AIM AND OBJECTS OF THE THESIS Although the anthroponymy of Warmia is not longer a terra incognita , it still offers many cognitional possibilities. The aim of this thesis is to present and conduct a linguistic analysis of the surnames of the inhabitants of the Lidzbark district (Pol- ish ‘komornictwo’, a jurisdiction of a ‘komornik’ or chamberlain) in the period be- tween 1500 and 1772. The term surname is used in this thesis in the awareness of its conventionality as regards the material from the period under examination. It results, first of all, from the fact that these types of anthroponyms were not sub- ject to strict legal protection in those times, and their linguistic forms quite often did not have any stabilized form. Although rules for using surnames were not regu- lated by any legal acts between the 16 th and the 18 th centuries, they still functioned as official personal names. They were placed in official documents, where they ful- filled the function of a proper name and revealed features which allowed them to survive as a permanent description of a family. They played a similar role as that fulfilled today, even though they were not yet subject to formal legal requirements. This thesis will not present definitions of a surname, which have been repeat- edly formulated in the history of linguistics, since the aim of the study is not to re- view the onomastic terminology, but to present a certain system of local an- throponymy. In the excerpted material, surnames were defined as official personal names occurring next to a given name, created for the purpose of a more precise identification of a person, which was potentially deprived of emotional marking 1 and subjected to the process of inheriting. Anthroponyms obtained from historical sources were subject to etymological and morphological interpretation. Each name occurring after a given name and revealing features which permitted recognition as a surname was subject to philol- ogical analysis, both in the synchronic and diachronic aspects. Linguistic methods were applied to identify and to describe anthroponymical structures occurring in the function of a surname in Lidzbark and its vicinity. They helped to identify models of denomination functioning in this area and to determine the functions, features and etymology of individual names. Historical and geographical methods played an auxiliary role in constructing a linguistic commentary. 1.2. CHRONOLOGICAL AND TERRITORIAL SCOPE The subject of the research concerns the surnames of inhabitants of the Lidzbark district from the beginning of the 16 th century. 1500 marks the beginning of the Middle Polish era, when spelling and grammatical forms became fixed. When es- tablishing the chronological scope of the study, it was also important to note that the 16 th century was the time when relatively constant and heritable anthroponyms emerged, which can be regarded as (proto)surnames. The other time period is 1772, when after the first partition of Poland, Lidzbark was placed in the Prussian parti- tion 2. The new authorities abolished the statutory autonomies of Warmia and changed its internal territorial division. Former districts were transformed into 1 Usually, a source context was not elaborated enough to be able to definitely state whether a certain name at the time of its recording in writing was emotively marked and played a role of a nickname. 2 Warmia was subordinated economically, militarily, judiciarily and fiscally to the East-Prussia Chamber in Królewiec, see e.g. J. Jasiński, Świadomość narodowa na Warmii w XIX wieku. Naro- dziny i rozwój, Olsztyn 1983 , p. 16-17. ~ 8 ~ demesne regions. New administrative units (counties) were created in 1818. Four of them were created in Warmia: Braniewo, Lidzbark, Reszel and Olsztyn counties. This division proved stable and lasted until 1974 without any major changes 1. In the period under examination, Warmia was divided into districts (‘komor- nictwa’) and deaneries (‘archiprezbiteraty’). All seats of districts were therefore seats of deaneries, but borders of both divisions did not always overlap 2. The Lidz- bark deanery grouped parishes situated on both sides of the border dividing the diocese into an episcopal and capitular part and a monastic part 3. The surnames under analysis originate from the centre of the district – Lidz- bark Warmiński, as well as from individual settlements and villages belonging to Lidzbark, where parishes were located: Bisztynek (Bischofstein) 4, Blanki (Blanken- see), Runowo (Raunau), Ignalin (Seiberswalde), Kraszewo (Reichenberg), Rogóż (Roggenhausen), Żegoty (Siegfriedeswalde), Kiwity (Kiwitten) and Sułowo (Schulen), Kochanówka (Stolzenhagen), Wozławki (Wuslack), Stoczek (Spring- born) 5. The excerption of anthroponyms depended on preserved sources. An at- tempt was made to obtain onomastic material from the area of the entire Lidzbark chamber. 1.3. HISTORICAL OUTLINE Lidzbark Warmiński 6 is situated on the border of the Sępopolska Plain and Olsztyn Lakeland, in the bifurcation of the Łyna and Symsarna Rivers. Because of its con- venient geographical location, this area was being used as a defensive point by Prussian times 7: “Lidzbark był już zasiedlony w pradziejach, czego świadectwem jest m.in. kurhan z epoki żelaza datowany na przełom er.

