Abstract: In the second half of the 20th century during archaeological excavations in the area of the Old Town in Wolin were discovered remains of two features which stood out against the background of wooden structures characteristic of this centre in the early Middle Ages, dated to the second half of the 9th century and the 10th-11th century which were interpreted as pagan temples. As a result of later reinterpretation of sources the hypothesis of functioning in Wolin pagan cult focused around the two temples was negated. According to the author of this text the analysis of available source base does not seem to give rise to such an unequivocal interpretation and rejection of earlier findings.
Abstract: The article concerns a boat burial containing the skeleton of a man and furnished with an iron axe head and three bone skates, discovered in 1889 in Szczecin and then completely forgotten. Based on the analysis of the archives and the examination of the axe head, the authors date the find to the 11th century and consider it a burial of a representative of an elite originating from Pomerania or the Baltic Slavic area.
