In the Archaeology Institute of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń there is a room fitted with a interesting way. The cabinet of relics is a unique scientific idea of presenting objects that were acquired during excavations. In the cabinet there are numerous gathered relics that were found in the Polish land. The oldest are dated to 100 000years. The objects were made of different materials, including wood, metal, or antlers, bones and clay.

During the many years of archaeological research in the settlement micro-region in Ulów in Middle Roztocze, traces of human presence dated to Old and Middle Stone Ages (Palaeolithic and Mesolithic) were discovered. M ost sources are flint materials, most of which lost their stratigraphic context due to subsequent settlement. At the current stage of research, their classification is possible only on the basis of a typological and comparative analysis. M ost likely, the oldest traces of human occupancy in the vicinity of Ulów can be synchronized with a series of radiocarbon dating obtained for samples of charcoal from five different archaeological sites. The to-date discoveries have revealed new sources for research on the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods in south-eastern Poland.

The most important Mesolithic site on the Island of Ikaria, Kerame 1, extends 80 m along the sloping edge of the cliff and is up to 40 m wide. The site is a sum of repeated sojourns of Mesolithic groups that had left behind concentrations of lithic artefacts, which were subsequently displaced by post-depositional agents, first of all by erosion. As a result, the site reveals now a large concentration of finds in Trenches E, C, and G. Moreover, post-depositional agents caused the destruction of permanent features such as the hearths associated with the various khsemenitsas, or — possibly — stone rings surrounding the dwelling structures. Only in trenches D, B and E the remains of a circular stone rings, probably around hearths, were registered. The lithic industry of Kerame 1 displays considerable similarity to the site of Maroulas on Kythnos; the techno-morphological differences are, probably, the effect of differing raw materials structure at Kerame 1 and at Maroulas. At Kerame 1, the distant interregional contacts and the influx of extralocal raw materials (documented by the flow of obsidian nodules from Melos and Yali) caused that production in a full cycle was carried out on-site. Thus, there was no specialization of lithic production, and unworked nodules of raw material were exploited in the particular social clusters in a full cycle, whose outcome were tools to be used by a given unit. Regretfully, because organic materials (also bones) have not been preserved we have no data to determine seasonality at Kerame l. Nevertheless, we can say with all certainty that Mesolithic groups visiting Kerame 1 were mobile, which is evidenced by the network of interregional contacts. The most noticeable similarity between Kerame 1 and Maroulas can be accounted for by the chronological closeness of the two sites. The AMS determinations from Maroulas concentrate in the first half of the 9th millenium cal. BC (Facorellis et a1. 2010). Similarly, the dates from obsidian dehydration from Kerame 1 (if their broad standard deviation is overlooked) correspond to the first half of the 9th millenium cal. BC.

In river valleys, both human occupation and subsequent preservation of archaeological sites are affected by active landscape transformation caused by river lateral migration, inci-sion/aggradation cycles and changes of river hydrological regime. In the middle Vychegda River val-ley (Northern Russia), there are numerous traces of human presence since the Mesolithic. We exploit multi-disciplinary archaeological, geomorphological and geochronological approach to elucidate the environmental preferences of settlements positioning during different epochs of the Holocene. High resolution space image supplemented with data on alluvial stratigraphy derived from bank exposures and hand cores, as well as 51 radiocarbon dates were used to make the geomorphic map showing ages of floodplain/terrace segments and palaeochannels. Using this map together with sediment facial in-terpretation, position of archaeological sites was analysed in the context of local geomorphic and hy-drologic situation. The majority of archaeological sites and modern settlements are found on terraces at river banks or at oxbow lakes which were well connected to the river. Few exceptions from this rule may be explained by seasonal character of dwelling functioning, ritual burial practice or speciali-zation of settlements. Geomorphic situation was used as a background for planning further prospec-tion of different-age archaeological objects.

The flint material found in 2001 on the dune surface at Huta Radoryska in South-Podlasian Lowland near Żelechów is associated with human activity. The dune is located at Mała Bystrzyca depression. This depression, filled with the Wartanian silts, Eemian, Vistulian sands and Holocene peats, was formed after dead ice had thawed during deglaciation of the Wartanian ice sheet. The dune is built from eolian sands, mainly accumulated in the Late Vistulian (the Younger Dryas). The palaeosol (podsolic), formed in the Atlantic Period, occurs in the upper part of the dune. There were flints (344) pieces within humus horizon A1 of this palaeosol and above it. Flint cores and tools were recognised among flints. Most of the artefacts were connected with the Mesolithic (the Komornica and Chojnice-Pieńki Culture). Few Late Palaeolithic and Bronze Age flint artefacts were also found. Human activity have lasted for over 10 thousand years on this dune.

Wetland sites are widespread through the central and northeastern European Russia. We performed a detailed radiocarbon dating on four such sites within the Upper Volga river basin, and one site within the middle Vychegda river basin (Komi Republic). Most of the sites contain cultural layers documenting human occupation in the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. A variety of sample types were collected: archaeological (bones, bone artefacts, worked and unworked wood, charcoal, carbon residue etc.) and enclosing organic deposits (peat, gyttja, mud). We paid special attention to the stratigraphic relationship of the samples, concerning their archaeological context. Plant macrofossil analysis of organic deposits was performed towards determining their origin and depositional features. This work resulted in a chronology of full Mesolithic and early Neolithic settling within the Upper Volga area, together with new data on Neolithic settling of the Sub-Ural region.

During the last years the investigations of Stone Age and Early Metal sites on the Karelian Isthmus were much intensified. Presently, about 180 archaeological sites belonging to these periods are recorded. A considerable part of these sites have been found and investigated by joint cooperative efforts of Russian and Finnish archaeologists. 12 sites of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Metal ages are characterized by 30 radiocarbon dates. Several dates were obtained from the sites of prolonged duration and with a mixed stratigraphy, which makes them less reliable. This article includes the catalogue of 14C dates and the information regarding their attribution.
