We are pleased to announce the publication of a new volume from the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw, which is now available under the ‘Serie’ tab. This is the English-language version of the inaugural volume of the monograph on the Jartypory cemetery, and simultaneously the subsequent (XXIV/1) volume of the esteemed Monumenta Archaeologica Barbarica series, overseen by the Monumenta Archaeologica Barbarica Foundation. The volume was published thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage under the government programme ‘Protection of Archaeological Monuments’ and a grant from the budget of the Mazovian Regional Council.

“In October 2024, the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw published the first volume of the monograph of the Late Antique cemetery in Jartypory, Węgrów County in eastern Poland. The volume contains a catalogue of objects and artefacts found both by chance and as a result of systematic excavations carried out between 1998 and 2017. In total, almost 480 archaeological features have been discovered here, including almost 460 cremations and inhumations of the Wielbark Culture dating from the second half of the 2nd century CE to the turn of the 4th and 5th centuries CE, as well as several dozen artefacts from a completely destroyed cemetery of the Przeworsk Culture dating from the first half of the 1st century BCE to the first half of the 2nd century CE. The catalogue is accompanied by extensive illustrative material – 327 tables with drawings and photographs, an insert with a plan of the site, tables with the results of 250 chemical analyses of mainly non-ferrous metal artefacts, and an introduction providing a description of the history of discoveries and research of the site. Two separate chapters contain a study of the traces of older settlements discovered at the site – from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Early Iron Age.” (Jacek Andrzejowski).

From the reviews:
“…we obtain a work that I believe meets the highest scientific, linguistic and technical standards”
(Ass. Prof. Kalina Skóra, Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences).

“I believe that this monograph has the potential to become one of the most important and frequently cited scientific works. I am also inclined to believe that the cemetery of the Wielbark Culture at Jartypory is one of the most significant cemeteries in Central European Barbaricum” (Ass. prof. Barbara Niezabitowska-Wiśniewska, Institute of Archaeology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin).
