The complex consisted of a palace with two side wings, two free-standing outbuildings, garden-park arrangement and two economic buildings. In 2004 archaeological excavations within the object were conducted, which aimed at completing the knowledge on the palace and completing the data about its building phases were conducted. In the course of the works 7902 fragments of movables were obtained, such as clay vessels, tiles, glass and metal objects, animal bones and others. Among an interesting collection of tiles, including 1047 fragments, only 8 fragments of vessel-like specimens were distinguished. Plate tiles were divided into groups considering mainly their ornamentation. The main part of the collection is composed by specimens with cartouche ornament. Their faces arc most often covered with white glaze. Layers, in which such fragments were found arc connected with the oldest building phase of the Saxon palace dated to 1750. Filling and moulding specimens were distinguished. On the grounds of finds of tiles of such type within trench X a reconstruction of the stove was made, which may have been placed in one of the rooms of the western palace wing. Less numerous group was created by fragments of tiles in similar stylistics, covered with green glaze. These finds are dated to the 2nd half of the 18th century. Also fragments of tiles, plates of which were decorated with wealthy vegetal motifs characteristic of the 17th century ornamentation were distinguished. Specimens were covered with green and olive glazes. The last group included the 19th century specimens of plain, unornamented plates covered with green glaze. Remains of heating equipment were stated in side wings of the palace and in the central break. This discovery will probably help the works on reconstruction of stoves functioning in the palace. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/46730 Pierwsze zidentyfikowane odkrycie pieca typu hypocaustum na Wawelu Kukliński, Andrzej In 2006 for the first time on Wawcl Hill in Cracow remains of heating construction of hypocaustum type based on heating and distributing the heated air in used interiors (habitable, bathing) were discovered. The object was revealed in the course of archaeological works carried out in the cellar and on the ground floor of the Gothic building raised around the half of the 15'h century (before 1460) within so-called Upper Castle at the Gothic curtain defensive wall (fig. I). In the cellar of the building, in the north-west corner, stone foundation of a stove preserved (added to the walls of the cellar) (fig. 2, 4). Beneath the present floor of the ground floor, the upper brick part of its chamber, covered with arched vault, thermal channels and original usable level (mortar) together with remains of two stone slabs with heating holes (fig. 3, 5) were revealed. In places, in surroundings of the stove on the surface of the vault fill also leveling with imprints of ceramic floor tiles prcscrved. In the partition wall of the cellar (originally a side wall of the stove) there is a quadrangular hole surmounted with an arch - most probably the inlet of the stove (fig. 6). After battering down the lower part of the stove, it was completely built over from the side of the main stove chamber. From side of longish "corridor" room (so-called treasury-room) it was only partially filled with Gothic bricks joined with clay. Remains of hypocaustum construction show that it was a one-chamber object. No traces of grate were found. The grate chamber at the same time served as heating chamber. A problem of carrying away combustion gas from the stove inside (the run of the flue) remains unsolved as well as high - not functional location of the inlet hole (may be one of two situated on different levels) as well as function of the stove - whether it played only heating role or was equipment of a bath? 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/46729 Najnowsze odkrycia kafli z zamku w Chudowie koło Gliwic Tarasiński, Arkadiusz 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/11089/5689 Kafle z zamku radomskiego Olejnik, Jarosław The article includes an analysis of a collection of tiles obtained in the course of numerous excavations and archaeological-architectonic supervisions within the old castle complex in Radom built on foundation of Casimir the Great, together with the city walls, in the years 1340-1350. The complex was extended in the end of the 14th century, and in the rst half of the 16th century modernization of the object in the Renaissance style was conducted. Repairs, among others after the burning by the Swedish army, fall to the 17th century, while in 1787 the object was subjected to radical modernization by Alexander Potkañski, the last starost of Radom. During archaeological excavations within the buildings of the old castle 1516 fragments of tiles were obtained, from among which 40 are remains of vessel tiles with round or quadrangular holes, rarely in form of four- or ve-leaved shamrock. The tiles came entirely from mixed rubble layers, therefore the chronology was established on the grounds of stylistics and technological analysis. Finds of plate tiles were divided into chronological groups covering the period from the 16th to the end of the 18th century. The rst is constituted by Renaissance specimens from the 16th century. Here, specimens decorated with a rosette motif, an image of a peacock, fragments of niche and surmounting tiles, in shape of lilies were distinguished. The second group comprises late Renaissance specimens with a motif of a whirling rosette in frame, and shelf tiles among others with ornament of sh scale. A separate subgroup of late Renaissance tiles was formed by specimens with green glaze, on which a tournament scene (g. 13), a whirling rosette, a motif of so-called convex mirror (g. 15) are represented as well as a surmounting element with an upturned inscription “INRI”, in which the letters were divided by Xs. The third period, falling to the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, included specimens with continuous ornament, composed of vegetal-geometric motifs with characteristic heart motif in the central part, and fragments of ller tiles with motifs of rosettes placed in meshes of plaitwork. Among the specimens from the first half of the 17th century fragments decorated with motifs of vegetal twigs and vegetal-geometric ornament were distinguished, whereas specimens with image of an eagle wearing a crown, sometimes placed in a medallion as well as specimens decorated with strongly stylized oral ornament, which probably came from the same stove, are dated to a period about the half of the 17th century. An attempt at reconstruction of heating installation was made, which was built of two boxes in shape of cuboid. To the last period tiles in Rococo style were ascribed, unglazed or covered with white glaze. They were decorated with oral motifs or a motif of grape-vine. The research on the castle brought a discovery of an interesting tile collection with a very rich set of ornamental motifs, characteristic of high quality of realization. The material, however, is not fully representative because from among most of heating installations only fragments of tiles preserved, which do not the full picture of the stove’s splendor. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
