Pawełczyk PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 203 T1 - Isotopic measurements in the rings for the investigation of climate change UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61755 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - This paper describes the results of the mineralogical-petrographic examination of ceramic fabric in the context of raw material accessibility. The study involved analysis of 49 samples of Neolithic pottery from the Modlnica 5 site where three archaeological societies succeeded one another over a period of two thousand years: the Malice culture, the Funnel Beaker culture and the Corded Ware culture. The local environment underwent both anthropogenically and natu¬rally induced change and we indirectly infer these transformations through the identification of the different raw materials used in pottery production. We have established that Miocene clay was accessible in the early Neolithic, on the evidence of microfauna in the clay. However, only alluvial deposits were recognized in the Corded Ware ceramics. These data show that Miocene sediments were not available around 2400 BC M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 201 KW - Neolithic KW - pottery petrography KW - environment A1 - Rauba-Bukowska, Anna A1 - Zastawny, Albert PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 187 T1 - Environmental changes – conclusions on the basis of research on Neolithic pottery from site Modlnica 5, Kraków district UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61754 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - Naturally-occuring re-depositional processes are known from caves and other multi-layered sites. They are mainly bio- and cryoturbations that can involve huge masses of sediment. However, the processes are only recognizable at sites with laminated and lithologically diversified sediments. Where lithological differences are weak, the boundaries are blurred or rock rubble and numer¬ous stones occur – the sedimentological features are obscured and post-depositional features are unrecognizable. Such situations are especially frequent in caves. The impact of re-deposition on the mixing of archaeological assemblages may be underestimated. A helpful approach for the recogni¬tion of re-deposition is geochemical fossil provenance analysis. The method is based on the fact that the chemical composition of fossils (e.g. mammalian bones) is determined by nature of the surrounding sediment, shortly after the fossil’s original deposition. This phenomenon may be used to determine the original context of bones whose primary location is uncertain (e.g. poorly documented finds from old research). It also allows the determination of possible natural or artificial re-deposition. The results presented in this paper provide evidence for the extensive re-deposition of animal bone in Biśnik Cave. Such observations may well be relevant to the other Polish caves M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 161 KW - Fossil provenance analysis KW - ICP KW - cave sediment KW - site formation KW - palaeoecology A1 - Krajcarz, Maciej T.

Evidence from the research area confirms that in the period between 380 BC and 320 AD and particularly between 450 AD and 620 AD a wet and generally cold climate prevailed. It was accompanied by a clustering of catastrophic events (e.g. floods in the upper Vistula basin, landslides and debris flow in the Carpathians). Traces of similar events have also been recognized in various parts of Central and Northern Europe. Apart from discussing methodological and interpretative issues related to records of climatic changes in various environments, the authors attempt to answer the question: what was the impact of these changes and of accompanying events on human activities in the period between the c. 3rd BC and the c. 7th AD? Holocene climatic changes in Central Europe have never crossed the threshold of natural geosystems. For this reason prehistoric communities living there were not affected significantly by changes in temperature and humidity M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 151 KW - Vistula valley KW - La Tène and Roman periods KW - Early Slavic period KW - climatic changes A1 - Dobrzańska, Halina A1 - Kalicki, Tomasz PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 135 T1 - Climate and man in the Kraków region (3rd century BC – 7th century AD) UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61752 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - This paper presents the results of geoarchaeological investigations at Site 28 in Rozbórz. The study area is about 5 km east of Przeworsk, at the foot of the Kańczuga Upland (Rzeszów Foreland). The loess slopes of the uplands descend to the floor of the Forecarpathian Trough with the site being at a height of 185–183 m a.s.l. During the fieldwork four profiles in laminated delluvial sediments and buried humic soil horizons were studied in the north and east part of the site. The archaeological features, identified as storage pits with artefacts dated to the Neolithic Funnel Beaker culture, were buried by delluvial deposits and humic soil horizons. In the southwest part of the excavation the pits occur in sandy alluvial deposits on the Vistulian terrace. An extensive and flat depression filled with organic material and drained by a ditch system occurs in the western part of the area. Micromorphological studies and archaeological dating show that an increase in intensity of pedogenesis took place during the brake in human settlement. A Fluvisol developed in the alluvial deposits and then the rising of ground water table in the valley bottom caused hydromorphic soils to form. Finally after stabilization of environmental conditions Cambisol are developed. The beginning of swamping in this area started in the Subboreal wetter phase at about 2900–2500 cal. BC. The swampy soil was covered by delluvial sediments in the Early Medieval period c. 750–1050 cal.

