The research for the purpose of this monograph was undertaken at the Univer- sity of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań in partnership with the Institute of Prehistory and the Physico-Chemical Materials and Nanotechnology Section at the Faculty of Chemistry . The study was completed with the aid of chemical analyses of a com- prehensive collection of wood tar samples documented in the course of excava- tions conducted in collaboration with a number of research-related institutions . The original work in Polish, ‘Zastosowanie i technologie wytwarzania dziegciu przez społeczeństwa międzyrzecza Dniepru i Łaby od VI do II tys BC’ [Wood Tar Crafts and Their Application Among Dnieper and Elbe Interfluvial Commu- nities: 6th – 2nd millennium BC] was published in 2010 [‘Archaeologia Bimaris Monografie’, vol . 4] and received broad-ranging ‘interdisciplinary recognition’ from many scholarly circles in Central-Eastern Europe for the issues raised in respect to wood tars and their applications among prehistoric peoples . This con- sequently saw the decision to aim for a potentially broader readership through an abridged English version in the ‘Baltic-Pontic Studies’ series . The study was supervised in respect to on-going work and research methods by Professor Jerzy J . Langer at the University of Adam Mickiewicz, who also reviewed the monograph for publication . Editorial comment 1 . All dates in the B-PS are calibrated [BC; see: Radiocarbon vol . 28, 1986, and the next volumes] . Deviations from this rule will be point out in notes [bc] . 2 . The names of the archaelogical cultures and sites are standarized to the English literature on the subject (e .g . M . Gimbutas, J .P . Mallory) . In the case of a new term, the author’s original name has been retained . 3 . The spelling of names of localities having the rank of administrative cen- tres follows official, state, English language cartographic publications (e g. Ukraine, scale 1 : 2 000 000, Kiev: Mapa LTD, edition of 1996; Rèspublika BELARUS’, REVIEW-TOPOGRAPHIC MAP, scale 1:1 000 000, Minsk: BYELORUSSIAN CARTOGRAPHIC AN GEODETIC ENTERPISE, edition 1993) . FOREWORD FROM THE AUTHOR This study is the fruit of the research programme of the Department of Pre- history, Polish Institute of Prehistory, AMU in Poznań in collaboration with the Physico-chemical Materials and Nanotechnology Section, Faculty of Chemistry, AMU based in Śrem . Its main task is to exam the manufacture and application of wood tars in the prehistoric past in the Central European Lowland and as such rep- resents foremost an interdisciplinary ‘perspective’ on the Stone and Bronze Ages in regard to the use and manufacture of wood tar . At the same time this work is a consequence of the research discourse con- ducted in the broader community of both archaeologists specialising in the Stone and Bronze Ages, as well as scholars conducting archaeometric research (physico- chemical); thus bringing together two perspectives; one of the humanities (ar- chaeology) and that of the sciences (physics and chemistry) . It is therefore my pleasure to sincerely thank all those concerned without whom this work would not be possible . My sincere gratitude goes to Professor Aleksandra Cofta-Broniewska, found- er and head of the Kujawy Research Group, formed later into the Department of Polish Prehistory, my supervisor, Professor Jerzy J . Langer, Head of the Organic Semi-Conductor Laboratory transformed later into the Physico-chemical Materi- als and Nanotechnology Section, for his patience, motivation and inspiration, as well help given during the course of laboratory research . Equally, I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Aleksander Kośko, Head, Department of Polish Prehistory, for his generous help, as well as his kind- ness and engagement beyond the call of duty, which were a driving force for even greater intensification of work on my part . At the same time I would like to ex- press my sincere debt to the respective Heads of the Institute of Prehistory, AMU – Professors Hanna Kóčka-Krenz and Dobrochna Jankowska, for their enduring kindness and opportunity to complete Dr .al studies, whose final fruit is this par- ticular study . In addition I would like to sincerely thank the following: Professor Lech Czer- niak, Professor Janusz Kruk, Professor Włodzimierz Wojciechowski, Professor Michał Kobusiewicz, Professor Marzena Szmyt, Professor Lucyna Domańska, Professor

