TY - GEN N1 - ill. ; 24 cm N2 - Archaeological research and architectural studies carried out in the ducal part of the stronghold in Ostrów Tumski in Poznań unearthed remains of a duke’s palace (Fig. 1). A unique clay container was found in a chamber adjoining the palace hall on the north (Fig. 2). Judging by the imprints on the inside walls of the object, it could have been made to protect a seal affixed to a document by a cord (Fig. 3). The surface was stamped with imprints of a crouching dog, guard of the seal. This finding, together with matrices and a lead ducal bulla, suggests the presence of a chancery in the Poznań stronghold, where documents were not only stored, but also drawn up M3 - Text J2 - Archaeologia Polona Vol. 45 (2007) PY - 2007 EP - 112 KW - Poznań-Ostrów Tumski KW - Early Medieval period KW - Seal A1 - Kóčka-Krenz, Hanna A1 - Sikorski, Andrzej PB - Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology Polish Academy of Sciences VL - 45 CY - Warszawa SP - 105 T1 - Seal container (?) from Poznań-Ostrów Tumski UR - http://rcin.org.pl/dlibra/publication/77253 ER -
