Wstępna analiza unikatowego zabytku wykonanego z kości pięty zwierzęcia.Vanitas, a research on death and vanishing Culture and art from the Middle Ages were strongly associated with the Christian religion. This was mainly due to the possibility of transmission of moral and ethical message of the Holy Writ to wide range of illiterate audience. Death and redemption played a very important role in everyday life of Christians. The concept of'good death' was not only associated with the very moment of death, but also with daily life, significantly influenced by decent behaviour. Paintings, sculptures, but also decorative elements of clothing and accessories, e.g. rosaries and pendants were meant to remind constantly the transience of life and the need for faith in God in order to secure the immortal soul in Paradise and redemption of sins committed in life. Representations of vanitas showed the relationship between life and death. They also recalled moral values from sacred texts and precepts from the Scriptures, in accordance with which a good Christian, who wanted to receive the remission of sins after death, should have lived. Vanitas often had form of rosary beads or were a decoration emphasizing the piety of its owner. The manner of their manufacturing indicates great artistic value of each specimen, which caused high cost of small work of art. The greater craftsmanship the greater prestige and social status of the owner, who could afford to order vanitas made of wood, bone, precious stones or ivory

An ossuary was found in a brass sarcophagus, dated to 1720 based on a medallion. The archaeological material was mixed with rubbish and sand. Inside the sarcophagus, the remains of both adults and children were discovered. These are believed to be members of the von Kottwitz family, former owners of Konotop. The separation of the material into different types of cloth was quite painstaking and lengthy. Only one of the grave robes has survived in an almost intact condition. It was a simple grave robe without a back. During the analysis of the skeletal remains, it was matched to the red stained skeleton of an infant.

Grupa M., Majorek M. and Grupa D. 2014. Selected silk coffin upholstery from 17th and 18th centuries on Polish lands. Sprawozdania Archeologiczne 66, 165–182. Originating from wealthy families, funerals that took place in the 17th and 18th c were in fact theatrical performances, with a major part being played by colour, luxurious textiles and all other elements connected with burial ceremonies, e.g. 3000 candles. Clothes and haberdashery (as well as footwear, gloves, stockings, bands), made of silk fabrics were regarded as luxurious objects in the Middle Ages and Modern Times. Silk yarn was also used for upholstery textile production. Coffins were upholstered in these periods using: silk, wool and linen. Silk presented in the article, belongs to plain fabrics in weave 1/1, but also satins, velvets and damasks. Ornamenting motifs took the form of geometric shapes and flora. Archaeological material rarely delivers original textile colour, because they usually appear in yellow and green as a result of pigment decomposition. However, the textiles discussed here revealed red fabrics in various shades. The selected coffin upholstery comes from archaeological explorations in churches from Szczuczyn, Gniew, Lublin and Toruń.

Selected modern era passementerie from the southern crypt of St. Nicholas’ church in Gniew In 2009, archaeologists carrying out excavations in St. Nicholas’ church in Gniew and in the area around the church discovered a large collection of textiles, mainly silks. These fi nds included numerous passementerie textiles. 15 examples have been selected from over 200 diff erent ribbons discovered in the southern crypt of the church, which later have been subjected to basic technological analyses. Th ey come from the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. At this stage of research it is not possible to specify where the textiles were manufactured. In addition to metric measurements, types of weave, density of fabrics, twirl of threads and type of ornament have been established. Furthermore, there has been an attempt to identify functions of individual textiles. Th ose bearing marks of pins or tied in bows have been assigned to trimmings that decorated outfi ts of people buried in the crypt, ...

Burials of Catholic priests are often characterised by slight differences to the norms obligatory for traditional
burials. The priests’ graves situated in a crypt and under the church fl oor are often positioned in the opposite direction
to the rule, referring in this way the role of a priest as a shepherd of believers even after death. During excavation
works conducted inside the parish church of St. Nicolas in Gniew, many burials containing fragments of silk grave
garments were revealed, including remains of priests in a crypt with pieces of liturgical vestments. Two chasubles and
stoles were selected for futher analysis. They were made from silk textiles together with ornamented mercery. The
burials date between the 16th and 18th centuries.
