TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 29 cm N1 - 29 cm N2 - The Department for Studies on the Origins of the Polish State was established in 1949 in order to conduct extensive interdisciplinary research on the origins and functioning of the State of the First Piasts. The research project started a year earlier due to the necessity to celebrate a thousand years of the Polish State and the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland. The process of “preparing the great anniversary”, which was interpreted by the Catholic Church and the State in a different way and whose scientific aims were strongly influenced by politics, was undoubtedly the biggest initiative in the history of the Polish humanities research after World War II . These millennial studies have improved the state of our knowledge on the origins of the Polish statehood and the importance of Poland on the map of early medieval Europe. They also played an important social and political role in developing national consciousness of the Polish society after changing the borders in 1945.

Questions regarding who we are, where the course of our history begins, have been important already during the Middle Ages. For several centuries, so-called ethnogenetic legends satisfied this curiosity. It was not until 18th century’s ‘intellectual upheaval’ and subsequent partitions of Poland that a significant change in the mentality of Polish people occurred and a new theory of the origins of our nation was formed – the Slavic, what resulted in the development of archaeology, ethnography, history of Middle Ages and Slavic researches in general. After World War II, due to the need for commemorating the 1000-year existence of Poland, the years following 1945 witnessed a return to the search for the roots of Polish national identity. This time, the beginnings of our nation’s history were marked by the year 966, the date of Mieszko I’s baptism, the first historical Polish ruler L1 - http://www.rcin.org.pl/iae/Content/130400/PDF/WA308_103366_From-the-History_I.pdf M3 - Text J2 - Between History and Archaeology : papers in honour of Jacek Lech PY - 2018 EP - 361 KW - history of Polish archaeology KW - the search for Polish national roots KW - the Slavic past KW - the thousand years of the Polish state A1 - Szczerba, Adrianna PB - Archaeopress Archaeology CY - Oxford; England T1 - From the History of Polish Archaeology.

Rajewski was one of a group of the most outstanding twentieth century Polish archaeologists. He was a student of Professor J. Kostrzewski and his assistant in organising the 1934–1939 archaeological excavation of the Early Iron Age fortified lake village of the Lusatian Culture in Biskupin. After the Second World War, Z.A. Rajewski continued to excavate at Biskupin and, starting from 1949, was also actively involved in running the national Millennium programme of research on the origins of the Polish statehood. For a quarter of a century (1949–1974), Rajewski was Director of the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw. Next to the archaeology of Biskupin and its micro-region, his other research interests included prehistoric and early medieval symbolic culture, battlefield archaeology, innovative methods of research and museum sciences.

Local newspapers from Silesia and Lubusz Land as well as the central daily paper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party were analyzed for the period before 1970 to find out if archaeology and history were used in an anti-German propaganda and in justification of the Polish rights to the Western Territories regained after the World War II M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 43 (2005) PY - 2005 EP - 124 KW - Recovered Territories KW - Silesia KW - Lubusz Land KW - Polish-German relations KW - propaganda KW - archaeology KW - daily press A1 - Kobyliński, Zbigniew A1 - Rutkowska, Grażyna (1956–2019) A2 - Zych, Iwona.

I focus on the post-war period (until 1956), but in order to present the events of that time in the proper context it is necessary to briefly go back in time to the Second Republic of Poland and the years 1939-1945. The origins of interest in a systematic analysis of the Cherven’ Towns region can be tracked back to Lwów/L’viv in the 1930s. World War II thwarted the plans and goals made at that time. After 1945, studies on the gords in Czermno and Gródek were restarted and from 1952 excavations on this territory were carried out – officially – as part of Polish-Soviet cooperation. The excavations were abandoned in rather unclear circumstances. The article shows how the dramatic changes in Europe in the mid-20th century influenced the attitudes of scholars, including archaeologists, at that time.
