Holocene vegetation history was reconstructed from the beginning of the Preboreal to the Late Middle Ages. On the basis of the curves of selected taxa and the occurrence of plant indicators of the presence of man 6 settlement phases were distinguished and correlated with archaeological data. The investigations have shown that the fi rst week palynological indications of human presence around the lake were connected with the Atlantic chronozone, while the strongest impact of man on vegetation was recorded in the Middle Ages and modern times.

  • ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS Leszek Kajzer 50 YEARS OF
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA ARCHAEOLOGICA 19, 1995 Leszek Kajzer 50 YEARS OF ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF ŁÓDŹ — SUMMARY In 1995, 50th anniversary of establishing the Chair of Archaeology at the University of Łódź takes place. There are two events which this fact bases on. First one is a foundation of the University of Łódź in this very year, second, the arrival of Professor Konrad Jażdżewski (1908-1985) to our city. This archaeologist, earlier connected with Poznań and Warszawa, settled in Łódź after World War II and joined the group of new University founders. By reason of that fact, and all his activity, a title of doctor „honoris causa” of the University of Łódź was conferred on Prof. K. Jażdżewski in 1985. At first the name of institution run by K. Jażdżewski was the Departament of Prehistory. In 1952 it was changed into the Chair of Archaeology of Poland and in 1967 into the Chair of Archaeology. A half-century of our institution is a good opportunity for a moment of reflection, as well as, for an attempt to summarize research efforts and didactic achievements. During all its histoty in Łódź centre the archaeological discipline has been moving through many changes. No further back as to the 1980s and the 1990s there were five archaeological institutions in Łódź (all of them owe their existence, to some extend, to Prof. Jażdżewski). These institutions were, as follows: the Chair of Archaeology, the Archaeological and Ethnografical Museum, run by the Professor until he retired, the Branch of the Departament of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences (former the Depa- rtament of Material Culture History), run by K.

Changes in Determining Age of Prehistoric Artifacts ABSTRACT Woźny J. 2016. From magical valorization to radiocarbon chronology. Changes in determining age of prehistoric artifacts. Analecta Archaeologica Ressoviensia 11, 79–98 Changes in determining age of prehistoric artifacts are closely linked to the search for objective grounds for reconstructing the history of human culture. In the Middle Ages, the origin of archaeological finds was explained by natural forces. For instance, it was thought that the Earth gives birth to vessels and keeps the bones of mythical creatures. For the religious worldview, it was the Bible that constituted the basis for perceiving the world. Chronology of ancient monuments referred to biblical events. Findings of antediluvian animals and plants were described. The existence of an antediluvian man was discussed. The age of these findings was estimated to reach several thousand years BC. Scientific methods of studying the chronology of prehistory developed in the mid-19th century, after the introduction of system of three ages by C.J. Thomsen. It was thought that social evolution was an objective source of cultural change, corresponding with K. Darwin’s ideas. Improvement of methods for determining the age of archaeological artifacts took place in the second half of the 20th century, thanks to C14 dating. Despite the conviction of archaeologists of the objectivity of radiocarbon chronology, it raises many objections and controversies. This proves that there is no single research method leading to objective knowledge about prehistory.
