Badania archeologiczne w kościele pw. Imienia Najświętszej Marii Panny w Szczuczynie – sezon 2020

The article describes the archaeological works carried out in February 2020 in the crypts of the church of the Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Szczuczyn (Podlaskie Voivodeship). Works in the crypts in Szczuczyn had been carried out since 2013, however in this case the main aim of the work was to collect botanical samples to analyse the vegetation that was used in the early modern funeral rite. An important element during the work was the proper selection of places from which botanical samples were to be taken, as well as marking the samples and their further segregation. To this end, it was decided to prepare a common sampling system for all the burials.
