Abstract

In 2020, the Publishing House of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw and the State Archaeological Museum in Warsaw released a monograph dedicated to a mine site named “Za garncarzami” in Ożarów (Opatów distr., Świętokrzyskie voivodeship). This publication was an outcome of the project aimed at summarising the results of studies carried out in the mining field in Ożarów in the years 1979–1991. It was also an attempt to interpret these results employing modern metholology and available techniques. This publication has filled up the gap in our knowledge of this site, since before its release the results of such research had been announced only as short articles (e.g., Budziszewski 1986; 1997; Budziszewski and Grużdź 2014). As a result, a modern monograph of the site was created, presenting the outcomes of studies in a comprehensive and multi-aspect manner. The research project and releasing of the publication in question were co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, National Institute of Cultural Heritage, and the Local Government of the Masovian Voivodeship.
