Publisher's Synopsis
Within the framework of cooperation between the Jagellonian University in Cracow and the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena a project has been undertaken in the domain of studies over the ancient civilizations, embracing among other things more important problems from the history of both Universities' archaeological collections and studies over the ancient objects coming from them. The first publication from this domain appeared in print in Jena in 1985 (cf. Zur Geschichte der klassischen Archaologie Jena - Krakow, Wissenschaflliche Beitrage der Friedrich-Schiller-Universitat Jena). The volume of studies actually presented is devoted to selected objects from the both centres' archaeological collections.
