摘要:as the province of Third Reich (germ. Das Dritte
Reich)1 that was most abundant in archaeological
fnds. It resulted not only from the fact that the region
was very attractive for the settlers in particular pe-
riods but also from the good state of research here. It
was in Breslau (Wrocław) where one of the frst muse-
ums directed to archaeology was established in 1815
A.D. (Bandurska, 1998; Demidziuk, 1999, p. 176;
2000a, p. 9; 2001, p. 9) and archaeology was taught
in university starting from 1822 A.D. (Gediga, 1998,
s. 33–34). Also here a service for preserving the monu-
ments acted from the middle of 19th c. A.D. (Kramarek,
1970, p. 212–213) basing on the unique act aimed to
protect archaeological antiquities2. Additionally there
were numerous regional scientifc societies which col-
laborated with archaeologists3. Astoundingly, despite
militant history of the region during 19th and 20th c.
A.D. (Demidziuk, Żmudziński, forthcoming), changes
in administration system (Davis, Moorhose, 2002,
s. 243) and reorganization or relocation of particular
institutions (Demidziuk, 2000a; 2001) roughly 80 %
of fles and 60 % of artifacts survived4. Unfortunately,
almost all of local collections was destroyed5.
