English: The photo presents dr. Aleksandra Rzeszotarska-Nowakiewicz – leading researcher with the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences, in Szczecin – wearing a necklace made of amber beads together with glass beads and metal bucket pendants. The necklace, together with the two silver brooches for fastening the robe, is a portion of women’s apparel typical for Wielbark culture. These artefacts, dating back to the second half of the 3rd c. AD, come from a burial of Wielbark culture located in the cemetery in Jartypory (eastern Mazowsze, Poland) that was excavated by dr. Jacek Andrzejowski from the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw. The artefacts testify to the migration of the Wielbark culture peoples southward, to lands along the Black Sea in the period of Roman influence. The photography was commissioned for the 5-volume publication “The Past Societies. Polish Lands from the First Evidence of Human Presence to the early Middle Ages”, by the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology, Polish Academy of Sciences, through a grant from the National Programme for the Development of the Humanities. It was carried out thanks to the permission of the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw, in whose collections the artefacts shown are safeguarded. The photo is by Wawrzyniec Skoczylas. The photo-session was designed by Albert Salamon.
