AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF THE CULTURAL UNITY OF THE HANSEATIC TOWNS IN THE BALTIC REGION Keywords: Hanseatic towns, archaeology, the Middle Ages Summary Archaeological research on the Hanseatic towns established in the Middle Ages in the Baltic region has been conducted on a large scale since the 1980’s. Discoveries made since then allow to formulate a thesis about the cultural unity among the inhabitants of towns situated on the South Baltic coast between the 13th and 15th centuries. Based on selected instances of the urban culture, widely discussed in archaeological sources, the paper is an attempt to prove that a number of similarities can be revealed in various spheres of life led by the inhabitants of towns located in the Baltic region, often situated far away from one another. The analysis covered the following aspects: architecture – quoting the example of tenements with entrance halls which in the 14th century became a common element of the cultural landscape in towns located in the Baltic region; pottery – quoting the example of popular in this part of Europe stoneware and red glazed jugs; and, last but not least, devotional objects – quoting the example of pilgrim badges that revealed evident preferences demonstrated by the pilgrims as to their pilgrimage destina- tions, paying special attention to supra-regional sanctuaries located in German-speaking area, particularly on the Rhine and the Moza rivers. * Uniwersytet Szczeciński, Wydział Himanistyczny, Katedra Archelogii, e-mail: marian. [email protected]. 6 Marian Rębkowski As for reasons underlying the development of the cultural unity of the Hanseatic towns, archaeologists mention similar legal and economic factors contributing to their development, much the same cultural and ethnical origin of the townspeople the majority of whom came from German territory, and, last but not least, business contacts (particu- larly distant ones) which, after all, embodied the essence of the Hanseatic League since they were aimed at exchanging not only goods, but also ideas. Introduction The Hanseatic League was finally developed in the 13th century as a con- federation of towns, merchants of which were involved in a far-distance trade. One of the basic factors of establishing the League was a need of protection of the merchants and their privileges in the regions situated far away of the home towns. According to a broadly accepted opinion the range of the activity of the League is marked by the position of the four Hanseatic “kontors” situated in London, Ber- gen, Brügge and Novgorod. Among the members of the Hanseatic League located within the area, the port towns located on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea were of special importance. These were the towns chartered mostly in the 13th century according to the so-called “German Low” and situated in areas inhabited by different people, namely the Elbe Slavs, Slavic inhabitants of Pomerania, the Balts and the Finno-Ugric peoples. The chartered towns were founded in the entire area under discussion on the initiative of local feudal authority, including rulers of the Slavic duchies as well as knightly orders conquering the eastern part of the region. All along the coast, from Lübeck in the west to Tallin (Reval) in the east, the founding of the char- tered towns was a breakthrough point in the urbanization process of the region. This was reflected in a number of changes introduced such as new legal regula- tions under which the towns were to function, new rules governing the delimita- tion and organization of urban area and the influx of German settlers who would later on compose a majority of the town inhabitants. The aforementioned factors were common for towns situated far away from one another. Moreover, the towns were tied with a net of the trade connections which were the essence of activities undertaken by Hanseatic merchants and a driving force not only behind the flow of goods, but also behind the exchange of practices or ideas. Therefore, one may Stone Houses, Glazed Jugs and Pilgrim Badges... 7 expect that the culture of the Hanseatic towns located on the South Baltic coast shared a number of similarities. Results of archaeological research conducted in the towns in the area under discussion over the last decades shed a new light on the problem. The archaeology of late medieval towns, including those belonging to the Hanseatic League, is a relatively young and at the same time very specific area of science. The first

Zatem jesienią 1984 roku wszedłem po raz pierwszy na pięterko domu w dzielnicy Putney do skrom­ nego, ale przytulnego mieszkania wypełnionego regałami z tysiącami książek. Drobna, uśmiechnięta gospodyni domu od razu podbijała przybysza serdecz­ nością, ciepłem, bezpośredniością. Wypytywała o wy­ darzenia związane z ruchem opozycyjnym w kraju, w czym zresztą wykazywała znakomitą orientację, ale tez łatwo dawała się skłonić do wspomnień. W każdej roz­ mowie przypominała zdarzenia i ludzi z Polski przedwo­ jennej, z emigracji wojennej i długich lat wychodźstwa. Jej opowieść była zawsze pełna anegdot, które bawiły słuchacza, a jednocześnie tworzyły zwięzłe charakterys­ tyki ludzi i szkicowały klimat epoki.

  • Ships and Boats: Prehistory to Present Selection Guide Summary
    Ships and Boats: Prehistory to Present Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s selection guides help to define which historic assets are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. The 2002 National Heritage Act expressly gave Historic England new responsibilities for the preservation of monuments in, on or under the seabed. The Council of Europe’s 1992 European Convention on the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage (known as the Valetta Convention of 1992, and ratified by the UK in 2001) makes no distinction between land and sea in terms of the location of archaeological assets. Protecting wreck sites is part of our duty to preserve this aspect of the marine historic resource. The existing arrangements are complex, so one of the principal aims of this selection guide is to set out current approaches and provide extra clarity as to our designation approaches. This guide applies to all vessels, irrespective of the original environment they navigated, covering those used on inland waters, coastal waters and the open sea. It also includes vessels that are now buried under the ground, where reclamation or some other process has caused a former waterway to be covered by dry land: many of the most significant early boats and ships have been discovered on land rather than at sea. It also deals with vessels that are no longer afloat, and which have become permanently settled (either on land, in an inter-tidal location, or within English territorial waters, which extend up to 12 nautical miles from the coast), and which meet the legal test of forming a vessel or its remains.

  • Diplomacy Between Emperors and Caliphs in the Tenth Century
    86 »The messenger is the place of a man’s judgment«: Diplomacy between Emperors and Caliphs in the Tenth Century Courtney Luckhardt* Travel and communication in the early medieval period were fundamental parts of people’s conceptions about temporal and spiritual power, which in turn demonstrated a ruler’s legit­ imacy. Examining the role of messengers and diplomatic envoys between the first Umayyad caliph of al­Andalus, ‘Abd al­Rahman III, and his fellow tenth­century rulers in Christian kingdoms, including the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos and the first Holy Roman emperor, Otto I, illuminates internal and external negotiations that defined the pluralistic Iberian society in the early Middle Ages. Formal religious and ethnic differences among Muslim rulers and non­Muslim messengers enhanced the articulation of political le­ gitimacy by the caliph. Diplomatic correspondence with foreign rulers using the multiplicity of talents and ethno­religious identities of their subjects was part of the social order provided by the Andalusi rulers and produced by those they ruled, demonstrating the political autho­ rity of the Umayyad caliphate. Keywords: diplomacy, messengers, al-Andalus, political authority, ‘Abd al-Rahman III, Muslim- Christian relations »The wise sages have said… the messenger is the place of a man’s judgment, and his letter is the place of his intellect.« So related Ibn al­Farra’ in the Rasul al-muluk, a treatise on diplomacy commissioned by the caliph of al­Andalus in the second half of the tenth century.1 Political and diplomatic connections between elite groups and proto­states happened at the personal and individual level in the early medieval period.
