Osadnictwo mezolityczne w południowej części Pojezierza Łagowskiego
Despite a growing recognition of late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic settlement in recent years, the area of Pojezierze Łagowskie still represents one of less known regions of western Poland, both in terms of Old and Middle Stone Age settlement and reconstruction of of contemporary environmental conditions. The article provides results of technological, typological, functional analyses, as well as that of raw materials used in stone industry of Mesolithic communities occupying sites 13 and 16 in Wilenko. Majority of functional tools is characterised by use-wear traces, which should be interpreted as results of variability of meat, bone, antler, and leather processing activities or game hunting. In the article an attempt has been made to reconstruct environmental conditions, on the basis of the results of pollen analysis
Physico-geographical mesoregions of Poland : verification and adjustment of boundaries on the basis of contemporary spatial data
The programme of identification, cataloguing and evaluation of Polish landscapes, part of the implementation
of the European Landscape Convention, has caused an increase in interest in physico-geographical regionalisation
over recent years. The commonly accepted regionalisation of Poland developed by J. Kondracki (Kondracki
& Richling 1994) is sufficient for work at an overview scale (e.g. 1:500,000), whereas its spatial accuracy is too
low to make use of it for the purpose of Polish landscape cataloguing. The aim of this article is to present
a more up-to-date and detailed division of Poland into mesoregions, adjusted to the 1:50,000 scale. In comparison
with older work, the number of mesoregions has increased from 316 to 344. In many cases, some
far-reaching changes in meso- and macroregions were made. Nevertheless, in most cases the previous system
of units was maintained, with more detailed adjustment of boundaries based on the latest geological and
geomorphological data and the use of GIS tools for the DEM analysis. The division presented here is a creatively
developing new work aligning the proposals of the majority of Polish researchers. At the same time, it is
a regionalisation maintaining the idea of the work developed by J. Kondracki as well as his theoretical assumptions
and the criteria used to distinguish units, which makes it a logical continuation of his regional division
