Swiatowit

Aims & Scope

‘Światowit’ is a yearbook published by the Faculty of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw.

The periodical was established in 1899 by Erazm Majewski (1858-1922), a merited researcher, collector, co-founder of modern Polish archaeology and, since 1919, the first professor of prehistory at the University of Warsaw. ‘Światowit’ is one of the oldest archaeological journals currently issued in Poland.

Its name and logo, in use since 1900, was a reference to then well-known archaeological relics and emphasised the importance of archaeological studies for the history of Poland.

Nevertheless, from its very beginning, it was open to questions pertaining to general archaeology as well as methodological debates.

For more than a century, ‘Światowit’ has been linked to the Warsaw archaeological circles and the University of Warsaw, thus witnessing institutional transformations and developments in Polish archaeology.

Gradual integration of the academic archaeological community and intensification of studies at the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw, established in 1975, resulted in opening the periodical to the Mediterranean and non-European archaeology as well as new research methods.

In consequence, by valuing confrontation of differing methodologies and interpretations, ‘Światowit’ presents contributions from different archaeological specialisations.

For a long period of time, ‘Światowit’ used to be focused on publishing research reports submitted by affiliates of the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw.

However, at present, due to rapidly intensifying cooperation and emergence and internationalisation of large research teams, the periodical has opened to different archaeological communities, both from Poland and abroad.
