The following paper presents an environmental examination and the results of the selected analyses of archaeological waterlogged oak wood (Quercus sp.) obtained from excavations carried out at the early medieval site of Czermno in eastern Poland near the Ukrainian border. Due to the good state of preservation of the wood tissue (De Jong’s classification class III – maximum moisture content Umax < 185%) and its deposition in near anaerobic layers (reed peat and calcareous gyttja) an attempt was made to obtain the DNA sequence from samples acquired from the uncovered historical construction. In the course of the research, a DNA sequence was obtained from one sample derived from the trial pit W4/2014, the radiocarbon dated to 776-982 calAD. A comparison of the DNA data extracted from the historical wood to two sequences obtained from the trees (Quercus robur L.) growing near the site of Czermno, indicates clear similarities between each of them. The DNA sequence obtained from the archaeological oak wood confirms the assumption that proximate anaerobic layers, under specific conditions, can inhibit the degradation of DNA structure.

Concept of landscape horizontal belts in the Polish Tatra Mountains

The history of changes of geoecological belts in the mountains exerts influence on the structure and functioning of the landscape. In many mountain regions, a convergence of two basic altitudinal lines occurs: the contemporary upper timberline and the cold Pleistocene snow line. The Tatra Mts. are an example of such a situation. These lines constitute the border between the high-mountain landscape and the landscape of mid- and low mountains (according to the Polish classification). However, this convergence also marks out the horizontal border across the profile of the valley, which separates the part with completely established high mountain landform complex (with postglacial cirques)from the remaining part of the valley. The montane belt can be also divided into two parts characterized by different landscape structure, due to existence of the influence of catenal processes from the subsystem of high-mountain belt. On these bases, the author introduces the concept of landscape horizontal belts in the mountain landscape of the Polish Tatra Mts., dividing the latter into three functional belts: the typical high-mountain landscape, the transitional landscape, and the typical landscape of mid- and low mountains.
