Abstract
Historical accounts of Otto of Bamberg’s twelfth-century Christianisation mission in Pyrzyce, Poland, have inspired archaeological excavations, which in turn influenced anthropological research into contemporary religious imagery. Archaeological investigations at Pyrzyce’s early medieval stronghold thus inform broader scholarly recognition of the past religious landscape and its present transformation.
