The deceased belonged to the local gentry and were depicted in similar poses. The authors discuss the appearance of both stone slabs, trying to compare the visible armour representations with surviving examples from
the period in question and, on this basis, identify one of the tombstones as belonging to Johannes von Schönaich (IV, died 1549), one of the six representatives of the family bearing that name who lived in the 15th and 16th centuries at Boreczno.

The post-Teutonic Order Castle in Przezmark (community: Stary Dzierzgoń, district: Sztum, Pomera... more The post-Teutonic Order Castle in Przezmark (community: Stary Dzierzgoń, district: Sztum, Pomeranian voivodship) was a vast bipartite complex located on a headland jutting into Lake Mołtawa Wielka, separated from the market village with a moat; furthermore, a dry moat separated the High Castle from the Middle Castle. Originally built as a seat
for lesser Teutonic Order officials, the Castle was proclaimed the seat of the Order’s Commandry upon its relocation from Dzierzgoń.
Archaeological works at the complex have been ongoing since 2017, extending to the east section of the High Castle’s south wing in 2021. Two excavations were established for purposes of confirming and authenticating the existing de velopment: excavation I (between the south wing walls) and excavation J (north of the wall closing the south wing off to the north). Both excavations were intended to provide data regarding the construction history and functioning of the east section of the High Castle’s south wing. A well outline 2.5 m in diameter framed with a brick support structure was uncovered in the north section of excavation I. The area between the well and south peripheral wall was paved. A massive
west-to-east brick foundation was uncovered in excavation J – evidence that development plans for the High Castle’s south section had been in the pipeline in the 14th century already.

The watch fragment of Przezmark is one of five diptych sundials found during excavations in Poland. Such sundials, produced between the end of the 15th century and the end of the 18th century, are found at many European and North American sites. To date, 110 specimens have been recorded, mainly from urban sites, but also from castles, manors, monasteries, and wrecks, sunk mainly off the North American and European coasts, but also beyond the northern Arctic Circle.

Fragments
of cups with holes in the bottom were found in the latrine, the function and application constituted an interesting issue. We decided to use gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry to extract organic residues from the vessel walls. The method of chemical analysis allowed for the separation of fatty acids, which are preserved in the walls of the vessels. The comparison of the results with historical and ethnographic sources made it possible to formulate a thesis about the use of cups
for the production of cheese. On the other hand, the chemical research carried out, consisting of the analysis of food biomarkers, allowed us to conclude that the cups could be used in cheese making during
the production of rennet cheeses.

In one of them, an older man was buried, in the other - two women and a younger man. All of them were killed during the January offensive, probably on the 22nd of January 1945 or a bit later. The older man was killed by shrapnel, the rest of them were shot by the Red Army soldiers. The Flash January offensive enabled many inhabitants of East Prussia to evacuate to the Reich. First-line troops quickly reached Elbląg and Tolkmicko, often bypassing longer defending points of resistance, and second-line units seized them, often carrying out several murders on civilians. The evacuation of parts of the German and indigenous populations and the subsequent resettlements have left the fate of many missing civilians in the last months of the Second World War unknown and the found graves of the civilian population are impersonal.

Jana Chrzciciela w Malborku. Ich realizacja była możliwa ze względu na zaplanowane prace konserwatorsko-architektoniczne. Głównym celem badań georadarowych było rozpoznanie struktur znajdujących się poniżej posadzki. Pozwoliło to na wyznaczenie sfer w obrębie kościoła, gdzie posadzka mogła ulec zniszczeniu po wprowadzeniu zbyt ciężkich rusztowań1. Opisano pozyskanie i obróbkę danych oraz przedstawiono interpretację otrzymanych wyników, które porównano z informacjami historycznymi o zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym kościoła. Przeprowadzone badania georadarowe miały na celu zebranie danych, które na kolejnym etapie prac posłużyły do zaplanowania przebiegu prac renowacyjnych i konserwatorskich bez uszczerbku dla obiektu zabytkowego.
SUMMARY
The article presents the course of non-invasive geophysical recognition of the floors of the church of St John the Baptist in Malbork. The research was preceded by conservation and renovation works. The basic features of the GPR method used, as well as the method of data acquisition and interpretation, are described. The possibilities of using the method as pre-emptive and supplementary research for historical sources are presented.

The material for analysis was obtained during GPR works carried out at the Teutonic castle in Przezmark. They have become an important supplement to the available historical knowledge and results of previous excavations. Due to the lack of accurate information about the buildings located in the castle area, an attempt was made to identify the area in a non-invasive
manner. For verification of architectural remains invisible in the modern landscape, the GPR device VIY-300i with a 300 MHz screen antenna from Transient Technologies LLC was used. After processing the data, an image of the examined area was obtained, in which GPR anomalies were observed. Due to the nature of the examined object, they were initially associated with architectural objects. After obtaining the results in the indicated place, a survey excavation was established to confirm the anomaly and to know its origin.

A magnetic prospection preceded the fieldwork. In the course of two seasons three of nine units in the northernmost part of the site were investigated. Stone enclosures and small houses with white mortar floors were discovered and dated provisionally to the late pre-Islamic and early Islamic period. The settlement was cleared of practically all finds save for some refuse pottery in the courtyards.

W artykule zaprezentowano wyniki pierwszego sezonu badań archeologicznych zamku pokrzyżackiego w Przezmarku. Pozwoliły one na wstępną weryfikację publikowanych wcześniej planów. Stwierdzono obecność wykusza ustępowego w północno-wschodniej części założenia, brak działalności budowlanej w jego północno-zachodniej części w okresie średniowiecza. Zakwestionowano obecność wieży na planie koła w północno-zachodniej części zamku średniego. Dokonano też wstępnego rozwarstwienia budowli.
