Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
Site-protection system in the Second Polish Commonwealth after abolition of the State group of conservators of prehistoric sites, i.e. after the reform of 1928 is considered at the article. The main difference compared with previous years was liquidation of the post of local conservator, and their functions were transferred to voivodeship officials. In 1929, direction of the General Conservator was created, led by Jerzy Remer. In fact, all issues were resolved “from above”, i.e. from Warsaw. For carrying out archaeological researches, it was necessary to obtain permission, after finishing of the work to submit a report, and in the end of a year to give back permission and to make a request for a new one. Such was the situation on a paper. In real life it was something different. Taking into account that during researched period in Lviv Ukrainian and Polish archaeological environments existed it is interesting to follow not only cooperation between Ukrainian and Polish archaeologists, but also their relations with authorities. Ukrainian archaeology in Lviv was developed by Shevchenko Scientific Society. Misunderstanding between Ukrainian archaeologists and authorities is a good illustration of the political situation, which in one way or another creates an obstacle for science. Archaeological activity of Jaroslav Pasternak and his relations with the authorities are also considered at the article. For several years archaeologist and Shevchenko Scientific Society had to struggle for the right to conduct excavations. Finally, in order not to break the presidential decree “About the guardianship of sites ...”, J. Pasternak was allowed to carry out field excavations. However, each of his steps should be reflected in the report. Despite the obstacles and prohibitions 1928–1939 for Ukrainian archaeology in Lviv was surprisingly productive. In the personal case of Y. Pasternak list of expeditions conducted during the “Lviv period” of life of the scientist is preserved, in which 44 expeditions are mentioned. Obviously, not all of his 1–2 days-long trips to sites are referred here. Exhibits from most sites were transferred to the Museum of Shevchenko Scientific Society, headed by J. Pasternak.
