I am a specialist in the history and archaeology of societies living in the Baltic Sea region during Late Antiquity. Recently I have published several works on the Jastorf Culture in the Wielkopolska Lowland, one of them in 2012 as part of the prestigious BAR International Series. I have carried out excavations in Pomerania and Wielkopolska regions for several years. I published over 160 contributions and 4 books. I also edited 6 books. I had a scholarship from Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel and from Martin-Luther-Universität Halle (Saale). Currently I work at the Institute of Archaeology Gdańsk University where I am chair of the Department of Barbarian Europe. I completed a number of research grants and published the results of two of these in the series “Monumenta Archaeologica Barbarica”. I am actively involved in promoting archaeology and archaeological heritage protection. I initiated the construction of an open air museum at Rosko on the Noteć River. I cooperate with the Regional Conservator of Monuments Office in Poznań. I am a member of the Scientific Association of Polish Archaeologists.