In 2007, excavations were resumed there and a new, previously unknown concentration of artifacts was discovered. New data from several thousands of flint artifacts and the first discovery of faunal remains indicate a long-term and multi-season hunting camp. The site is the most north-easterly settlement of the Magdalenian technocomplex in the whole of Europe. The favorable geographical position of the site in the Late Glacial is very apparent at the macro-regional scale. The site is located at the boundary between contrasting mega-regions (highlands/lowlands) of differing environmental conditions, and where there are micro-regional contrasts as well (specific local conditions). Analysis of the site location took account of its background geology, land relief and hydrology. The dynamic of these elements and their influence on microclimatic conditions and plant cover is considered. The area of the site, located on a slope, is currently in agricultural use. This has caused surface erosion – with the original Late Glacial depressions becoming filled by soil material redeposited from the neighboring denuded convex landforms. The original and very varied topographic surface has been reconstructed on the basis of the degree of conservation of the soil profiles. Part of soil profiles was truncated or almost completely eroded, but the other profiles were buried M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 119 KW - Late Glacial KW - Magdalenian settlement KW - palaeoenvironmental reconstructions KW - Landform analysis KW - Lublin Upland A1 - Rodzik, Jan A1 - Mroczek, Przemysław A1 - Wiśniewski, Tadeusz A1 - Zagórski, Piotr PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 105 T1 - The palaeogeographical conditions of location of a Magdalenian camp at Klementowice (Nałęczów Plateau, E Poland) UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61750 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - Multidisciplinary study of a peat profile from the coast near the drowned remains of a medieval harbour at Puck have allowed the reconstruction of the environmental conditions at the time when the port was in operation. The research included AMS 14C dating, and analysis of 13C and 18O isotopes, pollen, plant macrofossils, diatoms, total organic carbon, phosphorous, and heavy metals. In the period around 800–900 AD, when the port was created, sea level was about 0.75–0.70 m lower than today and hydrodynamic conditions were relatively calm. Stable or slowly increasing level of water in the Puck Lagoon continued until about 1100–1200 AD. A decrease in port activity , during about 1300–1350 AD, occurred at a time of marked climatic cooling at the beginning of the Little Ice Age, together with frequent and heavy storms. During the interval 1100 to 1400 AD, the lagoon water level rose by about 0.4 m. However, climate and hydrological changes were not then sufficiently catastrophic to destroy the port. The decline in port activity is connected to a clear breakdown in human economic activity in the area, as reflected in the results of pollen analysis and a drop in Cu and Pb content. The sediments of this period are also characterized by a large amount of wood charcoal, suggesting the possibility of conflagration M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 104 KW - drowned medieval harbor KW - sea level change KW - climate variability KW - coastal peatland KW - radiocarbon datings KW - stable isotops KW - pollen KW - diatoms KW - southern Baltic KW - Puck Lagoon A1 - Uścinowicz, Szymon A1 - Miotk-Szpiganowicz, Grażyna A1 - Gałka, Mariusz A1 - Pawlyta, Jacek A1 - Piotrowska, Natalia A1 - Pomian, Iwona A1 - Witak, Małgorzata PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 87 T1 - The rise, development and destruction of the medieval port of Puck in the light of research into palaeoclimate and sea level change UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61749 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - This paper presents the results of multidisciplinary research on Neo-Holocene alluvial and colluvial sediment covers undertaken in the Ner River basin in central Poland. This research environmental archaeology has been undertaken as part of archaeological