GLASS BEADS FROM THE CEMETERY IN MIŁOSLAWICE IN SILESIA.

POSSIBLE INTERPRETATIONS

Hcadl madę of gląze are attractive discovcrics. and when found in groves mwryoftett considered to be thc clcments “distinguishing" burials which they iiiwnied. Thcy appeared in great numbcr at the Lusatian culture cemeteries, •wially at thc sites locnted in the western part of Poland. which was embraced bymmi: so-called Hallstatt influenccs. It is not easy to estimate the aggregate «hcr ofbeads known front Silesia, or to map all thc sites connected with thcnt. Dk itate or research on that group of products does not look well and has not dl.mged significantly sińce the beginning of 1990s, i.e. when T. Malinowski pub-lisliaj'his cntical twiew of it. The author pointed at acutc shortage of publications deuHcd entirely to those products. especially conceming their disscmination. ' pokigical and chronologieal divcrsity. not to mcntion the need of performing nicd Chemical nnalyscs. which niight allow to indicate spccific directions front •e those products were brought to Polish lands (Malinowski 1991).

Hic tuja of this paper is mainly a presentation of a large set of glass bcads Jwg cred at u cemetery front thc end of the Bronze Age and the early Iron Age in Mikałwice, as well as an attempt at interpretation of the prcscncc of such finds . i.vd to a spccific. vast necropolis. No professionnl Chemical analyses have, ncdly, heen carried out yet, but the number and \ ariety of glass bcads is sig-.it and suggests that they might have been produced in difterent workshops.

In various papers on the connections between Polish lands and neighbouring ■ es. thediscusscd category of products is gencrally interpreted as imports. "'uduets of a foreign provenance, which in wious periods of the Bron/e fMndcsjtccially in the early Iron Age. "poured in" front the widely recognised >. of Europę (luka I9J9; 81; Bukowski 1989; 197). Appearancc of nunterous i ivjd> in Great Poland is regnrded as one of the presages of qualitativcly ootacłs of Polish territorics with the Alpine-Meditcminc.in world u ithin
