Abstract In 2023, prospection of a dried-out lake near Papowo Biskupie in north-central Poland identified substantial deposits bronze artefacts. Excavation revealed further and dozens human skeletons that date from 1000–400 BC, suggesting the site held particular significance as place for sacrificial offerings Lusatian culture.
V2O5-TiO2 mixed oxide nanotube (NT) layers were successfully prepared via the one-step anodization of Ti-V alloys. The obtained samples characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), diffraction (DRX), and micro-Raman spectroscopy. effect applied voltage (30–50 V), vanadium content (5–15 wt %) in alloy, water (2–10 vol an ethylene glycol-based electrolyte was studied systematically to...
Plastic pollution is one of the crucial global challenges nowadays, and biodegradation a promising approach to manage plastic waste in an environment-friendly cost-effective way. In this study we identified strain fungus Trichoderma viride GZ1, which was characterized by particularly high pectinolytic activity. Using differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy techniques, viscosity measurements showed that three-month incubation polylactide polyethylene...
The aim of this work was to immobilize reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the surface selected fibrous structures. Textile fabrics made cotton (CO) polyamide (PA) were used as a carrier. following modification methods applied: coating for PA dip-coating CO. In method, no auxiliaries used, which is huge advantage. RGO/TiO2 coated characterized using several techniques: ultraviolet–visible (UV–VIS) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform...
Abstract This preliminary study characterizes the bronze metalworking on a defensive settlement of Lusatian culture in former Kamieniec (Chełmno land, Poland) as it is reflected through casting workshop recovered during recent excavations. Among ready products, ones giving evidence local metallurgy (e.g. moulds and main runners) were also identified. With shrinkage cavities dendritic microstructures revealed, artifacts prove implementing method by metalworkers. The elemental composition...
Zusammenfassung Im Herbst 2020 entdeckte eine Gruppe von Detektorgängern auf einer bewaldeten Düne in der Nähe des Dorfes Cierpice Nordzentralpolen 150 Bronzefunde. Der Fund umfasst Backenstücke, Phalerae, Rassel- und Terretringe sowie Zügelmanschetten mit Drahtgliedern, die einst Teil eines Pferdezaumzeugs aus Endbronzezeit waren. Die Zaumzeugteile wurden zusammen einem Tüllenbeil Pflanzenfasern eingewickelt dann sorgfältig einen organischen Beutel gelegt, verrottet war. In diesem Artikel...
At the beginning of 750 BC, Urnfield world-system was about to collapse, bringing many serious cultural changes in region Central Europe along with atomization local Lusatian communities from territory that is today northern Poland. It a time growing social and political competition between power elites, which took different forms, including more or less open struggle for influence metal trading network. In this paper, we provide new chemical (using ED XRF SEM-EDS) technological mCT, X-ray,...
The archaeological site of Ryńsk in north-central Poland produced sound evidence long-distance journeys people and pottery from the 6th millennium BC Central Europe by yielding a sophisticated ceramic footed bowl that can be traced to Carpathian Basin region. Archaeology indicates earliest vessels had different functional, social ritual role, but it is difficult convey information on significant role ancient societies way would pique interest general public. This paper presents digital...
In 2009, an exceptional discovery was made in west-central Poland. At the Late Bronze Age necropolis Wartosław, tools used metalworking were unearthed from a mass grave belonging to Lusatian people that can be dated 1100–900 BCE. Twelve out of over 70 ceramic vessels burial pit identified as urns contained ashes at least eight deceased individuals, including two adult men, one young woman, unspecified adult, and four children. Metallographic, chemical, petrographic investigations mortuary...
Application of the SEM-EDX technique for determination elements in alum as well chrome tanner leathers discussed article. These are found museum, library and archival collections. Alum known since ancient period while 19th c. Examples use leather samples examination range possibilities created by presented. Additional substances (not being tannins) to be structure ad surface such auxiliary agents, decorative layers, contaminations, focused on. The is useful not only characterization...
Four paintings of David Lynch's cycle from the period 1996-2001 were investigated in order to propose proper conservation treatment. Non invasive elemental analyses with portable XRF indicated traditional pigments like cadmium red, iron black, ivory black. The main material unknown origin used as paint contained significant amounts alumina, magnesium and additions silica iron. SEM-EDX FTIR conducted on samples enabled further recognition. Material was chlorinated polyethylene close...
