| Popis: | Situated among marshy meadows, the cone-shaped gord in Woźniki has been an object of interest for researchers since the early twentieth century. However, probing excavations were only carried out by the staff of the Archaeology Department of the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom in 1957. They confirmed the historic character of the site, but provided little information on the appearance of the buildings or stages of their functioning. Unfortunately, in the twentieth century the gord was destroyed and its plateau is now heavily levelled. In 2023, it was decided to return to the research of the site, using non-invasive techniques. A thorough re-examination of the surface was also performed with a metal detector and spatial planigraphy. This yielded a number of new interesting results, providing a reason for further research of the site. |
