- Opis:
- In the spring of 1990 some preliminary field works were carried out in the area of site 2 in Giecz near Nekla. They are closely associated with the archaeobotanical investigation of underwater culture layer commenced on the western shore of Ostrów Lednicki during the past three years (Tobolski 1989, Polcyn 1991). The aim of the field reconnaissance developed in the area of central Great Poland is to discover and locate new sites that contain biogenic and culture sediments of lacustrine origin. One such place is the vicinity of the early Medieval stronghold in Giecz. The stronghold lies on the edge of Moskawa river valley which in the past was filled by a long, narrow lake (fig. 1A). Site 2 covers a part of the Moskawa valley crossed by an early Medieval dyke that connected the stronghold with a trade settlement whose remains can be found in the area of today’s village Giecz (fig. 1.В.). So far, the only information concerning the details of the dyke is contained in the preliminary report from the excavations in 1951. During the spring works a contour map of site 2 was drawn (fig. 4). Two rows of wooden stakes were revealed. They stretch as far as 70 m from the stronghold’s ramparts to the river (fig. 4). The distance between the rows is about 6 m. Two borings were carried out in the area of these dyke remains (Gc A and Gc B, fig. 4). In the core Gc B, a piece of Medieval leather shoe was found. The PEG diagram (Plant Ecological Groups) made for this core (Eg. 5) shows a great abundance of macrofossil plant remains contained in the examined sediments. There are plant indicators both for culture layer (weeds and cultivars group) and the water environment of its accumulation (water plant group and Chorales). It has led to tentative identification of the wooden construction as a bridge/dyke. In order to reach a final solution of the problem regarding its function and to get sediments for a palaeoecological study the idea of new excavations was implemented with the resultant siting of the archaeological trench (fig. 4).
