This particularly refers to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodship, where forest covers over 30% of its area. Prospection of forested areas has become possible in Poland just over 10 years ago with the Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). These techniques allow obtaining 3-D documentation of recognized and also unknown archaeological sites in the forested areas. Thanks to ALS/LiDAR prospection a significant number of archaeological structures have been identified also in the Warmia and Masuria regions. Among them oval-shaped hillforts, surrounded by perfectly spaced concentric moats and ramparts, located mainly on islands and in wetland areas, have raised particular attention. Based on field prospection and results of preliminary excavations, these objects have been considered as Iron Age hillforts. One of the best preserved objects of this type is...

In the territory of the Mazowieckie Province approximately 200 remains of early historic strongholds have survived to our times. The article presents the types of these sites, threats to them and forms of actions undertaken to protect them. Protecting these sites means first of all to include them into the register of scheduled monuments, but much more important activities are related to planning, because it is important especially for areas with intensive urban processes to control changes in the environment of such a monument. Unfortunately, currently none of the strongholds in the Mazovia has a long-term preservation plan. Equally important nowadays is the public participation in archaeological heritage management. The achieving public appreciation and acceptance for historical places, the attaining the identif...

Podczas badań zrealizowano praktyki terenowe dla studentów archeologii. 2 Rekonesans polegał na wykonaniu pomiarów georadarowych (167 profili wokół zamku), pomiarów elektrooporowych metodą tomografii elektrooporowej (9 profili) i pomiarów geomagnetycznych (7 poligonów); ich wyniki zostały zweryfikowane za pomocą 10 wierceń świdrem geologicznym.
