Planned activities:

1) Introductory seminars to be held in the last week of September 2023 at the Department of Civilisations and Forms of Knowledge. The seminars will be held by the Department’s lecturers and Dr Radoslaw Grabowskiand will focus on environmental archaeology, understood in its broadest sense as the history of interactions between humans and non-humans, the analysis of anthracological remains and the archaeology of coal production.
The seminars will be open to all students of the programmes involved in the initiative.

2) Surface archaeological survey aimed at studying the tangible traces of charcoal production. The survey campaign will last two weeks, during which the students will be able to experiment with the methods for documenting archaeological evidence and sediment sampling for environmental analysis.

3) The students who participated in the first and second phases respectively, will organise and moderate a concluding workshop in which they will have the opportunity to present the results obtained during the fieldwork and discuss their experience with the larger group.
