The pa per pres ents the data on an Eemian-Late Gla cial sed i men tary se quence from the Zwierzyniec site, cen tral Po land. A num ber of bore holes doc u ment one or two or ganic lay ers that oc cur be neath one or two ho ri zons of clayey and silty de pos its of ice-dammed lakes. This study dem on strates to which ex tent the Zwierzyniec site can con trib ute to a better un der stand ing of the palaeoenvironmental changes dur ing the Eemian-Vistulian time-frame in cen tral Po land. To study it, a multi-proxy approach was ap plied, in volv ing: palynological and plant macrofossil anal y sis, study of round ing of quartz grains and mor phology of their sur face, and in ves ti ga tions of sand min er al ogy and till pe trog ra phy. The re sults show that a till bed is over lain by a sandy se ries cor re spond ing to the gla cial-inter gla cial tran si tion. Ei ther one or two dis tinct peaks of or ganic ac cu mu la tion are ev i denced by peat ho ri zons. The lower ho ri zon re cords spec tra with ha zel and horn beam, and did, there fore, ac cu mu late in the Eemian. Ob served only in some bore holes, the up per peat ho ri zon marks the BrÝrup (or the lower part of the Rederstall stadial) rep re sented by for est-steppe con di tions with patchy mo sa ics of larch and fur ther tran si tion into sedges and her baceous taxa. Lo cal ized in be tween the two peat se quences, the sandy ho ri zon marks a long-last ing ae olian trans for ma tion with weath er ing by frost in the Early Vistulian. Again, sig nif i cant changes of the palaeoenvironmental re gime oc curred, and are man i fested in the one or two ho ri zons of the glaciolacustrine sed i ments. This cor re sponded to the last gla ci ation in the region, when the ice-dammed lakes formed dur ing the Main Stadial.

“…Surveys with application of resistivity cone in a soil medium supply detailed data on its structure (Antoniuk and Mościcki, Daniel et al, 1999;1994;Antoniuk and Mościcki, 2001;Yoon et al, 2011;Kowalczyk et al, 2015), the relation between electrical resistivity and the clay content (Zawrzykraj, 2005;Long et al, 2012), the relationships between electrical resistivity and soil behavior type index I c , relative density (Cai et al, 2016), or detect contaminated soil layers (Antoniuk and Mościcki, 2001;Fukue et al, 2001;Mondelli et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2009). Moreover, the results of such measurements are extremely valuable in the interpretation of standard, surface geoelectrical surveys, restricting the natural ambiguity of these methods (Antoniuk and Mościcki, 1994;Kowalczyk et al, 2015).…”

The paper presents an application of the geoelectrical method in organic soils occurring in the area of a designed investment. Two techniques have been applied: electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) and measurements with a resistivity cone penetration test (RCPT). ERI measurements made using Schlumberger and gradient arrays have allowed to obtain a two-dimensional image of resistivity variability in the soil medium. RCPT measurements have enabled an accurate observation of vertical changes in electrical resistivity (or conductivity) in the soil medium in selected measurement points. Electrical resistivity is a physical parameter that may reflect the variability of the geological medium with regard to lithology if the range of conductivity of water filling the pore space is narrow. When it is properly calibrated with borehole data, ERI interpretation allows to determine the boundaries between different soil layers. Adaptation of the "cumulative resistivity" method to RCPT data enabled to distinguish layers characterized by different physical properties and corresponding to boundaries of geological-engineering layers. ERI and RCPT measurements conducted during expressway construction have contributed to the recognition of soils of low bearing capacity such as organic soils (peats, gyttja and aggradate muds).

The article presents the results of archaeological prospection of site Dračevica (Donji Radiši ci, Ljubuški municipality, West Herzegovina Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina) which was partly excavated in the late 19th century and so far has been interpreted as a Roman villa, possibly with a special function (road station) and a name attested in ancient sources (Bigeste). Through the use of various nondestructive prospecting methods (aerial photogrammetry, fieldwalking survey, magnetic susceptibility, magnetometry, earth resistance), precise location with RTK GNSS and integration of the data in GIS, the site was restudied and reinterpreted. It was established that the structures are not isolated, as was assumed in the earlier research but rather were a part of a much larger Roman settlement. The research proves that the internal spatial division of the site is more complicated than previously thought, consisting of several building complexes located along a road, as well as land division systems.