investigations at the sites of Szynkielew, Lutomiersk-Koziówki and Wierzbowa. Overbank sands and silts cut by episodic channels filled with alluvium have been recognized in the Dobrzynka River valley at the Szynkielew site. These sediments most probably accumulated in the 12th century AD after the area became a property of the chapter of the Kraków bishop. An episodic channel at Lutomiersk-Koziówki site was formed by high flood flow most probably resulting from the draining of a pond between 16th and 19th century AD. At the archaeological settlement complex at Wierzbowa, fossil cultural layers have been uncovered which were deposited within sandy slope wash sediments accumulated on the surface of a valley slope. The initiation of the accumulation of the whole slope cover has been attributed to the period after c. 1900–1750 BC correlating with activity of people of the Trzciniec Culture. Only comprehensive multidisciplinary research can provide the data to correlate the accumulation of such inorganic sediment covers with past human activity. The character of discussed series indicates that the sediments arise from very intensive processes initiated indirectly by human activity as evidenced by their geological context, archaeobotanical content, and absolute chronology M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 86 KW - geoarchaeology KW - anthropopressure KW - alluvium KW - slope cover KW - Neo-Holocene KW - Ner River basin A1 - Kittel, Piotr PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 71 T1 - Slope and river inorganic deposits as indicators of marked human impact, in the light of research in the Ner River basin (central Poland) UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/61748 ER - TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - The aim of this study was to locate and date extreme flood events and climate change using diverse evidence from the Middle Obra region.

During spring snowmelt or prolonged rainfall, these landforms are filled with water that may remain for many weeks. In the primary Eo- and Mezoholocene forest landscape of the Nałęczów Plateau, these closed depressions were waterless but during the Neolithic, their function in the landscape changed andthey periodically retained water. This phenomenon was triggered by the changes in hydrology induced by Neolithic farming practices and deforestation. These periodically water-filled closed depressions became a permanent element of the Neolithic cultural landscape of the Nałęczów Plateau, with some of them determining settlement in the Neolithic and subsequent periods. This is demonstrated by spatial analysis of patterns in the distribution of archaeological sites and closed depressions on the Nałęczów Plateau and by comprehensive investigations at two sites in their vicinity.

It was located at the bottom of the valley of the Podłężanka river, a Fore-Carpathian tributary of the Vistula river, with a multiphase prehistoric settlement nearby. Radiocarbon dating of the peat bog deposits was accompanied by analysis of the archaeological remains and pollen analysis. A well, dated dendrochronologically to after 613 BC, allowed the dating of the peat bog to be more precise. Palaeoclimatic data from around Europe indicates that after the episode of sharp cooling and wetting of climate at the beginning of the Subatlantic period (c. 850–650 BC), the climate became warmer and drier (c. 650–450 BC). The well dug into the peat bog may indicate a temporary lowering of the groundwater level due to improved climate conditions. Therefore, the case may contribute – just like the discoveries from the shores of the Kunickie and Koskowickie Lakes in Silesia and from the Elbe valley in Dresden – to the hypothesis of a warmer climatic event during the early Subatlantic period L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/61745/PDF/WA308_76997_P356_Dry-swamp-Researchin_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 49 (2011-2013) PY - 2013 EP - 36 KW - climate KW - early Subatlantic period KW - Podłęże KW - wetland settlement KW - South Poland A1 - Dzięgielewski, Karol A1 - Nalepka, Dorota A1 - Walanus, Adam PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 49 CY - Warszawa SP - 31 T1 - Dry swamp?

