Z najnowszych badań archeologicznych nad założeniami obronnymi dawnego województwa skierniewickiego Kosiorek, Andrzej The article is devoted to the research on Mediaeval and contemporary defensive objects located on the rivers Rawka and Lupia. Strongholds and mounds (remains of manor houses) from the Skierniewice region have their origin between the second half of the 12th century and the first half of the 17th century. The article presents the results of examinations conducted at the sites in Rzeczkowo (Skierniewice commune); Kurzeszyn Stary (Rawa Mazowiecka commune); Stara Rawa (Nowy Kawęrzyn commune); Dębowa Góra and Żelazna (Skierniewice commune). Excavations were carried out on initiative of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments in Skierniewice, Zbigniew Lechowicz (with an exception of the stronghold in Stara Rawa which was examined by Jerzy Gula). Archaeological sources gained during excavation works enabled reconstruction of the process of shaping ancestral settlement in Mazovia (Mazowsze) in the 12th—14th centuries and intensification of farming activity of knights and noblemen in the 15th century. According to the authors, field works and examination of described objects should be continued for more detailed publication

Wyniki badań na stanowisku kultury pucharów lejkowatych Początkowo 36, gmina Aleksandrów Kujawski Rzepecki, Seweryn The site Poczałkowo 36 is situated in a valley of the Tążyna river which runs across the north eastern part of Kujawy. The presented material comes from two excavation operations. The first (detailed surface excavations) took place in the year 1980. The second (rescue excavations) were conducted in 1997. The site turned out to be damaged to a large degree. The disproportion between the quantity of material achieved during the surface examinations (— ........ ceramic items and 36 Hint items) and a number of finds uncovered as the result of deep excavations (85 items of ceramic and 2 flint items) is an evident prove o f the above statement. In the light of these studies the collection from the site Poczałkowo 36 should be dated to the II phase of the funnel cups culture in Kujawy. In the author’s opinion there is much evidence indicating that the site Poczałkowo 36 should be treated as a remnant of a relatively short-term settlement. This opinion may cast new light on the structure of raw material of flint relics. Domination o f finds made o f the Baltic flint might suggest a relatively late dating of uncovered collections and could be connected with a relatively short period of functioning of a given site (assuming that flint and ceramic relics vary in case of short-term settlements (camps), where the raw material was gained casually ) from the relics found in long term (stable) settlements.

Brok nad Bugiem - pałac biskupów płockich. Badania wykopaliskowe 1983-1984 roku Gula, Jerzy The paper describes the results of architectural and archaeological researches in the palace of Płock bishops in Brok. In the preface the author presents the history of the object till the year 1909 when the inventory plan was accomplished. In the years 1983-1984, on initiative of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments in Ostrołęka, the ruins of the palace were subjected to archaeological examinations. The main objective of the works was to verify the hypothesis about early Mediaeval or Mediaeval provenance of the object. It was also planned to define the character and possibly the shape of the first, known from the sources, original construction from the beginning of the 17th century. Besides it was intended to define the range of damages caused by the Swedes in the times of Swedish wars and to check how far the remaining ruins were later adapted for the needs of the 18th century building. Finally, in connection with the project to use this object in the form of a stable ruin it seemed justified to make an attempt to reveal its plan until the state from the year 1909.

Elementy uzbrojenia i wyposażenia jeździeckiego z nowożytnego dworu w Janiszewie na Kujawach Brzeskich Poturalska, Ewa In the years 1993-1997 archaeological field works were conducted at site 2 in Janiszewo. The works resulted in uncovering of a rural manor house which presumably functioned since the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 19th century. Some of the articles found within the confines of the house can be numbered among armament and horseman equipment. We can ennumerate here: an axe, knives, a ball, a crossbow stirrup, a pistol, a spur and a horseshoe. The axe was identified as type IX (according to the typology by M. Glosek) and thereby it can be assumed that this tool was used only on special occasions. Since the axe bears features characteristic both for the period between the first half of the 13th century and the present times and since it was found within the limits of the house yard, its dating is very much limited. Similar problem with accurate dating arises in case o f recovered in the same place seventeen knives. Their pommels were from 5 to 15 cm long. Among the knives a fragment of a kitchen chopper was distinguished. An iron ball,17 mm in diameter, was presumably either a musket bullet or a bullet shot from a crossbow. The 16th or 17th century stirrup from a hunting or sports crossbow was helpful not only while tightening the bowstring, but also while hanging the crossbow on the wall. A pistol, with an octahedral 10 mm calibre barrel and a wheel lock, probably belongs to an early form of a pistol, still with a characteristic smooth barrel. Its origin may be dated to the end o f the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century. However, the 17th century spur with a star-shaped spike does not fit any o f the known spur typologies. A stirrup from the specimen from Janiszewo had been evidently damaged and repaired to be used again. Some of the features of the recovered horseshoe allow to identify it as the type IV, of the II nd group, with the fasteners o f type D, according to the typology by J. Kaźmierczyk. The above described finds were presumably used as either military, hunting or sports equipment. Only the destination of the pistol is unquestionable. The present work should be treated as my contribution to the researches on so far vaguely accentuated issue of archaeologically registered home arsenals from the rural manor foundations.
