This summer has been very busy for us. In addition to the third issue of the “Archeologicznych Zeszyt\u00f3w Sprawozdawczych”, we have been preparing materials for three conferences, there have been layouts and typesetting of publications on commission, a flurry of editorial work and translations, as well as three new books that we are publishing in collaboration with several scientific institutions. Not all news can fit into one post, so here it is, step by step.<\/p>\n\n
All three titles are already in print, and as soon as the printing house delivers the freshly inked volumes, they will be available for purchase in our online store.<\/p>\n\n
Urban violence harnessed or unleashed? The role of arms and armour as everyday objects in the daily life of a medieval and early modern port town: The example of Gda\u0144sk<\/strong> Krystian Chrzan<\/strong> \u201eKraina grod\u00f3w\u201d is an interdisciplinary tale about the relics of early medieval fortified settlements from the area of northeastern Lower Silesia and southern Greater Poland \u2013 their forms, functions, and significance in the lives of ancient Slavic communities. The author, combining the latest archaeological methods with reflection on the landscape and social structure of the era, presents 84 sites as elements of a larger narrative about the tribal world before the establishment of the Piast state. The book goes beyond a mere description of sources, raising questions about how people of that time perceived space, what the fortresses meant to them, and how they fit into daily life and the spirituality of pre-Christian Slavs. It is not only an archaeological study but also an attempt to reconstruct a world whose material traces continue to shape our cultural landscape.<\/p>\n\n A United Europe of Things 2: further consideration of medieval small finds from a pan-European perspective<\/strong>\n
