The article aims to present the multifaceted activity of Józef Żurowski (1892-1936), an archaeologist and conservator of prehistoric artefacts in Małopolska. The study relies on extensive archival material and Żurowski’s numerous publications. In the years 1920-1936, he was the conservator of the Krakow region and later the West Małopolska region, acting successively on behalf of the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators and the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw. Żurowski’s most outstanding achievements include carrying out the first excavations in the banded fl int mine in Krzemionki, conducting research on multicultural sites in Złota, supervising the digging of the monumental Krakus Mound, discovering and interpreting the first burials of the Bell Beaker culture in Poland, as well as examining many early medieval cemeteries. As a conservator, he not only inventoried and excavated many archaeological sites - such as numerous strongholds, barrows, and the caves of the Ojców Jura - but also ensured their protection and preservation. Józef Żurowski died prematurely at 45, yet he is one of the most distinguished Polish archaeologists of the Second Polish Republic.

The times of the Second Polish Republic were a particularly important period in the development of Polish archeology, because after Poland regained independence, the first state institution was established to organize the protection of archaeological monuments throughout the country. It was the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators functioning in the years 1920-1928. Their activities in the Kielce voivodeship brought particularly interesting results. Conservators and delegates of the State Group of Prehistoric Monuments Conservators did a lot in the field of inventory and protection of archaeological monuments in the Kielce region, undertaking surface and excavation rescue research, as well as popularizing archeology among the inhabitants of the region. The result of their activities was the registration, discovery, and exploration of many archaeological sites, including such valuable ones as a complex of multicultural sites in Złota near Sandomierz and in Książnice Wielkie, and a unique complex of striped flint mines in Krzemionki near Ostrowiec. The sites discovered at that time in the Kielce voivodeship are still the subject of interest and research to Polish archaeologists.

Zdzisław Lenartowicz, painter by profession and archaeologist by avocation, conducted archaeological studies at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century. He was a discoverer and the first researcher of many archaeological sites located within today’s Świętokrzyskie province (former Kieleckie and Radomskie provinces). Archaeology owes to him mainly the discoveries of extraordinary, multi-cultured sites in Złota near Sandomierz and unearthing the settlement of miners working in the mine of striped flint in Krzemionki, located on the Gawroniec hill near Ćmielów. Lenartowicz was a self-educated archaeologist, which was actually a rule among Polish researchers of his generation. At the beginning, he made many mistakes during excavations and also dispersed the remains extracted from the sites. After some time, though, Lenartowicz made considerable progress and thanks to contacts with more experienced archaeologists he gradually improved his skills. Additionally, he started to publish independent reports of the results of his methodically conducted excavations on subsequently discovered sites, including i.a. in Ludwików near Łopuszno and in Glinka near Ćmielów. At the beginning of the 20th century the 60-year old researcher was ousted from field work but still he deserves our memory and recognition as a man who contributed to an important part of Polish archaeology of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Prehistoric archaeology constituted an important topic in the writings of Karol Libelt during the final stage of his work. As a result of several years’ research and bringing up this subject in his texts, Libelt made notable achievements in the field of prehistoric archaeology. The most important of them are: description of archaeological discoveries in Czeszewo, participation in a dispute over prehistoric chronology with Stefan Pawlicki in 1871, and also one of the first descriptions of the Stone Age in the Polish literature. Thus Libelt should be considered as a pioneer in prehistoric research, particularly the Stone Age, in Poland. Apart from that, among his undoubted achievements was propagation of the theory of evolution, although with reservations, during the earliest stage of Darwinism’s reception in Poland.