Contemporary "usefulness" of the notion of memory is not associated with the idea of the continuity of the historical narra¬tive, this rather applies, in my opinion, to the construction of memory in spatial contexts. In the social sciences, the concept of "memory scape" has been established. Therefore, "archaeology of memoryscape" can be proposed, that is archaeology of a real or symbolic place where "the collective memory is spatialized" (Muzaini, Yeoh 2005:33). If we broaden it by the P. Bourdieu's concept (the field of game theory), the discourse of memory will be, in my opinion, such a field of game. So, it can be treated then as an area shared by a community. And in this meaning, the term "memory" seems to me to be useful for archaeology.The approach to memory, which is characteristic of the present, refers mainly to the "cultures of memory" or "com¬munities of memory", that is to the collective/social memory. This approach is aimed at understanding how the identity of a particular community or a group is constructed by memory. It seems that archaeology can explore that what is called the collective memory (regardless of whether prehistoric or medieval people used such a concept), and less frequently indi¬vidual memory. In this sense, those "sites of memory" are useful, which are visible in space, such as fortified settlements, burial sites etc. L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/50488/PDF/WA308_68745_PIII353_Pamiec-miejsca-pamie_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Memory and "sites of memory " as identity-building notions in terms of archaeology J2 - Przegląd Archeologiczny T. 61 (2013) PY - 2013 EP - 50 KW - memory KW - sites of memory KW - identity KW - archaeology KW - the field of game A1 - Minta-Tworzowska, Danuta PB - Instytut Archeologii i Etnologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk PB - Ośrodek Badań nad Kulturą Późnego Antyku i Wczesnego Średniowiecza VL - 61 CY - Wrocław SP - 33 T1 - Pamięć, „miejsca pamięci" jako budujące tożsamość w ujęciu archeologii UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/50488 ER - TY - GEN N1 - 29 cm N2 - In this paper I consider the consequences of the use of different concepts of time in archaeology. I make an attempt to deconstruct our understanding of time in modern culture and find the ways in which it influences archaeological narratives. The common idea of time regarded as a universal and physical factor derives from the interpretation of Newtonian physics. It is also closely related to terms such as empiricism, inevitability and causation. In that interpretation linear time becomes a measure, and influences all occurring phenomena in an equal way. That understanding of time is frequently used by archaeologists for chronological ordering of artefacts. In fact it separates time from space. I argue that physical/universal time and time understood as the experience of a human being are completely different qualities. The first restrains the interest of archaeologists to evolutional variations of the physical forms of artefacts while the second approach allows us to interpret them through the prism of their cultural contents. Cultural time becomes meaning subjected to cultural rules instead of an objective measure that in the end lacks a time phenomenon L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/50487/PDF/WA308_68743_PIII353_Uplywajacy-czas-arch_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Archaeology: Out of time J2 - Przegląd Archeologiczny T. 61 (2013) PY - 2013 EP - 31 KW - timeline KW - cultural spacetime KW - hermeneutics KW - phenomenology KW - metaphor KW - causation KW - deconstruction KW - archaeological phase KW - archaeological culture KW - meta-archaeology A1 - Kiarszys, Grzegorz PB - Instytut Archeologii i Etnologii Polskiej Akademii Nauk PB - Ośrodek Badań nad Kulturą Późnego Antyku i Wczesnego Średniowiecza VL - 61 CY - Wrocław SP - 15 T1 - Upływający czas archeologii UR - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/dlibra/publication/edition/50487 ER - TY - GEN N1 - 29 cm N2 - Jean-Claude Gardin has an important place in the history of archaeology as the creator of the concept of logicism. This was the effect of his reflections on the epistemological and social implications of archaeology. Gardin showed that through the investigation of the nature of the interpretations employed by archaeologists and the manner in which they are confronted with the use of empirical observations supplied by the use of the social sciences, it will be possible to overcome the epistemelogical constrictions on archaeological reasoning and create conditions for the publication of results of inves¬tigations through the medium of the Wordwide Web. A prototype of this manner of thinking was the project ARKEOTEK which is still in development L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/50486/PDF/WA308_68741_PIII353_Jean-Claude-Gardin_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Jean-Claude Gardin (1925-2013).
