What can symbols carved or burned into medieval barrels tell us about commerce and craft in the late Middle Ages? 🪵

Maciej Miścicki’s new study examines 112 marked barrel fragments from 14th–16th century contexts in Elbląg, Gdańsk, and Puck. These symbols—ranging from simple geometric figures to irregular line compositions—likely served as merchants’ marks, ownership signs, or indicators of workshop origin. The paper highlights both the interpretative potential and limits of visual classification in medieval material culture.

The European University Association has released its new briefing "Reclaiming academic ownership of the scholarly communication system", calling on academic institutions to take the lead in reforming academic publishing. It highlights key issues like high costs, lack of transparency, and growing commercial control, and offers concrete steps toward a more open, sustainable, and community-driven model.

The journal Archeologické rozhledy, published by the Institute of Archaeology in Prague as a Diamond Open Access journal, already follows many of the practices recommended in the report—ensuring free access for readers, no charges for authors, and strong institutional support. A good example of how scholarly communication can stay aligned with academic values.