  • Pine Tar & Wood Protection Asphalt & Roof Care
    PINE TAR & WOOD PROTECTION ASPHALT & ROOF CARE PINE TAR NAture’s own wood PROTECTION Pine tar has been used in Scandinavia for hundreds of years to protect and preserve wooden buildings, boats, jetties and eve- ryday items. As well as protecting wooden structures against rot, natural tar is also mildly antiseptic. This characteristic means that pine tar is used in a number of different pharma- ceutical and veterinary products for treating skin complaints. It is therefore a common ingredient in skin ointments, soap and shampoo, etc. For a long time pine tar was one of Sweden’s most important export items. A protective oil – direct from the forest Pine tar is a viscous blackish-brown liquid consisting of vola- tile terpene oils, neutral oils, resin acids and fatty acids. It’s the combination of these substances that allows mediaeval wood- en buildings that have been regularly treated with pine tar to still stand today. The proportion of these constituents varies in different tar qualities, depending on the type of wood, its age and the part of the tree used. Historically, resin-rich pine stumps have always been considered to give the best pine tar, as resin contains substances that protect the living tree from rot, insect infestation and so on. Since it has become harder to get hold of stumps, tree trunks and branches are now used to a greater extent. Aromatic and easily soluble Pine tar is transparent in thin layers and has a natural aromatic scent. It’s pretty much fully soluble in alcohol and turpentine, as well as almost completely compatible with fatty oils.

  • The Following Carcinogenic Essential Oils Should Not Be Used In
    Aromatherapy Undiluted- Safety and Ethics Copyright © Tony Burfield and Sylla Sheppard-Hanger (2005) [modified from a previous article “A Brief Safety Guidance on Essential Oils” written for IFA, Sept 2004]. Intro In the last 20 years aromatherapy has spread its influence to the household, toiletries and personal care areas: consumer products claiming to relax or invigorate our psyche’s have invaded our bathrooms, kitchen and living room areas. The numbers of therapists using essential oils in Europe and the USA has grown from a handful in the early 1980’s to thousands now worldwide. We have had time to add to our bank of knowledge on essential oils from reflecting on many decades of aromatherapeutic development and history, the collection of anecdotal information from practicing therapists, as well as from clinical & scientific investigations. We have also had enough time to consider the risks in employing essential oils in therapy. In the last twenty years, many more people have had accidents, been ‘burnt’, developed rashes, become allergic, and become sensitized to our beloved tools. Why is this? In this paper, we hope to shed light on this issue, clarify current safety findings, and discuss how Aromatherapists and those in the aromatherapy trade (suppliers, spas, etc.) can interpret this data for continued safe practice. After a refresher on current safety issues including carcinogenic and toxic oils, irritant and photo-toxic oils, we will look at allergens, oils without formal testing, pregnancy issues and medication interactions. We will address the increasing numbers of cases of sensitization and the effect of diluting essential oils.

In the article, we discuss their spatial and ecophysiological features, biochemical constituents of the living tissues of the birches such as the wood, outer and inner bark, twigs, leaves, buds, roots. The exudation, tapping periods and sap productivity, exudated birch sap and derived birch tar are also reviewed. We show numerous useful wooden, medicinal, tanning, coloring as well as feeding and decorative properties. Chaga – (Inonotus obliquus), a fungi-parasite developed on the stems of the birch trees, is mentioned to be famous due to its antitumor and/or especially anti-cancer activity.

  • Warmia Landscape Road” As a Method of Rural Areas Sustainable Development Based on the Example of Olsztyn Rural County
    OLSZTYN ECONOMIC JOURNAL Abbrev.: Olszt. Econ. J., 2009, 4(2) DOI 10.2478/v10021-009-0017-z THE CONCEPT OF “WARMIA LANDSCAPE ROAD” AS A METHOD OF RURAL AREAS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF OLSZTYN RURAL COUNTY Dariusz Łaguna Chair of Spatial and Environmental Economies University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn K e y w o r d s: Warmia, roads, growth areas, standardization of roads, Warmia Landscape Road. Abstract The paper presents the possibility of using county roads of lesser strategic importance (others) for sustainable development of the entire area. That possibility was presented as the concept of “Warmia Landscape Road” based on the example of Olsztyn Rural County. It includes the roads planned during the 18th C. that are currently in operation connecting rural locations, residences or monumental objects (mansions-palaces-parks), lined with trees and forming avenues. Roads-avenues, as the elements of technical infrastructure are authentic elements of the landscape of Warmia (and some parts of Mazury). They may form a complementary esthetic-cultural-landscape component for visitors and represent a means for activation, and as a consequence sustainable development of rural areas.

Introduction The European Union has made very clear political decisions to increase environmental awareness. A Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides was launched by the Commission of the European Communities in 2006. It was decided to minimize the hazards and risks to health and the environment caused by the use of plant protection products. In 2009, the European Parliament accepted a new framework directive on the sustainable use of pesticides. Directive 2009/128/EC fosters the development of plant protection and integrated pest management (IPM) in the EU. The directive states that “when pesticides are used, appropriate risk management measures should be established and low-risk pesticides as well as biological control measures should be considered in the first place“.