  • Holocaust Archaeology: Archaeological Approaches to Landscapes of Nazi Genocide and Persecution
    HOLOCAUST ARCHAEOLOGY: ARCHAEOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO LANDSCAPES OF NAZI GENOCIDE AND PERSECUTION BY CAROLINE STURDY COLLS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The landscapes and material remains of the Holocaust survive in various forms as physical reminders of the suffering and persecution of this period in European history. However, whilst clearly defined historical narratives exist, many of the archaeological remnants of these sites remain ill-defined, unrecorded and even, in some cases, unlocated. Such a situation has arisen as a result of a number of political, social, ethical and religious factors which, coupled with the scale of the crimes, has often inhibited systematic search. This thesis will outline how a non- invasive archaeological methodology has been implemented at two case study sites, with such issues at its core, thus allowing them to be addressed in terms of their scientific and historical value, whilst acknowledging their commemorative and religious significance.

  • The Grunwald Trail
    n the Grunwald fi elds thousands of soldiers stand opposite each other. Hidden below the protec- tive shield of their armour, under AN INVITATION Obanners waving in the wind, they hold for an excursion along long lances. Horses impatiently tear their bridles and rattle their hooves. Soon the the Grunwald Trail iron regiments will pounce at each other, to clash in a deadly battle And so it hap- pens every year, at the same site knights from almost the whole of Europe meet, reconstructing events which happened over six hundred years ago. It is here, on the fi elds between Grunwald, Stębark and Łodwigowo, where one of the biggest battles of Medieval Europe took place on July . The Polish and Lithuanian- Russian army, led by king Władysław Jagiełło, crushed the forces of the Teutonic Knights. On the battlefi eld, knights of the order were killed, together with their chief – the great Master Ulrich von Jungingen. The Battle of Grunwald, a triumph of Polish and Lithuanian weapons, had become the symbol of power of the common monarchy. When fortune abandoned Poland and the country was torn apart by the invaders, reminiscence of the battle became the inspiration for generations remembering the past glory and the fi ght for national independence. Even now this date is known to almost every Pole, and the annual re- enactment of the battle enjoys great popularity and attracts thousands of spectators. In Stębark not only the museum and the battlefi eld are worth visiting but it is also worthwhile heading towards other places related to the great battle with the Teutonic Knights order.

Michała Archanioła (od 1946 do 1996 roku) Słowa klucze: nazwiska, onimy, klasyfikacja nazwisk, frekwencja nazwisk, podstawy nazwiskotwórcze Przedmiotem artykułu są nazwiska mieszkańców z parafii pod wezwaniem św. Michała Archanioła we Wrocławiu. Materiał stanowią nazwiska z ksiąg chrztów z lat 1946−1996, spisywane co 5 (do 1956 roku), a następnie co 10 lat. Zebrałam razem 2279 antroponimów. Celem jest sklasyfikowanie i przedsta- wienie frekwencji nazwisk, ukazanie bogactwa i różnorodności podstaw na- zwiskotwórczych. Antroponimy są świadectwem naszej kultury, mentalności i osobowości. Poznanie ich motywacji pozwala na lepsze zrozumienie tego, jak ludzie interpretują świat, jak postrzegają zjawiska pozajęzykowe i wyrażają je w onimach. 1. Klasyfikacja nazwisk Klasyfikacja, która stanowi podstawę artykułu, opiera się na typologii za- wartej w pierwszym tomie pracy Zofii Kowalik-KaletyHistoria nazwisk polskich na tle społecznym i obyczajowym (XII−XV wiek) z 2007 roku. Autorka wydziela 6 typów nazwisk: odmiejscowe, patronimiczne, odapelatywne, odimienne, od- etniczne oraz obcego pochodzenia. W mojej klasyfikacji znalazła się jeszcze jed- na grupa — nazwiska homonimiczne1, które wyróżniłam ze względu na niemoż- ność odtworzenia okoliczności towarzyszących powstaniu nazwiska. 1 W onimach tych „można wskazać dwa lub więcej możliwych objaśnień etymologiczno- -motywacyjnych” (Jaracz 2001: 396).

Since nearly all written evidence was authored by one side in the conflict, the chroniclers of the Order, the reliability of the reports in respect to violence and cruelties is not clear. Therefore, archaeological discoveries are of great importance for understanding these wars and their reality. An instructive example is the deserted town of Alt-Wartenburg in Warmia (Barczewko near Olsztyn, Northeast Poland), which was captured and destroyed in 1354 by a Lithuanian army and afterwards abandoned. Recent research has revealed considerable traces of the town’s violent end: burnt houses, weapons, skeletons of the victims, and other traces of ravages and violence.
