Średniowieczne kabłączki skroniowe z pozostałościami nitek z Łowicza, woj. łódzkie Antosik, Łukasz; Słomska, Joanna; Zawilski, Paweł In 2011, an archaeological supervision was carried out in the town of Łowicz, related to construction works. In the course of works, a small number of artefacts was found, dated to the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. The most interesting find is a group of 9 temple rings deposited in the excavation unit no. III, upon which organic remains of textile products were found. The discovered decorative artefacts are temple rings representing the type III according to the classification by K. Musianowicz or the variant B according to the classification by H. Kóčkę-Krenz. The textile remains have been preserved in residual form on six out of nine temple rings. These are small fragments of threads and remains of mineralized fibres. On four artefacts, both thread and fibre parts were visible. All thread fragments were produced of plant fibre, most probably, the universally employed linen. The threads are Z-twisted, the twist being very weak. The state of preservation of other fibres surviving on the surface of the temple rings was too poor to enable detailed technological analyses. The described temple rings were most probably originally deposited in a grave that was destroyed in unknown circumstances. It can be stated that the textile evidence does not differ from other finds of this type from the discussed period.

Konserwacja i rekonstrukcja rękawicy skórzanej z Wyspy Spichrzów w Gdańsku Nowak, Sebastian The article presents brief characteristics of protective gloves, based on an example of an artifact excavated during archaeological exploration of a „Babel” granary at Żytnia street in Gdańsk. The object was treated and reconstructed in The Documentation and Conservation Laboratory of The Institute of Archaeology, NCU in Toruń. The article includes conservation issues, the program and description of treatments implemented working on the object, as well as the problem of importance of archaeological objects’ reconstruction to demonstrate technological processes and crafts of creating the items, especially to the public not being involved in scientific problems and having difficulties in perception of destroyed artifacts, deprived of their cultural contexts.

Późnośredniowieczna ceramika naczyniowa z gródka stożkowatego w Giecznie, gm. Zgierz, pow. zgierski, woj. łódzkie Nierychlewska, Anna; Sikora, Jerzy A Late medieval motte-and-bailey timber castle in Gieczno was recognized by an analysis of the LiDAR derived Digital Terrain Model in 2014. The stronghold’s remnants are situated in the Moszczenica River valley, on a small hillock – most probably the residual terrace. It is preserved as a small mound, elevated no more then 1,5 m above the surrounding floodplain in the bottom of the valley. The mound has dimensions of 31 x 33 m and an area of about 890 m2. It is surrounded by a moat, about 8 to 10 m wide, and an adjacent low rampart not exceeding the height of 0.5 in relation to the bottom of the moat. The course of the rampart is interrupted in the south-eastern part. Another small, oval hillock with dimensions of approximately 23.4 x 37.9 m is noticeable there. This find should be interpreted as remains of a motte and bailey castle with an economic area which supplemented the mound.In 2015, a field investigation was run by Jerzy Sikora from the Institute of Archaeology of University of Łódź. During two weeks of field work, two trenches were explored:Trench 1 (with dimensions of 1,5 x 35 m) cut the mound from its center to the South through the moat and the outer rampart in order to obtain a cross section of the feature.Trench 2 (with dimensions of 12 x 1,5 m) was situated on the hillock (supposedly – motte) with the aim to recognize its stratigraphy.During the excavation, a collection of Late Medieval potsherds was obtain (1472 pieces) together with a small number of metal finds, bones, slag pieces and a carved wooden artefact – a part of the Late Medieval furniture piece. An analysis of the collection helped to establish its chronology to the 14th and first half of 15th centuries. The collection was distinguished by a significant number of potsherds made with the use of traditional methods and a relatively low amount of potsherds fired in a reducing (oxidizing) atmosphere. This indicates ties with the local, rural workshops rather than with the advanced manufacturing known in towns.The excavations of the Gieczno stronghold revealed two phases of the feature:• Phase I – the timber ringwork, protected with a small inner rampart, a palisade, a moat and an outer rampart can be dated by the radiocarbon analysis supported by an analysis of the finds to the 1st quarter of the14th century.

Badania archeologiczne dworu Zarembów w Kalinowej – siedziby jednego z najzamożniejszych rodów w średniowiecznej Polsce Ginter, Artur There is no possibility to talk about medieval Poland without Zaremba z Kalinowy family. Nowadays Kalinowa is a small village with gothic church and the XIX century looking palace surrounded by moat and lake from a north side. In XIV or beginning of XV century first manor house was build on the island. During our excavations in 2011 we discovered that in XV century new mansion was constructed on a mainland area. Inside there were beautiful late medieval tiled stoves, and rare artefacts (i.e. axe shaped badge) mostly known from large cities like Gdańsk or Kraków. In the XVII century Kalinowa was sold to Łubieńscy family. After that they build new palazzo in fortezza residence which was totally rebuilt in XVIII and XIX century.
